I think this is likely. I could see the US starting a proxy somewhere in South America too but nothing feels particularly primed for it. Taiwan definitely seems like the next major bet.

If it's not Taiwan, it might be somewhere else that is regional specifically to keep China busy. India, something like that. The US values Taiwan extremely highly because of TSMC so they may decide that starting a war there is too risky.

Turns out that being the front of yet another US/Russian proxy war sucks, as it always does, and maybe you should have thought about that before happily volunteering your country for the job.

I'm sure the next country the US wants to proxy into oblivion will learn from Ukraine, right? anakin-padme-4

That's okay the free market will fix this by destroying society as we know it leading to the next great mass extinction of which humans will be a part of. It's not a big deal really.

Ah yes, why don't we just "pole the comments" about the meaning of any word we don't understand the definition of, and we can let the comment section right here be the sole arbiters of what a word means rather than let experts in the relevant field define what a word means. That's how language and research and science should work, via Lemmy comment section democracy.

Undoubtedly this is because the US approaches deproliferation with a "you first" mentality, and then once the other side starts, the US says "jk lol." The US can't be trusted to hold it's end of bargains like this so why would a serious country entertain talks with the US like this?
