Not Oil, The Next World War Could Be Fought Over This Essential Commodity That Drives World Economy

Semi-Conductors - the microchips inside every electronic device could become a component that can cause a world war. Taiwan which is the market leader in producing semi-conductor is under threat from Xi Jinping. However, Taiwan's high-end semi-conductors is also helping it make allies like the US.

[@HANUMAN7454]

I was worried about this too. but I think it's pretty much a wrap at this point. Nato waited far 2 long to get involved hopefully and this war is gonna be over soon for the most part. The Russians took out almost all of Ukraines refineries oil depots and weapons depots. They are soon to finish off whats left of the Ukranian army in the east. Azov is already finished for the most part. The remnants are held up in a massive steel foundry getting hammered by artillery and not being re supplied. The Ukranians tanks r useless soon w out fuel and many have been destroyed already. To prevent a needless massacre Zelensky should surrender at this point but he wont bcz some of the the not so great ppl around him wont allow him because they realize they arent surviving this outcome. The Russians will take all of eastern Ukraine probably Odesa also and leave western Ukraine and Kyiv eventually establishing a dmz in btwn. Hopefully Poland doesn't get any ideas about Lviv.

Technically USA didn't even move any of their military marine mains units from Asia to Ukraine. It would have become a large problem if Putin was able to capture Ukraine and control the food supply but from the ongoing development. Russia is becoming a declining power and so has its military might as what was proclaimed as "the world's 2nd strongest army". If you remove the nuclear technical weapon - I am not even sure if it can beat India/Beijing anymore with so many failures (not just logistics) exposed in this invasion. Putin either got egged into doing it by those who can benefit from it or repeated its history with Afghanistan. "Taliban with 60-80k troops was able to throw out Nato forces in days, we have superior unites... so it'll just be a matter of 2-8 days for Moscow to capture the capital and at least half of Ukraine" >____> That didn't work out well and over 1/5* of the top general were lost in this invasion. *The loss within a month far exceeds what Nato/USA lost in Afganastan over the period of 20 years. Needless to say; many civilian casual will rise as the war continue even if it does weaken Russia which is failing to pull out swiftly. Also because Putin had weaponized Oil/Gas and even give an indication that he'll nationalize any foreign company that wants to exit Russia. Even if Ukraine signs a peace deal with Russia - the sanction and the mass exit of the investor* will continue due to a lack of security. *Exception may be Beijing - who may want to move into the Russia market during its fall but that's itself is a big gamble because unlike their investment into other countries that can mount economic pressure on those nations. Pussia might just seize those companies with or without any valid reason and Beijing won't do much to support those investors.

Excellent analysis 👍

[@kevinc1200]

This is a flawed logic. Most technologically advanced countries can produce their own semi-conductors. The issue is that with the exception of Taiwan and South Korea, they cannot produce the most cutting edge chips in such a way as to make a profit in the global economy. Taiwan, while very advanced, is only a few years ahead of Chinese and US foundries. In the event of a world war, the globalized economic system that has been built up in the past 30 years will likely collapse, leading to more regionalization of economies. Absent a highly competitive and efficient global market for semi-conductors then, the value of those few years of lead time TSMC enjoys would be greatly reduced. In other words, fighting a world war over chips would be highly counter productive as the initiation of the war would destroy the value of the thing it is fought over.

[@sg4250]

Hope this opens your eyes and your perspective:::::: At a Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) conference in late June, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo declared that Washington could “shut down” any Chinese semiconductor company caught selling to Russia since “almost every chip in the world and in China is made using U.S equipment and software.” Now what she is refering to are called lithography machines. Only and only USA knows the entire technology to produce them. Neither Samsung or TSMC have any clue. Thus you see that USA was not a fool to decrease it's market share in semi conductor business decades ago when it exported it's silicon Valley to it's colonies in the far east. It has the absolute control over technology even today and shifting factories to cheaper labour market made the US companies richer.

I think the biggest threat to the chip foundaries in Taiwan, and Korea, is not from China's military attack. The most realistic threat is actually from the US. Many companies from Taiwan and Korea are asked to set up their foundaries in the US, generally without much economic sense to the companies but more to the benefits of the US. However threat from China remains large, if China managed to produce top end chip, with their massive production capability, game is practically over.

A worldwar for hightech is so hillaroius. Nobody needs it after this event. Every what you need a field and semen for your food, if you still alive.

[@bongwelll]

Good thing America shipped all of its manufacturing jobs overseas. (Sarcasm)

It's stupid to go to war over Semiconductors when each country can make their own if they wanted to,even Teenagers can make these things

[@sootuckchoong7077]

I can make chips myself.

[@SumitPalTube]

Yeah i regularly fry them in hot oil.

[@juandelacruz1520]

Click bait,, if taiwan can make it ,,why go to war for it? When you can always make it.. such speculation is sick,,crux is faillure

[@miketrusky476]

Liquid computers are on the way, there is a huge advancement coming in a year. Progress cannot be stopped. Chips will become whale oil.

[@jerrymont2595]

All sovergn nations can produce those chips, I mean all ! Tiawan's TMSA is a conglomeration of nations making chips of which only some have the natural resources to provide to TMSA to produce each company"s or country's desired chips, I believe. Imagine if Taiwan couldn't obtain the natural resources to produce chip for and via any country? That would be a problem, especially with direct and indirect worldwide backfiring sanctions being imposed? Who would be the cause of the death of tiawan's semiconductor production? Who would be the victim of the bombs and missles of the powers whose direct and indirect sanctions? Do you really think the U.S., NATO and European countries would start savagely going to war against each other, if Taiwan's alleged TMSA is halted due to the vicarious and direct effects of sanctions? Or would a propaganda blame game start as a pretext to start a war with some other country? Just food for thought considering your theory viewed from a different angle that could happen and put other countries with less military might in extreme danger?

You need oil to make these semi conductors

The world is very bright and able to produce their own. If their factory is disabled we will build another. What did Putin tell you?

[@curtismckiernan6640]

Just discovered that a planet killer asteroid is headed for collision with Earth in 30 minutes. Since it takes an ICBM only 20 minutes to cross the globe, just go ahead and push that button.

[@archangelmichael5908]

Despite cynical speculation, nothing of such will happen.

[@nawaz169]

US and NATO is accountable for all these problems and crisis in this world. Right?

[@demotkt2357]

No.
