Would a Pence presidency be worse than a Trump presidency?

That would be the result of impeachment.

And once the survivors are all starving and freezing to death, it won't really matter.

So I am curious about who you have in mind. And please do not say North Korea, because they cannot touch us. China is closest, and they need about another 20 years.

All of the usual, including actors that are not providing Trump business support, including current allied countries such as France, Great Britain NATO etc.. For now the Russian Federation seems to be safe. If you provided Trump a loan you and your country may be at risk.

France and GB had me thinking for a minute, a short minute. If you are just going to make stuff up, why not say Latvia or the Martians. I thought that it was a serious discussion.

And to be serious, China needs a bigger navy and they can be a possible contender in about 20 years. Otherwise, it is the Russians, always has been.
