China, like Russia, unlike the US, is guided by rational self-interest. They aren't going to adhere to some strict moral code in geopolitics that automatically takes the US side because Russia escalates to nukes. They're going to gauge the situation, including the risk for further escalation and how it could impact China. The overwhelming probability in that scenario is that China would make immediate diplomatic overtures to deescalate and intensify negotiations with Russia, then come away claiming a victory when they're able to pacify the crisis and establish even better relations with Russia in the aftermath. This would serve China's aim of avoiding geopolitical chaos and world war, but also serve their creeping geopolitical interests.

We can't sit around pretending that everyone is going to automatically take our side out of some grand moral outrage in every scenario. You're saying that now about "if Russia uses a nuke". Well, the same camp was saying it "if Russia actually invades". And they did invade. And India, China, Mexico, Israel, etc etc all rebuked the US's call to put Russia in complete isolation. A rational person would look at the difference between what they expected and what actually happened and rethink their strategy

Better said, half of the world doesn't support sanctions vs. Russia. That's the official bit which tells more than 1000 words. West!= world.

Let's be honest though, the vast majority of GDP supports sanctions against Russia. India, for instance, still hasn't figured out how to shit in a toilet. What matters is that the people with power are against Russia and we will bleed them dry. No one cares what a bunch of jungle people think.

What percent of the world's oil and grain and cold rolled steel supports sanctions? There's only so much money you can print to inflate numbers before its just toilet paper, and digitized currency won't help Indians poo in a loo

they might not see it as stupid but rather their only option at this point if they cannot get what they want via conventional means.



from what i understand (correct me now anyone) it will take months for this mobilistion to translate to a change in the current position. there is no sign of ukraine capitulating, in fact its the opposite, they are knuckling down and the west also shows no sign of relenting. ergo, what will russia do, if they cant achieve their goals via boots on the ground. On reflection, after editing this post to include other ppls posts - i would add - i dont disagree with you, one would have expected what you have outlined, partial, full, still not getting results ? tactical. lets wait and see what happens over the next 6 months.



there was nothing of note in that video! they were just plain spoken on their wish for the EU to rely on the US.



China would need to talk to America, not Russia, to deescalate. America wont let china be a middleman btw.



agree with that

Russia will run out of men LONG before our currencies become worthless. I always knew the Slavs were an inferior people but it's shocking how pathetic they are. I know that China is effectively going to annex everything east of the Urals once everything is said and done but I'm not sure what will happen to the "European" side of Russia. What's a reasonable partition?
