When China and India are not against Russia, it's already half of the humanity.

To be fair the vast majority of humanity couldn't give a toss about Ukraine and their European friends

Freedom fighter ? An Al Qaeda or "Muslim" Brotherhood criminal calls himself a freedom fighter ? And it no surprise that Western mainstream media will celebrate AQ and MB criminals.



Yes I will, thank you.

What a short memory these people have.

Wait whatever happened to social distancing? Did Covid take a vacation?

People are starting to believe that the Covid-19 thing was to prepare Humanity to stay at home for weeks and months and even work from home..because "someone" somehow might have seen a nuclear war approaching..

No, you're fine, I totally understood what you are saying.....

About your question. The N- Word (No, not that N word, I mean the nuclear weapon)

As you know, Russia has put its Nuclear Weapon in high alert (it was on my phone and people are going crazy over it) What I would see is US, UK and France will similarly put their Nuclear Force in high alert. Which effectively escalating the whole situation.

However, I also foresee an outside factor. China. First, you need to understand this, without Chinese support Russia war in Ukraine would be 10 times harder with sanction going on. Second, any purposed Nuclear Exchange in Europe or US will undoubtedly affect China. So would China willing to go that far for something they do not start? I doubt it. At this point, I am expecting Chinese to go against Russia nuclear threat because it done nothing on China as this is the few time I say China is probably innocent in all these. Yet any kind of nuclear move would undoubtedly drag China on a thermonuclear war.

I don't think China would want that, and China have the leash on Putin, because that was his last piggybank (I don't suppose Syria+Belarus+CAS region combine are close to as rich as China) So I think China would be the first to say no, you are going too far. I believe Threatening Nuclear Option will just make China withdraw their support. They already did not vote with Russia on the UNSC resolution (China voted Abstain instead of Veto) That show you they don't really buy into this war.

Not sure if you think what I said make sense

Welcome back J

China encouraged Putin's misadventure and now that Russian ego has been shattered the Chinese have a pliant sanctioned Russia at its mercy.

Actually it brews to the best craft beer in the world for China! It is true that China wouldn't officially support the Russian invasion because that would undermine China's long held public policies. However, if there is any consensus about this war, it is that China is the biggest beneficiary of this conflict. Tying down the West in Europe--away from the Pacific region--at the cost of some dead Russians is not a high price to pay. And Chinese foreign ministry has even more or less condoned Russia's invasion without, of course, officially blessing it. Also, the longheld 'strategic ambiguity' that Russia employed about relations with the West and China is gone now--Russia is, into the foreseeable future, becoming a very close partner for China and you can only thank the stupid warmongers in the West for that!
China only gains, gains, and gains from this conflict!! China doesn't have to fully support Russia. Support enough to have Russian objectives met. And I don't blame China for such a posture. And indirectly Pakistan too gains despite some members here naively talking about a few Ukrainian weapon system blocked for Pakistan.

I would disagree on this tying down the West in Europe.

Notice that NATO weren't at all engage in this. Despite what Putin Claim. NATO was never going to accept Ukraine, they rejected their membership plan outright in 2008, they reject to even consider the application in 2015. What NATO is doing here, and now is to have this to become a big enough issue. The eyes of NATO is on Sweden and Finland, the NATO want these two nation to join NATO, not Ukraine. And the situation in Ukraine is a good media to tell Finland and Sweden to drop any last doubt that Russia is going to play nice in the region.

Strategically and Tactically, NATO does not help out Ukraine that much, but NATO member amongst themselves are starting to wake up to the years of liberal-socialist dormitory. We already see a few NATO member dropped their usual stance on non-interference policy, Germany send arms to Ukraine for the first time since 1955. Estonia and Latvia shore up the border. And if Sweden and Finland did join NATO (Which is highly probable) That will bolster the Eastern Flank of NATO because both are regional Military Power. And that in turn will free up US and UK asset on NATO and you want to venture a guess where these freed up asset is going to deploy next? Asia Pacific. There are already AUKUS pact, in which both US and UK is developing Australia into a regional power, which along with Singapore and US/UK asset in South Pacific would basically increase the difficulty to host operation for China. That should be alarming to the Chinese.

What this war does to Russia is to have them completely controlled by China. And also expose the weakness of Russian Warfighting Capability. And what this conflict bring to China is an unnecessary conflict between two traditional allies. And probably bankrolling a war that China have nothing to do with. Now would that mean any Chinese Advantage? That's quite depends on what Russia give them in return (casual guess would be oil and gas) but I see this do more harm to China to get involved than good to them.

Yes of course it makes absolutely sense from logically perspective what you have written here. You are absolutely right in the next days we will see a clearer picture what way the Russian military and Regime will go.

But regarding the escalation, from watching and seeing and reading everything on Putin and his Russia, I don’t see anything logically or rationally, neither the performance and art of war of his military on the ground nor his decision for an invasion. In my opinion, this men has a higher potential for escalating the ladders for a limited nuclear exchange, if he looses his face through a revolution or mass protests in Russia or through more and heavily loses in this ongoing war.

Have good day, by the way I served in Bundeswehr, I participated last year in Territorial Force Battalion level exercise. This year it seems out of order because of the current situation.

In that case humanity need to unite to reveal the identities of the cultists and wipe out the order.
