More importantly Russia has lost the respect and fear the world once had for its conventional military. China can’t help but look upon Russia’s Siberian treasure house and its rich far eastern Pacific lands in a whole new light.
China won’t invade a weakened Russia outright. Rather, China will wait for (and possibly secretly encourage) a civil war inside Russia and have themselves invited in by the side that still controls the nuclear weapons.
Who knows what shape China’s military is in? They do have the manpower advantage. Would they launch nukes at each other?
Russia has deployed about 15% of its professional forces and will still win against everything NATO can throw at them. They are going to win this war. 2,400 swastika-festooned AZOV “heroes” surrendered at Avostal this week. 15,000 of their best forces are about to be encircled within days in Sverodonetsk. They were equipped with unlimited western weapons and 8 years of NATO training. This debacle will be the end of NATO, the EU and the Petrodollar and you can blame it on the West’s feasting on its own propaganda.
Assuming the Chicoms are any better. That border scrap with Indian border troops shows they might not be.
Russia is winning the war and the Ukraine needs to negotiate to end it.
