Yeah, I've been observing the collapse intensely and it truly seems that no matter what the US tries to do nowadays it always practically ends up in failure like the Gordian knot (anything in terms of building back their own internal capability or narrowing distance with China). Just like in many similar end-stage collapses of empires in history.
At this point, to me, the most logical outcome is that they decide simply to give it one final go that they have yet not tried, and provoke China directly into a hot war around Taiwan in this presidency (quite easy to do actually, not very unrealistic scenario).
And it seems like they are moving toward that direction, just look at the stupidity the Taiwanese are doing, trading away their security guarantee, 2027 is the target date and you can see the immense pressure Taiwan is getting as the US try to harvest her tech before the fall.
