unless the US crosses a red line like putting missiles that can hit mainland in Taiwan.

I can't see why the US wouldn't attempt this as the situation gets more desperate as more of their efforts fall flat. All historic behavior indicates that the US is willing to gamble on escalating in the face of nuclear annihilation.

It's certainly possible, and that's the most concerning part about the whole thing. What it's going to come down to is whether the oligarchs would rather rule over a diminished empire or risk living out the rest of their lives like rats in a bunker.
