Well in the case of the places Trump wants to invade Canada and Greenland a war would very likely be a short special military operation. The US can easily blockade both land, sea, and air, so they don't get any external supplies. After a short air campaign and ground invasion, the Canadian armed forces would have to retreat north outside the main population zones. They would run out of supplies pretty quickly. An ensuing guerilla war is possible, but unlikely to repel American forces any time soon.

The diplomatic fallout would be pretty bad though.

If you had ever read the Lancet you would know that not everything in there is peer reviewed.

The piece you probably mean was published under correspondence, meaning letters from readers, which is explicitly not peer reviewed as per the Lancet itself.

Correspondence - Our readers’ reflections on content published in the Lancet journals or on other topics of general interest to our readers. These letters may be published as exchanges with authors’ replies.

It's not a peer reviewed article.

Article - Peer reviewed reports of original research that are likely to change clinical practice, policy or substantially change thinking about a disease. These include interventional clinical trials, observational studies, modelling studies, and meta-analyses.

Trump like the military because he does like everything powerful and strong. I think he truly is opposed to long and costly wars. So far his actions track that pretty well.

Trump is looking for deals to enrich himself or become more famous and powerful.

I have also been to a few protests while employed. I have organized protests and got laid by activists while unemployed.

I didn’t bring up the Holocaust, especially not as a baseline. The situation is Gaza is horrible and needs to change. War crimes are likely happening and possibly crimes against humanity.

The situation not remotely equal to the Holocaust though.

The number of deaths per month in Gaza has been declining for over a year. Remember that gunmen with small arms managed to kill over 1000 people on one day October 7th in Israel. The IDF is heavily armed with advanced weaponry and could easily kill tens of thousands per day, if they wanted to.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is still bad, but has slowly been improving recently.

Domestically the Netanyahu government is under growing pressure to end the war. Also in Gaza the protests against Hamas continued fighting is growing. The plans for relocating Gaza‘s population have gotten no traction or progress. International pressure, negotiations, and diplomacy are busy as well.

All of this points to a better future, not an imminent Holocaust.

Equivalences to the Holocaust are at best nonfactual incitement, at worst antisemitic Holocaust denial.

The people of Gaza deserve a life in peace, liberty, and prosperity.

Horny bard

66 children died. During famines children are most endangered and always the vast majority of deaths.

I will give you a pro Palestinian biased source.

Chinese foreign policy regarding Russia is unlikely to change under a new leader. Supporting Russia‘s war by continued trade while publicly calling for a diplomatic solution is a very comfortable position. They weaken the West while making Russia more dependent on them. All of that while getting financial advantages from importing cheap energy from Russia and exporting goods.

The posturing regarding Taiwan could change in tone, but fundamentally China‘s goals and interests are unchanged.

Things are going pretty well for China on many levels.

UN Security Council resolutions have demanded Hamas release the hostages taken. This has been ignored by Hamas and thus provided Israel with a reason to continue the war.

Russia is hugely dependent on trade with China to continue the war effort. They have replaced western imports with Chinese goods, including parts for weapons. North Korea would not sell arms and send troops to Russia without Chinese approval either. China buys Russian oil and gas as well.

The Russian war effort is going well and looks like it will be sustainable for years while Chinese support continues.

Taiwan for Ukraine would actually be a trade worth considering for Europe. The major problem, besides values like freedom and democracy, international law, is the interruption of supply lines from Taiwan caused by a Chinese takeover.

Exactly. Let the company die. The factories, machines, workers, and knowledge still exist and should continue working under a new company with new leadership.

There have been misleading reports, including from Amnesty International.

Several reports and predictions about famine in Gaza turned out to be false. Tens of thousands were predicted a year ago. Only a few dozen died from starvation since.

Yes, he became a monk afterwards though.
