Russia hasn't fully recovered from Afghanistan, as their shit military is showing now.While it may have been Chinas plan to build a great military alliance with Russia seeing the shit show that is currently Russia's military its unlikely the case now.China needs an equal partner,not a charity case they will have to fully support and carry.Russia is depending on Iran for military help, using civilian buses as military vehicles,emptying prisons for troops etc,who in the hell needs a military partner like that
We also lost a lot of weapons in Afghanistan Is it good for China for this war to continue...yes Both Russia and the USA are depleting its weapons
https://www.csis.org/analysis/united-states-running-out-weapons-send-ukraine Is the United States Running out of Weapons to Send to Ukraine? The United States has given Ukraine dozens of different munitions and weapon systems. In most instances, the amounts given to Ukraine are relatively small compared to U.S. inventories and production capabilities. However, some U.S. inventories are reaching the minimum levels needed for war plans and training. The key judgment for both munitions and weapons is how much risk the United States is willing to accept.
Maybe. I guess time will tell. Germany probably thought that too in WW2. They sure tried, didn't work out too well. And what secret deal has China struck with them? Do you know? Do you have a YouTube link for that too? Of course not. See Tony, your problem is your brain has been conditioned to see the world only through the eyes of the American culture we all enjoy. That's all well and good, but the rest of the world doesn't necessarily see things like that. Keep in mind that if history is any guide, the Russian people can endure immense hardships for quite a long time. Putin hearkens to that age, and like it or not, his people will have to also. Bottom line is, neither you, myself, nor anyone else blabbing down here in ET politics can predict the future regarding these matters. Hope for the best obviously, but to not at least consider other possibilities, is pure naivety on the part of any that don't. Don't fool yourself into thinking you understand the mind of Putin, and double that on Xi. Look at it this way... if that weren't the case, I doubt the December $SPX 2000 puts would be trading at $12/contract. Sooo... whatever... enough idle chit-chat with you for one day. Drive to Ohio and protest Trump when he shows up to save the day in Palestine. Buy him a few cases of paper-towels to toss out... get that mess cleaned up. Edit: Right. Color me snowflake. ...Not.
A Germany WW2 comparison,really Vanny? Who cares what secret deal has China struck with them.If China wants to deplete their resources or depend on a loser like Russia let them.
First, Russia is no real threat to the US. Second, we shouldn't be spending 800B on defense. We shouldn't be in all those places around the world. I remember when my liberal friends were the anti-war party. Now it seems roles are reversed for some reason. Just my opinion.
My eyes see Russia struggling and losing hundreds of thousands of troops and prisoners against a government The US Military would have overthrown in 30 days.
