So, never mind. Nothing will come of it.
Here’s James Fallows, who knows something about this particular issue:
A major determiner of when and whether Xi Jinping eventually thinks, “OK, today is the day it’s finally worth the risk of invading Taiwan,” is when and whether US cuts Ukraine loose.
Surely Marco R “knows” that. And that it would affect “life in America on a daily basis, and around the world.”
Yep. And it’s hard to see that Xi won’t be right to do it (along with every other would be dictator) with a Secretary of State pretty much announcing that the US is now a paper tiger who doesn’t care about the rest of the world except to the extent it will be required to pay Donald Trump some tariff tribute to pretend he isn’t crazy enough to do something stupid.
