If there is no occupation of mainland soil it needn't turn nuclear. And it's not like the US or its regional allies have any interest in occupying PRC land.

I don't think that whether or not the US has an interest in occupation is a large factor in this risk. If the US attacked China, China would respond, guaranteed. That would lead to a full-on war. Unless the US backed down, a nuclear attack by one side or another doesn't seem unlikely enough.

Why wouldn’t they? Everyday life is terrible in those countries. Any change of trajectory is likely to be positive.

What’s more stunning to me is see Venezuelans praise and Iranians invite Trumpian intervention.

How do you know? Because you watch and listen to capitalist propaganda all day? And, on what do you compare? Do you compare it against poor people's lived experience in the U.S. that never get a second of media attention -- like the millions of unseen faces living under bridges in the U.S? Your narrow privileged view is disgusting, evil, and feeding the beast of empire. Shame on you.
