    Until this situation, I would have been with you, but I think China might have realized that if they play their cards right there’s a world where they just control Russia some day. If things get especially rough, I think China might play neutral.

      Picking a side might benefit them but China doesn’t have to do anything here to come out on top.

        China just has to sit back and watch us all blow each other to bits at this point.

        If and when the time comes to pick up the pieces, China will be there. Oh? All you wartorn nations need new houses? Food? Energy? China is here to help. We don’t want much in return.

        China will own us if they wait long enough.

      That might be what they end up doing but it’s hiding what they really wanna do. They want Taiwan and all SE Asia in the short term and much more in the long so if they play nice w Europe it’s still a show
