That would be geopolitical suicide. Not even Trump is that stupid. Ukraine is going to be fine. Taiwan is going to be fine.

- onemoresoop 2y agoI don't think Ukraine will be fine as you say. Trump seems keen to empower Russia for doing more stupid moves like they did with the invasion of Ukraine and this is a pretty dumb move geopolitically for US, they will be seen as weak and finnicky.
- martythemaniak 2y ago> That would be geopolitical suicide Yeah, but's only true if you believe in the American-led world order and organizations like NATO. We know Trump either doesn't care or is actively hostile (he loves to threaten pull out of NATO and things like that). There should be no doubt that he'll pull all support for Ukraine on Day 1. Ukraine will survive because they're already fighting and will still have the support of Europe, though that won't be enough to win. Taiwan will be actively pressured to capitulate without a shot. It will be "fine" the way Hong Kong is "fine".
