   IMO this Venezuelan exploit will reinforce the CCP's opinion that   
   Donlad is volatile, ruthless and unpredictable.  Xi will treat him   
   with increased caution as one would a mad dog.  Ditto for Russia   
   and various Islamic factions.   
      
   That said, I think it's quite likely that the CCP will take over Taiwan   
   while Donlad rattles his sabre but fails to wield it.  Ditto for Putin   
   and the Ukraine.   
      
   I think it's quite likely that Donlad will take a pop at Iran though,   
   what with their race for nuclear weapons and all, especially now   
   that Iran is so unstable.
