You got ahead of me, I was going to say the same thing to
@ChineseTiger1986 Russia needs help now, no in years, if the evangelical neocons (God, I love that label) are able to break the Russians, then we are all in deep shit and the chinese can be sure that they are next in line.
I can't wait to see Putin smashing the fifth column.
To the Chinese members:
Whats going on with Russia is serious stuff and it has tremendous implications for China. The world hegemon was distracted for 10 years while busy playing fireworks in Iraq and Afghanistan, that's over now and they are turning to take care of the real threats, Russia and China. Russia first, if they make it there, you are next.
Don't underestimate what they are capable of doing and don't over estimate yourself. Right now, there is only one superpower and its USA and if the time comes for them to go after you, they are going to hit you with everything they got and they do have a lot. They are going to be super nasty. These people are crazy nuts and will not stop at anything in order to achieve their objectives.
Forget about Vietnam vs China, forget about the south china sea, Senkakus / Diayous or whatever, that's all peanuts. The real stakes are being played in Ukraine / Russia right now and that will decide the next steps. If Russia prevails, they are actually saving your arse by default. If they lose, you are next (and alone) and if you think they are going to wait 10 more years to let you gather strength, you better think again and keep the eye on the ball because these guys are not playing, they are dead serious and they are very clear about what they need to do and they know they have limited time.
No, I'm not panicking, being crazy or being delusional, I'm very clear about the big picture playing there; most people don't realize how serious the situation is and how high the stakes are.
