You know, we are focused on how the breakdown of our relationship with Europe, but the Asia relationships are also breaking down for all the reasons you say.
It's already the case that South Korea is starting to ration gas and other things with government vehicles, and they may put limits on people using it.
But it also, it ripples through all of their industries, not just the oil and gas, etc.

And their choice is, and this is what this former ambassador recommended to them, and it is the case, which is go nuclear, take full control of the South Korean military, which is currently jointly run by the United States and South Korea, and move closer to China.
If the United States is not going to be there for allies, people are going to have to make their accommodations.
Now, in the case of Japan, I don't think they can move closer to China.
I think the bitterness between them is too great.
And I don't think Japan wants to be part of the Chinese sphere of influence.
