      Why do you think Russia has been saber-rattling so hard? They’re feeding the right-wing propaganda machine.

      The worry is China and to a lesser extent NK join the fight. I don’t think it’s unfounded but I don’t see it becoming the problem Fox News fear-mongering makes it out to be.

        I like to think that despite their technological edge and their production capabilities, China knows it would be a losing fight. Only reason Russia is risking it is sunk cost fallacy and possibly Putin Dementia.

        China does not actually give a shit about Russia’s problems, and they are probably not too happy about their campaign of global chaos either. Russia is useful political leverage, and if China just sits tight and lets things play out there’s a good chance Russia ends up as a subordinate client state before the decade is out. It’s doubtful they would put boots on the ground for a goal that does not align with their long term interests.
