I have no ability to predict what will happen in the elections of 2028 and 2032. But that won't prevent me from making some predictions about global affairs involving billions of people, lol.

We are understandably focused on Ukraine and Europe right now. But I fear that, just like 1950 (the Korean War), we are taking our eyes off Asia. Sometime in the next 4-8 years, I fear:

- China will move to take over Taiwan. Trump has shown that the United States will not defend Taiwan.

- South Korea will start a nuclear weapons program. Since it can no longer rely on the United States.

- Japan will start a nuclear weapons program. For the same reason.

- China and Russia will push North Korea to invade South Korea before it becomes nuclear.

- The United States will support the South Koreans for a little bit, then throw them under the bus, just like the Ukrainians.

- A LOT of people are going to die.

- The world economy will crash.

Things will become a shit-show. And all because White people lost their minds when a half-Black person became president, and because egg prices were too high.

Apparently some black and many brown people in 2024 lost their minds too.

Project 2025, in the chapter on Dept of Defense, says that we are going to withdraw our troops from Europe, leaving only a skeleton crew behind, and telling them that we will only honor our NATO obligations to defend them from a nuclear attack by Russia, otherwise they’re on their own. It says that we will not defend Taiwan after we make sure their chip industry has been transferred to the mainland US. It says we are going to withdraw all our troops from South Korea and they will have to defend themselves from North Korea, they’re on their own. I don’t remember what it said about Japan, but I imagine the same.

So don’t pat yourself on the back for figuring this all out. It’s been available on the Project 2025 website since late 2023.
