5 August 2022 - cause and trigger

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Let's distinguish the cause from the trigger. The cause of trouble around Taiwan is China's big mouth, hungry to eat. If the cause is strong and keeps talking louder, then it will find its own trigger, and an outside trigger like Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is irrelevant. It can even be good to trigger effects prematurely, to see the scope of the issue. So get on those triggers, everybody! Let's be trigger-happy!
