Personally, I think this is going to happen. I also think China is going to invade Taiwan. Both after the Olympics are over. Russia just has the advantage of setting up early to be ready to go after Feb. 20th. U.S. will stupidly get involved in one or the other and China, Iran, NK, and Russia will abandon those conflicts to turn on us as a team.
We need to just stay the fuck out of it. After watching this administration bumble a simple withdrawal in a shithole, I can't imagine how we'd fare in this scenario occurred? It's called the Department of Defense, not the Department of World Heroism. If we keep sending our young people to die in other countries for no good reason, how do we end up protecting our own nation? You think all this new illegals and Afghanis here are going to do it?
