Trump is planning military attacks on Cuba. Please no.
People bouncing off the walls about China's plan to invade Taiwan for over half a century.
But the US ratcheting tensions into the next Bay of Pigs debacle never seems to crack the front pages.
Yeah nobody's talking about it

Taiwan had assurances from USA for decades but now it has little more than a plan to destroy the infrastructure that China would most want to take (chip production) if they invade along with tactics from Ukraine (they've been trading drone technology). So Taiwan is stuck betting that China thinks it would be too costly to invade.
