        Good news is that US has now outsourced so many essential industries to China that they might not be physically capable of going to war.

          It’ll take at least a decade to rebuild what they’ve lost in terms of industrial capacity, in my opinion. And then they have to find skilled workers. I’m not so sure that this generation or the next, want to work in factories, at least in North America.

      I let you read the comments from their source since you didn’t actually bother reading mine.

      Edit: people can check my Lemmy history on the topic, I ask the same thing here every few months. Anyway also the moment to suggest Chips War (even though, as always, outdated) as a good book IMHO on the geopolitics of chips manufacturing.

        1 you didn’t provide any sources. 2 your book suggestion leads me to repeat my comment: ‘geopolitically motivated’.

        Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology is a 2022 nonfiction book by Chris Miller, an economic historian and nonresident senior fellow at the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute.

        I have a slight feeling he may not be totally objective.
