00:00What would happen if United States and Taiwan swapped places?
00:03With two of them swapping places, China would be absolutely furious,
00:07since Taiwan would now be much stronger and would be able to stand up against them.
00:10On the other hand, United States would be very close to them,
00:13but since they would too be unhappy with this situation,
00:16China would try to take advantage of that.
00:18U.S. would demand that Taiwan gives them back their territory,
00:21but they would decline, not wanting to be weak anymore.
00:23This would really enrage the U.S., who would attack them.
00:26However, they would now be no match for the Taiwanese,
00:28who would demolish them.
00:30Out of nowhere, China would come in, asking for an alliance so they can beat Taiwan together.
00:34United States would accept, and along with China, they would attack Taiwan.
00:38Even though they would attack them together, Taiwan would still be too strong and would hold on.
00:43However, since both Mexico and Canada wouldn't like their new neighbor,
00:46they would join this war.
00:47With all of them fighting together, they would be able to crush the Taiwanese army,
00:51bringing peace to the world once again.
