China will take casualties that will be unacceptable to Chinas upper class.

No, that's not how China works at all. They think of nothing of ordering 200,000 foot soldiers to attack in suicide waves. China only values their one billion poor people for their guaranteed socialist votes.

Point is I thought the Ukraine had a much bigger chunk out of the huge mass of Russia. Still looks like a pocket on the big shirt of Russia.

No offense, but you may be right without the poster you are trying to contradict being wrong. The Chinese upper (upper) class (i.e. people only one to three classes removed from the actual oligarchs) may not be as wokeified as our upper-middle class.

The casualities are mostly borne by lower classes.

“Are you a Russian bot?”

No I understand geo politics and stay informed as to who’s who in the zoo. Sadly most people in the US including I guess you are so mind farmed by the MSM and the belligerent force that currently occupies Wash DC you haven’t got a clue about what’s really going on in the Ukraine and elsewhere. I’m fed exing you a red pill. 😆

You're cheering on President-for-life Putin's destruction of a democratic neighbor. No pill can help you.

That actually isnt what the agreement said.

We never promised to defend ukraine. We promised to urge the UN security council to intervene (and even then i THINK only if it involved nukes.
IIRC.

Unfortunately, the timing of this war wasn't difficult to predict.
