Not sure if that would really lead to (quaterly) economic growth though.

Regarding war and money, the question often isn't who's positioned to gain the most, instead who's positioned to lose the least. We often don't measure self against history and reason, instead relative our competitors.

Taiwan seems the obvious candidate.

The US has already manufactured consent to have a proxy war with China. I assume we've not done it in Taiwan because we'd lose more on trade than we'd gain consuming weapons, perhaps also because China could absorb the loss of Taiwan as a trade partner better than the US.

But where?

To be determined. We're ready and waiting for an opportunity to present itself.
