Like I said, the messaging around the PRC's imperialistic ambitions in Taiwan goes far beyond the concern around blockades. It's just interesting from a military/strategic perspective.

Worth noting that even Russia has not been blockaded after it's imperialistic annexation of Ukraine.

Lots of good points, but one aspect that people haven't mentioned yet is that Taiwan is part of the "first island chain"

If the PRC conquers Taiwan, then it makes it much harder for the west to blockade the PRC in future conflicts.

Though technically, it is much more important to control the strait of Malacca than Taiwan.

The Linux drivers were pretty buggy at launch, so probably. Every Mesa release this year has come with a ton of fixes and improvements.

Some hospitals are horribly staffed like this. In Sweden I had this problem until I changed to a different (government-owned) GP.

Trump and Netanyahu have alienated 92 million people from the west and kicked a massive, nuclear, hornets nest. I worry that the Tehran regime has nothing left to lose at this point. They're on the ropes militarily, but they're not out of power.
