Why do you think you're right?

Recent (13 October 2025) developments in the Middle East point to the possibility of this happening with one or more of the countries listed, however there is a great deal of residual uncertainty at this point.

Why might you be wrong?

I may be overly optimistic.  The potential deal to end the war in Gaza may fall through, and if the deal falls through it is hard to see any of the listed countries choosing to sign an agreement with Israel.

Why do you think you're right?

Updated to reflect the passage of time.  The employment rate has exceeded 70% since 2023, and is only forecasted to grow..

Files
Why might you be wrong?

Unexpected economic turmoil, perhaps due to shocks such as changes in tariff policy.

Why do you think you're right?

Invasion seems unlikely based on news reports that the target date for the PLA to have such a capability is 2027.  An attack seems unlikely unless it is a prelude to an invasion.  A blockade is a possibility, but it seems to be a remote one at this time.

Files
Why might you be wrong?

The stated target date of 2027 for a capability to invade Taiwan could be an exercise in deception.  Chine may choose to blockade, attack, or invade if the US is "distracted" by a contingency in the Middle East or Europe.

Why might you be wrong?

Surprises emanating out of the White House are common.  There could be an unanticipated shift in policy towards troop deployments in general, and in South Korea in particular.
