Odd statement, Afghanistan was a pseuo-state at the best of times, Taiwan is a nation with incredible air, naval and ground defenses for its size that doesn’t bleed America financially dry. Embarrassing photos of one of its ‘allies’ losing aside, America leaving Afghanistan makes America financially stronger and more militarily flexible.

Laughable. Under no circumstances will the US allow Taiwan's semiconductor industry to be absorbed by China.

Okay, assume it's true and an invasion is inevitable, this brings us back to the cliche question - would the people in power choose to destroy TSMC, instead of stopping the invasion?
