Hypothetical: if Putin were to bomb invade a Baltic nation now, in the Trump era

Tillerson, Mattis, McMaster, and Kushner would presumably unite to make sure we responded appropriately. With the assistance of The Triple Ms(Macron, Merkel, and May), we could easily count on all our allies, plus Ukraine. Within a week, we would see a massive amount of troops gathering in Poland, awaiting permission to enter the Baltic nations and Ukraine. The armed forces would outnumber Russia considerably. It would take a literal intervention by China to keep Russia from getting steamrolled, and that's not really likely. Even then, India, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, and the separatists in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong would eventually defeat China, even if Pakistan, Iran, Syria, and all the communist states in the area fall in line. Regardless, President Xi Jinping recognizes he is outmatched in a war. However, if Russia completely collapses, he would be surrounded by a powerful India, as well as Japan, Indonesia, Australia, and America's growing influence in East Asia. Therefore, the most likely scenario is that China, and maybe even India, would send massive funds to Putin. India and Russia are continuing to grow closer and closer, which has consistently scared China, but not as much as a pro-Western Russia and India would.
