Why do you think you're right?

I think the timeline for this is just too short. I didn't see anything about companies already seeking approval and typical approval for a de novo review is apparently 9-18 months.

Why might you be wrong?

Obviously lots of interest and momentum behind LLM's broadly.

Matching the crowd. Not looking likely.

Why do you think you're right?

I can see there being impetus for this given the increased American isolationism (maybe? who knows? seems to change on a whim). But the timeline is relatively short to work out a serious pact and there are so many historical rivalries within the region.

Files
Why might you be wrong?

A shared sense of vulnerability could drive countries to make it happen. Also, maybe something gets formed as part of the end of the war in Gaza?

The timeline here is reasonably long, but I'm still starting out pretty low. This seems like it'd be a pretty major provocation and is likely only attainable by major powers. Lots of incentives to not do this - NATO Article 5, creating cascading problems with space junk, etc.

The two most likely scenarios that come to mind are around Taiwan or Starlink/Ukraine.

Files
Why might you be wrong?

Probably a scenario or pair of countries that I'm not immediately thinking about.
