        Well yes but it’s a bit different if you have north Koreans Vs Ukrainians or a world war where Russia moves into Poland and China into Taiwan.

          It’s really only different for two reasons:

          1. That side already has access to nukes.
          2. Russian propaganda.

          France and the UK could absolutely dedicate expeditionary forces.

          Russia isn’t in any way a threat to expand their invasion. If they could simultaneously invade Poland they wouldn’t be struggling so hard to reclaim their own territory, let alone conquer Ukraine. China is the one powerful and expansive enough to worry about.
