    It’s probably already cost Taiwan.

    (Unless they can do a deal with Ukraine and Japan to churn out a Gundam Drone Army)

        Taiwan’s fucked:

        Trump doesn’t give a flying fnord about their life.

        & once Trump’s dictatorship’s instantiated, he’s enforcing his “Greater North America” war on Canada, using Greenland to sever our EU-lifeline, WHILE…

        enforcing Civil War Part2: confederate-vengeance, WHILE

        enforcing imperial-expansion wars throughout the rest of the Americas.

        Asia’s abandoned.

        Europe?

        China will simply tell whomever’s running Russia: “you rampage on Europe all you can, & we’ll supplant you in gov’t & industry, in Russia, but you get to play tzar until you die” … and the ruler(s) of Russia/“Russia” will accept that, because they’re otherwise helpless/hobbled/powerless, & asserting-power’s an addiction.

        China gets the West grinded-down, without Chinese blood spilt, AND…

        China can then concentrate on grinding-down Asia.

        No help from the West.

        No help from anybody.

        Modi’s India, which bet the whole farm on Russia standing with them against China … has nothing, then.

        ClimatePunctuation’ll trash India while they’re trying to fight China ( which is probably part of why China won’t ditch coal, tbh ).

        EVERYthing in this world’s current-vectors is setting-up Regional Consolidation Time™.

        7-ish years of each region getting … not-diverse.

        ( I expect that whomever it is who ends-up owning the Middle-East, they will then set about owning Africa, and I don’t expect that to be Netanyahu or Iran. )
