    No wonder Russia is suspected of planning an attack on NATO. “Quick, look over there! Something else is happening other than our catastrophic fuckup you shouldn’t be seeing!”

      Gamblers always have to take a higher stake to clean the previous fuckup.

      Wouldn’t this result in a significant increase in Russian casualties each day along with pushing Europe into a war economy as well. Unless China are going to directly join them in Europe as well. Taiwan will get invaded but are China going to bother about Europe?

      Maybe that is the calculation China are going for. Russia lose heavily but distract Europe while they take Taiwan. After Russia will be comparably powerless and irrelevant to China as they have already served their purpose.

          Does Europe actually need US support against Russia? Probably means leaving Taiwan to China but if China are happy with that Russia can’t win against Europe.
