    In the short term, Russia will probably be pacified, because they got their guy in office. Long term that causes an escalation in the new Cold War going on. Ukraine is probably fucked - they probably can’t survive four years with diminished support.

    Tensions with China will escalate quickly, since Trump promised to enact absolutely bonkers tariffs.

    Palestine is probably fucked, since Trump seems to want Israel to escalate the conflict. Netanyahu seems quite pleased.

    I’m not as doom and gloom about the environment though - economics will continue to force renewable energy. As we all know, money has a whole lot more power than Trump ever will. He can slow it down, but economics always wins.

      The market can’t and wont fix climate change without government incentives. All other things, the market just eager for the brave president that’ll lift all these pesky regulations
