Note that the direct benefits to the USA are

1. The USA prevents a larger war in which US troops may get wounded or killed.

2. By preventing this, the USA also saves money — $60 billion in surplus weaponry is far lower than if the US military was directly involved.

3. The US also saves markets that buy US products

4. This war is an eye-opener to Xi Jinping — he is not going to launch any military attack on Taiwan anytime in this decade. I expect he will shift to economic and diplomatic attacks.

5. This also sends a message to anyone trying to conquer territory == the message is “don’t”

6. the US alliance is strengthened — I live in Poland and recently visited Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany and the approval rating of the USA is going sky-high. The Poles always knew and now the Western Europeans realize again that the USA is indispensable.
