That outcome is not that unlikely under your scheme.
Maybe, I am wrong -- do you think that is an outlandish outcome?
Trump playing gunboat diplomacy is school-kid, hot head diplomacy -- he's not going to scare the Chinese and just end up with a plane forced down like Bush did in 2001. Then Trump will have to back down, humiliated. Or, Trump the Useless will start a shooting war we cannot win because his ego is bruised.
Never fight a war you cannot win. Warfare has been reduced to petty squabbles fought in weak countries for a good reason.

Oh ok.
We'll go decades more with China bleeding us dry, taking our jobs & dominance, NK threatening us on China's behalf and China restricting access to the South China Sea.
The Chinese are cowardly thieves and we're empowering them by taking no action, military or otherwise. Reagan fucked us with the Chinese (selling us out) and Russians (prolonging the cold war with needless wasted military buildup). We should have let the Chinese starve now they're like z bunch of rats trying to take over the planet with uncontrolled breeding.
