Chips Are May Be More Important Than Oil We Stopped Hussein Due to Saudi--Time to Stop China Due to Taiwan Chips?

 

When Hussein invaded Kuwait and had his tanks poised to not stop
Chances he would invade the Saudi’s were rising and would not drop
With a huge amount of oil suddenly with Hussein now at risk
Bush knew he could not let that risk to continue to exist
He assembled a coalition led by the U.S. with Arab nations in the fold
That by air first pulverized and then with a flanking movement so bold
In a hundred hours brought the Iraqi invaders to their knees
Only stopped the war because our far too successful highway of death killing sprees
The world’s economy runs on energy mostly on fossil fuels
But on the technology front chips are the most vital tool
Taiwan produces 60% of the chips and 90% of the really valued advanced ones
Biden must somehow convince China it is too threatening to allow an invasion to be done
Biden must convince any nation that needs chips
Should be with us be sending troops, planes and ships
China will either soon invade
Or enforce a naval blockade
To break that grip
We need ships
And troops and weapons to slaughter the Chinese on the beach
But Biden is not a Bush and a credibility to resist he may not reach
