TSMC being 2-4 years ahead of Samsung/Intel has nothing to do whether US would be willing to go on a nuclear war and move the entire world decades if not millenias back. No one can go on a direct war with a country with nukes unless they are ready for mutually assured destruction.

Russia thought the same when it thought it could hide behind its nukes. Alas.

And it did. US could do very very significant harm to Russia's military if nuclear retaliation wasn't a threat. And probably that would be cheaper than the weapons/training that they are giving to Ukraine.

Sorry, but this leads to nuclear proliferation. This means unless you have nukes, you are a nobody.

At this point it's better to just have that nuclear war instead of the rest of us being pawn of nuclear states. There is no dignity in this.

Well I commend you that would rather live in a post nuclear hellscape dystopia rather than be the citizen of a vassal state of a Nuclear Power.
