Do you really think that if we “take out” Russia that China will not invaise Siberia and take it? Do you really think that we could stop them? The Middle Kingdom will more than double in size and have unfettered access to natural resources an the West will be screwed.
What makes you think China’s military is any more effective than Russia? Some time ago I read that China hasn’t taken out Taiwan because they might fail and the CCCP had a much lighter grasp of control than most people think. I find that to be very credible. given the recent riots in China and no other explanation for why they haven’t invaded Taiwan in the past years that seems to hold. Just a few months ago it seemed the were girded for war but that seems to have changed in recent weeks. I don’t think they can invade Taiwan and not risk losing power and they know it.
