Why do you think you're right?

The main powers with significant capabilities for anti-satellite operations against US and allies are Russia and China. Russia has thus avoided direct strikes against NATO, and provided no dramatic changes happen on the Ukraine front, will likely avoid such overt measures in the future as well.

China does not seem to be preparing for imminent military action and is likely not to start such motions during the next year. Hence, the value of anti-satellite strikes is diminished compared to the political cost.

Why might you be wrong?

Should China start rapid preparation for a Taiwan invasion, I could see anti-satellite strikes as a part of that process. Even then, it is unlikely that China is willing to destroy enough US spy satellites as to completely obscure their troop movements. Hence, they would not gain much with such overt aggression.

The current US president does also represent significantly increased variance in global politics. It is not impossible that due to Trump's actions relations with China rapidly cool to a point where direct military action of limited scope is on the table.

Why do you think you're right?

Quick last minute prediction: there is no indication of a deal being made, so no such thing will materialize in the next two days.

Files
Why might you be wrong?

Shadow negotiations and a surprising warming up of relationships.

Why do you think you're right?

Upping to probability to zero due to points maxing. Seems that no such maneuvers are being prepared.

Files
Why might you be wrong?

Trump has made global politics volatile, which might incur fast developments.

NVIDIA has already fallen to be the third most valuable company behind Apple and Microsoft and operates in a highly competitive market. It is unlikely that they return to the top and would continue to hold it, especially given that there are likely no great innovations on their product sector on the immediate horizon.
