Xi has delusions of grandeur, but I refuse to believe he's foolish enough to get directly involved in the Ukraine war.
Please help me!! Trust me, bro! I pay everything back when i have won >

I bet China will lend them a bunch of arms to get them tested in real life battle. The flow of arms won’t last forever though. >

I don’t think China can afford massive western sanctions at the moment >

They can but probably rather wait until they invade Taiwan >

China doesn’t invade, they simply discover new parts of their territory that they already owned >

Perhaps China will discover parts of Russia with Chinese ancestors and hydrocarbons.  Then they may forget about Taiwan. >

China’s path has been to exert influence using financial means - which they are quite effective at.   Getting into a shooting war is not in their interest.   Russia, otoh, is the quintessential bully and thinks using a gun is the way.   These interests aren’t aligned. >

Pretty sure the US is the quintessential bully >

You say that like any country is innocent. >

No I say that like one specific country has waged wars and assassinations and coups all over the world >

But somehow, it has managed to kill fewer people in the last half century than any other time in history while lifting more out of poverty due to trade stabilization. >

Yes we conquered the planet and crushed anyone with the will to meaningfully challenge us. Almost like something a bully would do.
