When will they have enough plutonium, if they're only starting in 2028?

the government in taiwan ratified the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, so to develop the bomb, as I think you are alluding, would be a serious breach

I think we are well past the point where belief in a rules-based world order turns from optimism to delusion. Entrench yourself behind entire libraries of law books if you wish, it only makes for spectacular kindling.

To paraphrase Thucydides: the nuclear capable countries do what they want, and the non-nuclear countries suffer what they must.

This isn't ironclad as some people believe. There were multiple attacks on nuclear nations from non-nuclear in the last 2 years.
