Why doesn’t Russia declare war on the US after all the Military Aid being sent to Ukraine?

    China might just seize the opportunity to take Taiwan while US is distracted.

      They might try but:

      The US pacific fleet will still be there.

      It takes months of prep to attempt to cross the Sth China Sea and they cannot hide the buildup. There are only about 2 or 3 months of the year when it is even possible.

      Taiwan has almost perfect defensive geography. There are only two possible landing sites and Taiwan has been preparing them as killing zones for the past 70 years.

      Honestly, Russia’s progress in the past two years would look like a stunning success in comparison.
