I'll go a few steps further. Whatever happens in the US, Europe is now heading to be a more united Europe, completely united as a federal collection of States. Europe will become effectively a super power with little reliance on the US militarily and financially. Europe has very little choice with Putin and Trump. This is if Europe can get its act together better and stave off their rifts such as Hungary and general foot dragging out of fear of Putin.

Meanwhile the US will most likely be left in a weakened position through isolation and huge internal divisions that are being caused by Trump and the Republicans. China's push for soft power is also weakening the US.

There's a lot of talk of Ukraine, Middle East and Taiwan developing into full war but I think the fourth conflict will be a civil one in the US if Trump gets to the Whitehouse. I hope I'm wrong.

The maximum bad would be Europe uniting to handle Ukraine and russia, the US not being involved, Europe pulling back on US military bases and trump agreeing in anger. This would greatly weaken the US in the next 100 years, and if and when China goes after Taiwan at some point after, the US may find itself leading “a collation of the few” while Europe sits that one out.
