they'll just pull some shit in Taiwan like landing a ton of Patriot systems and a nuke, forcing China to start a war to respond. Then they'll rope the EU into their sanctions game. They already complain about the "over production" of EV vehicles and Solar Panels.
i figure they are already doing that tbh.
china would quietly sanction them and everyone will wonder why the fuck is the us economy on free fall.
The EU is already sanctioning Chinese solar panels and EVs I believe, they say it's to protect their own renewable sectors but in actuality it's more about keeping the price of renewable energy high so that oil can be competitive at higher prices.
I don't think the US is already doing moves that overt with Taiwan, instead it's more like sending a senator there in a publicity stunt. Nukes are another level of escalation beyond anything we've seen, but I don't put it past the US. They already are getting them in Japan. They hilariously had a nuke in Japan in a cargo container submerged off the coast of a small unpopulated island, it was there for like a decade I believe. A nuclear weapon just sitting there unattended for years.
as you said the eu has no energy, so it's only a matter of time with the sanctions game. they are already quietly opening up to russian energy again. i think it's a matter of how they worm their way around us influence, like any of the us vassals.
as for taiwan, the us recently sent literal billions in weapons and some taiwanese politicians are already openly talking about not turning into an ukraine situation with those, which means there might be significant popular support for that idea. they are constantly provoking. not to mention the "military exercises" they like to do in the region.
i'm not optimistic about their nukes at all, however with nuclear weapons we sadly don't have the power of hindsight, but we can see what they do out of desperation in the new war on iran. really brings out the existential dread, so we get the real feeling of a cold war.
in a way, some of the things you predict will happen in the future are already happening now.
