Clancy wrote about this 30 years ago. The Bear and The Dragon !
Early on in the battles, China was quoted as being supportive of Russia, and the theory was that the longer the war with Ukraine goes, the weaker the Russian military becomes, and the easier it might be in the near future for China to take what they want/need.
Clancy had a great novel based on this premise: “The Dragon and the Bear”. Great read.
That being said demographics are such that if China wanted to do it they have to go now else it won’t be happening. Currently Russia’s birth rate is higher (1.5) than China’s (1.2)and predicted to remain so into the 2070s.

“You called for every person in Russia to be wiped off the Earth forever.”
Or they could stop killing their neighbors and threatening nuclear war every day, that’d be nice too.
But if the only choices are to surrender them or blow them all to Hell then you’re darn skippy that the latter is the only one for me.
If you don’t like it then die angry. Myself, I prefer to die free of Russian rule.
Russians are taking over Wyoming?
You posit a false dichotomy to cover up your disgusting comments.

1000 pages. Don’t tell me it’d THAT good.
Not sure what China you are talking about but the one that currently exists does.
Funny how you have an encyclopedic knowledge of my posts coupled with an abysmal ignorance of the posts I respond to.
You’re very special.
I think there was one section about 1/3 of the way in that wasn’t as great, but outside of that it had me hooked - ran through it in 2 days.
*On the one hand, you tell us Russia will invade Alaska.*
RW Madman I never said that
“You’re very special.”
And you’re just vanilla.
“And you’re just vanilla.”
Thank you! I love vanilla! Vanilla wafers, vanilla ice cream, vanilla vodka...love it!
