I think China is going to make a play for the Russian Far East. Taiwan is just a distraction to make Russia have a false sense of security such that Putin took 40% to 50% of his Siberian forces to play in Ukraine.

Russia is vulnerable.

I could see that happening too.

I think Putin started believing his own press as a tough guy but the Russian army ain’t the Soviet Red Army and appears to be no more than a paper tiger. The only he has is nukes and I doubt any of his command staff would follow a launch order.

That would be something to see. Wonder if Russia and China would use nukes?

"I think China is going to make a play for the Russian Far East."

Didn't someone write a book about that a few years back?

Said that China needed the natural resources there.

Now that’s an interesting possibility.
