When Trump is elected Ukraine will fall within months. The US will stop support, and Europe cannot carry it alone.
I agree here because I have not seen a way to make it worth it to Trump to support Ukraine. Trump was talked into Javelins by telling him it will be good for business - the Military complex side. So he likes that.
Likely within a year, two at most, China will move on Taiwan because they will see that we are a helpless, pitiful giant who no longer wants to be involved in anything outside our own borders, even though the loss of Taiwan would send shockwaves through the tech industry in this country.
We have been gearing for that, but Ukraine has got some of the stockpiles low. I was heartened that the Philippines is letting us set up the northern islands so we can well cover Taiwan's back side. China's defense strategy is to fire so many missiles at ya that you can't get em all. Good strategy. I expect they will attempt that on Taiwan too.
Iran? Don’t make me laugh.
Well Trump will screw up, they'll make an A bomb and will be hands off. But we're still the Great Satan.
