Indifferent on Taiwan: Still important to us until we can make our own superconductors, once we don't need them, we cut 'em off. Allows us to "talk tough" about China while we give them what they want.
Against Ukraine/NATO: Feeds into storyline of Christian Russia/Hungary vs. Secular Europe. Gives Putin a green light to push further and weaken E.U.
