    Take your bets now everyone, we’ve got:

    • “stupidly tries to deepen ties with the cyberpunk oligarchy of China”,

    • “stupidly try to deepen ties with the impotent Mafia state in Russia”,

    • “stupidly try to deepen ties with petro-dictatorships/monarchies in MENA”,

    • “immediately double back because they realized that reducing reliance on the US means having to actually uphold their NATO spending requirements at a minimum to replace the US subsidizing their national defenses”,

    and least likely of all,

    • “actually do anything even remotely productive towards genuinely achieving strategic autonomy as a democratic superpower in the world independent of the US’ trajectory.”
