      If they decide that they do it will raise the stakes for every election we have after which probably won’t be many more

          I don’t think we get much further than this. The world would explode into activity the moment America is showing weakness or a blind eye abroad. China, Russia, and Iran would make huge plays for Taiwan, Ukraine+, and Israel respectively. Rogue states like North Korea would take any viable action they could. Virtually every terrorist group would attack, spurred on by those same countries. You don’t let opportunities like that go to waste. It would be an extremely dangerous time to be living.
