0:00.0 | China invading Taiwan would literally change everything about the existing world order |
0:06.0 | that most of us have grown up with since World War II and arguably even before. |
0:11.0 | It is the sort of thing that would happen where I can guarantee you |
0:16.0 | if you have children of military age, they would potentially be affected by this. |
0:22.5 | Like this is something that would be so significant, not just because Taiwan is both a major |
0:27.5 | U.S. training partner and China is a major U.S. training partner. |
0:31.0 | But if you look at the whole region, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, everything in that |

1:03.8 | there wouldn't need to be quite as much U.S. involvement as a lot of people anticipate. |
1:07.9 | Christian and I disagree on this. And so I'm going to show him why he's completely |
1:11.5 | wrong and why I'm right, as usual. All of this and more coming up on this episode of Making the |
1:16.4 | Argument. Thank you so much for joining us on this episode. As I asked last time, we asked for your |
1:21.1 | help to help us get to 1,000 subscribers on the Making the Argument channel by May 1st. We are halfway |
1:26.5 | to that goal. And if you haven't already, go to the link in the description of this episode on this |
