    Taiwan’s foreign minister said last week that the US and Taiwan
    are in talks on the possibility of the island being brought under Washington’s nuclear umbrella, a step that would make a catastrophic
    war between the US and China much more likely.

    Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu made the comments before
    Taiwan’s parliament, the Legislative Yuan. Wu declined to detail
    the talks when pressed if Taiwan had asked the US to bring the
    island into its nuclear umbrella.

    . . .

    Likely the "talks" are just the publicity end - the
    deal's probably done already.

    Or maybe it's all an illusion for someone's benefit -
    but is it Biden's or Xi's ?

    Also, is this "deterrence" - or a way to speed-up
    the invasion, just in time for US elections ?

    Politics is forever murky
