Wow.
If China sees the West as weak against Putin, it will be emboldened.
That’s the assessment I’ve seen by foreign affairs experts.
Do share.
Hilarious nonsense from Trump
Trump tried a trade war with China before, China then stopped imports of soya beans and pork, with the result Trump had to subsidise farmers.
Trump is completely clueless

What the War in Ukraine Tells Us About Deterring China
Putin invaded because he thought the West would back down, so it’s vital to make sure Beijing knows it would pay a huge price for its aggression.

Max Hastings is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist.
Lots of posts and in practice all sorts of things could happen which ever one is elected. A probably wise pundit well known for picking the winner reckons wait for ~August for a clearer picture of a number of factors.
LOL Biden is campaigning on Tik Toc.
The external view of Biden's executive is that it has made a rather good job of running the place. His parties view of Him is that he can win again. One reason for this may be Trump bluster which hasn't really changed since he lost the last one. There is also a group that just wont vote for him under any circumstances which ever party they believe in.
A nice simple guide to Taiwan

China and Taiwan: A really simple guide
China claims self-governed Taiwan as part of its territory - but the island sees itself as distinct.

Don’t they have a bloodbath in the US nearly every week?
Subsidising farmers?, I've never heard of anything so outrageous, what a completely clueless thing to do, who but the completely clueless Trump could do such a thing?
Over to you Notchy?
Trump is a Trump supporter.
Huge price?.
Like Russia paid a huge price.
The only people who pay a huge price are those at the bottom in all countries.

The US is in a desperate economic state. They are not earning enough to pay their own bills.
It is not sustainable, according to anyone.
Nobody knows what's going to happen, but it's going to be bad, though "printing money" will last for a while.
If foreign countries (eg China) stop buying US debt, it looks like the US dollar and the world economic system collapses. (Hence Bitcoin, for whatever good it may do.)
Spending in Ukraine is definitely high enough to concern even the Democrats. Russia will take all of Ukraine.
The US people have bigger worries than Taiwan - it doesn't matter much. They make chips which currently can't be made elsewhere but everyone (including Eire) is building new fab plants. Except the UK.
If Taiwan resists China, they'll get blown up.
Russia is doing rather well, despite the isolations from the world economies. Their Oil still flows and the west just buys it a different way. They're fairly self-sufficient, even if at a crappy level which starves some of the population. Putin has far more control of his country than the US gov does of the US, so no civil war.
Trump just makes the US situation a bit more unpredictable.
Wherever I look, I see global tipping points. It's just a matter of which one goes first.
Wars, food, water, warming, disease, people like me earning from a laptop and not needing to work, and then telling everyone else how, so nothing gets done.
Learn Russian, Mandarin and how to grow veg under a cloud. Then you might be ok, until there's massive destruction. I give the world 10% chance of getting to 2100 without that damage. I wouldn't be surprised if it's within 20 years.
