All of the officers were involved in the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which independent reviews have blamed on both the Trump and Biden administrations.
Trump will start WWIII (put unacceptable sanctions on China, causing China to retaliate). And since war is so presidential, and really that would not be the time to change presidents, Democrats and Republicans decide its fine if he runs again.
I wasn't criticizing you or your joke or something, your joke was funny. Just wanted to highlight how funny it is that the only unrealistic part was China's response. The rest is sadly believable.
Thing is US is broke. China has a US sized population which they are signing deal after deal with in Indonesia. We're becoming irrelevant. Which is smart for China.
The US is in debt at the federal level, but it still represents one of the largest markets because of how much spending power is held by the middle class, relative to other nations. It’s on the decline but it still isn’t at the point where China can just shrug off the US.
The silliest point would be to die of old age and have Vance take over, now without limits. But the broader point would be setting the conditions for a future evolution of the program.
What would even be the point, the man is term limited by life
I used to think the funniest outcome would be that Trump wins 2024 and then dies before he takes office.
But this raises a new, even funnier idea: Trump wins 2028 and then dies before he starts his third term.

I think the most unrealistic part of this is that China retaliates with military force to sanctions. The rest is much more believable lol
Exactly. Pretty sure China's plan is either cooperate and build prosperity together, or...
I was just trying to mirror what Japan did in response to US provocations.
