    “Starvation isn’t uncommon”

    Since the whole point is starvation, you should probably expound on how a ban on semiconductor technology exports to China will induce starvation

        Oh ok, I didn’t realize we had strayed off topic. So it sounds like we’re in agreement these semiconductor sanctions against China are not “siege warfare”

          I say it’s an opening salvo. Do you think it’ll stop here?

          Just because the siege hasn’t fully begun doesn’t change what it is at its core.

            I’m not buying your slippery slope fallacy, but again, I’m glad you came around

              Came around to what? I’m saying this is the begining of another sanctions regime - actually it started with Trump’s tradewar bullshit. There’s a clear escalation that these wars follow.

              In every country they’re used, sanctions only ever get worse until the government collapses. Iraq, Iran, Cuba, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, DPRK, and now Russia. It’s almost always a one way street to worse and harsher sanctions until it sparks a civil war. China is next.

              Learn some fucking history.
