Every major power that's tried to pull something with a small rival has gotten obliterated lately.
I feel like the odds of them trying something with Taiwan are actually far lower now.
Russia's GDP is the size of Italy's if that's the major power you're thinking of. Drones have held them back, fortunately.
China would be a whole different animal. Far more capability and resources. And our shortcomings in and around Iran and in the Middle East region in general have made our vulnerabilities more clear.
"The United States is increasingly ill-equipped to deter or defeat Chinese aggression in the Western Pacific, particularly a potential invasion or blockade of Taiwan. The U.S. military no longer possesses the requisite quantity of warfighting systems nor the industrial capacity to produce them at scale needed to counter the People’s Liberation Army’s burgeoning arsenal. To address this gap in the near term, the Department of Defense (DOD) and Congress must implement far-reaching reforms to enable the production, acquisition, and deployment of “precise mass” systems: an emerging class of military capabilities that includes drones, sensors, and enabling technologies. Precise mass systems can be manufactured cheaply, fielded rapidly, expended freely in combat, and sustained readily at scale in wartime."

That’s all your left wing friends. Probably 3 quarters of the chicks you fuck.
First time I've been accused of having a circle of left-wing friends who are fine with my years-long takes on leftist insanity. But I understand where you're coming from. It's a frustrating time for the right. Get it out. :)

"Today, 57% of Republicans ages 18 to 49 have an unfavorable opinion of Israel, up from 50% last year. Large majorities of Republicans 50 and older continue to view Israel positively."

Well, I guess we have to winnow out the chaff, I reckon.
