I wonder How fast MAGA will implodes in the mid terms if they start a trade war with China resulting in a rare metals export ban amid an energy crisis. Lend a hand to MAGA and they will see it as a sign of weakness. The “gesture” will be seen as a sign they can escalate more on Iran in order to extract more concessions from you and an Iranian unconditional surrender.
The only pathway forward is short term economic destruction in exchange for long term stability. If they achieve their goals then they will be embolden to screw around with the Taiwan redline or with Russia. Resulting in even more instability.
The situation for entire world is gonna get desperate though,
Airlines are already cancelling routes due to higher fuel prices, Fertlizer issues, higher diesal costs, Helium reserves running out.
And on top of that.
China is the largest supplier of this, other countries will start reducing exports of this.
