One more thing: China keeps making noise about military intervention in Taiwan. Based on what we see today, what would be the economic consequences for that kind of adventurism? Who wants to hold the currency of a nation that is one jingoistic decision away from receiving the Russia treatment? That said, I do think the world's strong reaction to Russia - whether or not it ultimately makes a difference in Ukraine - has made the Taiwanese a lot safer. Unlike Putin, the CCP does seem to care about China's place in the world.

You failed to take note nukes gifted to Iran and Syria to tame USA in middle east. As for those economics sanctions, let just say it is very temporary. Putin can start by doing pollonium to say Gates and Buffet which has huge influence over Dems. For now, he will display total destruction of Ukraine first and let all of you see you can't do anything. In 2008 USA loss a lot of wealth. USA moves on. Real power comes from bullets and might. China has this. What she lacks is oil. And Putin now has her back. What Putin lacks is consumer factories which China has. Already USA has been shut off from China market. Over the past 2 decades I have seen China domestic gdp increasing similar to USA years ago. From what happen to Putin, I can see China definitely will use military to wrestle back Taiwan. The key point is tactically blocking USA from doing anything (e.g. Iran and Syria nukes). Really doubt USA able to do anything given the current leadership is Biden the senile creepy guy. 2nd in line is Kamala also doesn't inspire any leadership confidence at all. During Trump 4 years Putin is very subdue. Biden years, hmmm...
