So it's clear that you misunderstood the context of the question.
Yes, the people who do this for a living have to have contingency plans for any possible situation. That doesn't mean that those situations are probable, or that the US should be actively starting wars based on something that may be a possible threat at some point in the future based on things that haven't happened.
That was mainly because of that idiot McCarthy got people like Christian missionaries who went to China fired, they worked in the US government, and could have provided a more sober analysis that Vietnam had been invaded by China before, Ho Chi Minh loved America, and thanks to French arrogance in its colonies.

Trump didn't do this; he pulled the trigger, but much of the pushing, planning, etc, was done by Marco Rubio, and the DOD, the same DOD I referenced. Also, it is probable that China will invade Taiwan and will pull every trick out of its hat to achieve massive success.

I want the US to stop bombing people. Democrats want to make sure Trump gets permission before The US bombs people.
And I want the world to be a type 1 civilization before my generation dies; it's not going to happen anytime soon.
Marco Rubio isn't exactly an unbiased source and has a vested interest in attacking Venezuela because he wants to topple the Cuban government, and thinks that Venezuela is the first step to doing that. That has nothing to do with Venezuela being a threat to the US.Trump didn't do this; he pulled the trigger, but much of the pushing, planning, etc, was done by Marco Rubio, and the DOD, the same DOD I referenced. Also, it is probable that China will invade Taiwan and will pull every trick out of its hat to achieve massive success.

His donors do want to protect Taiwan; without those chips, his tech company donors are screwed. Will Trump pick his base or his donors, just like Iran, Israel, and even Ukraine? He will pick his donors.
Ok but doesn't this situation just create more bombings if Trump is the only one who's approval is needed?
Trump is an 80 year old tech illiterate man. If China tells him that once they take over Taiwan they'll keep making chips and selling them to the US and give the US a "good deal" he will believe them.
Okay, what about the defense contractors? What about the fact that China will eventually leverage those chips to blackmail the US, which even Tim Cook was forced to move his iPhone facilities from China to India due to civil-military fusion of US companies, and the US government? Also, tech oligarchs generally are pro-US power as well, and have staff who understand how Taiwan being in Chinese control could affect them, and many are secretly anti-China, given how many don't want Chinese-American executives, aka the bamboo ceiling. Not everyone is Ray Dalio.
Sure, they want to take Taiwan, they've wanted to take it since 1949, but if it will trigger massive retaliation, then they won't. Should they be certain that the US (et al) won't defend Taiwan, you do not want to be in Taiwan at that time. Until then, Taiwan is relatively safe.When dictators spam, I want to do X over and over again. I would listen to them.

The tech oligarchs are talking out of both sides of their mouths and are fighting hard to sell their technology to China even while they complain about China's tech dominance.
I doubt that China will invade Taiwan. The orange bastard has strengthened China's position in global trade and the real gem of Taiwan, their semiconductor plants are too easy to sabotage or just air strike.
Even if they struck the oil refineries, that's not some decisive ending blow. It's not good, it's not nothing, but it's not a winning move. And there's no way to capitalize on that sort of opening move, so it's just fodder for speculation, not a serious concern.Did any of you guys watch the Ryan McBeth video?
Long story short, the Panama Canal is within range of bomber strikes from Venezuela, and IRBMs in Venezuela are within range of those Texas refineries. Do any of you guys know how geopolitics works? The status quo is not constant; the world is ever-changing.
Not to mention the drones.

...am I somehow not getting my point across?
Not sure if they want to bomb Venezuela, but yeah, the idea that the US shouldn't go round bombing place for no good reason isn't something they are going to argue, because the concept of not being able to bomb places for no reason is alien to them.
I am thinking it through perfectly fine. I want an actual opposition party. Not a party who's idea of opposing Trump is complaining that Trump didn't get their permission before sending us to yet another pointless war.
The US has denied adequate infrastructure, healthcare, investment and political representation to Puerto Rico for >120 years, and their population is about 6x that of Greenland.
