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(tm).

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. )
