a decent reply, however:
Taiwan: FWIW, the PRC has been rattling that sabre for over 75 years.
India: has nukes. China's not going to invade it.
South China: you have a point, but again, no talk of taking over 1 million sq of territory.

I agree that the tariffs aren't going away soon. The Republican caucus are too fearful of Trump, the Democrats, with their disunity, are unlikely to gain both houses in 2026, and unless they get a dark horse (such as Carter, Clinton, or Obama), we might have Vance or Trump Jr in 2028.
Trump unlikely has a plan.
Xi, for all of his faults (and there are many), doesn't go on about taking Greenland.
Perhaps, insofar that France and UK has a smaller nuclear arsenal than either US or Russia; though 3¼ years into the invasion of Ukraine (not counting 2014 to 2022), I doubt Russia has 25% of the country.
The invasion of Ukraine might have constituted/might constitute a very large mal-investment of Russian capital with possible significant effects on the Russian banking system—it's just a thought.
