The US will lose in a fight against China over Taiwan. And after Ukraine and Gaza most of the world will not care about its sobbing, they will not believe the west's claims of standing for this or that and they will stand with China. All they will succeed in doing in instigating a conflict with China is bringing out into the open the new cold war.

It's not desirable. It's not optimal, it threatens chaos and all kinds of untold consequences but it is probably much more manageable now that it was before Gaza and Ukraine.
