There is a lesson in Ukraine and Iran being that invading a prepared country isn't easy and takes full commitment. Taiwan is most likely very prepared to defend itself.

		It might be prepared, but opportunity like that doesn’t present itself very often. Both US and Russia are tied in huge wars and won’t have spare capacity to answer Chinese aggression.

		One thing to note, is that Ukraine has received billions of dollars of aid from EU and United States. I'm not sure if the West has that kind of cash to dish out after the current war with IRAN.

At some point someone will stop joking that Trump is a "Russian asset" and start assuming that he's paid by Xi to ensure a millenia of Chinese domination.

Which would be wrong of course : he's ensuring millenia of Chinese domination, and he's getting paid for it, just not by China.

2028 is going to be... Weird. But it will be Rubio or Vance of Heghseig's problem.

I've never heard anyone joke about it. It's an obvious fact of the world we live in.

		Colbert spent months riffing on the "pee-pee-tape". Which, as far as I know, has never been substantiated. So, of course, maybe Moscow has something about Trump. Or maybe Trump is just playing everyone, including himself.

It is, OP is repeating anti China talking points of the Mainstream Media, pretending that China is a legitimate future military target of the US.

		The fact of the matter is that OP's statement is so vague it could be interpreted any way. You are just projecting your own interpretation onto it. Without knowing anything else about what OP intended to say, one should make a good-faith read of it. I just read it as "war is escalating across the globe". To somehow assume that what he meant is that one country is bad and the other good is a childish way to understand geopolitics and bad-faith interpretation of the statement.

		That wording is inflamatory. You meant China and the US might enter in military conflict in a not too distant future. The point of parent is that the US is not considering an intervention in the conflict agaisnt Taiwan. It is doing nothing for Ukraine, either.
