It won't be a war. China will set it up as a mutual economic zone. Putin will have weakened Russia so much by then that Russia will have to agree.

Eastern Russia is wasted on the Russians who are feckless and operating as they were under the Romanovs over 100 years ago. It is a feudal, sparsely populated area adjacent to Chinese northern provinces wherin vodka and thuggery is the currency as opposed to a thriving large Chinese population in what used be Manchuria.
- Continue to threaten Taiwan and develop weapons and alliances in the South China Sea and Pacific to keep the US distracted.
- Allow Putin to become exhausted and Russia to be neutralised by NATO and the US.
- Invade Siberia and Russian East across the Amur river and annex Siberia and the Kurils with Sakhalin Oblast.
There is bad history going back over a thousand years between China and Russia, and China has a huge population who could exploit the riches of Eastern Russia better than has been the case under Czarist or USSR control.
You heard it here first.

So EU/NATO alliance (with Turkey granting the "green light" for both Finland & Sweden to join NATO) now essentially have a close proximity "stranglehold military circle" around Russia - my guess is that Putin going to step up/activate "nuclear threat in the region" imo
Putin is a KGB thug, and a survivor. He has children, probably the only reason he wouldn't use even "limited" nukes.Yes, he's said he'd do something like that or move some launchers to Kaliningrad. This is a risky game of chicken.
Furthermore, just to spice thing's up/increase the tension - NATO sending 300,000 troops into Eastern EU NATO block countries as wellYes, he's said he'd do something like that or move some launchers to Kaliningrad. This is a risky game of chicken.
Sorry GG I respectfully disagree with you re: Putin will back downPutin is a KGB thug, and a survivor. He has children, probably the only reason he wouldn't use even "limited" nukes.
The Western leaders and China realise this.
He will back down.

He has run out of bully rhetoric.Sorry GG I respectfully disagree with you re: Putin will back down
No chance of this ever happening as it would spell/signify the end of Russia - Putin ain't going down without a huge fight/war imo

let's put in terms you might understand. A bully in the playground takes your cricket bat, so other kids gather around and help you get it back.So EU/NATO alliance (with Turkey granting the "green light" for both Finland & Sweden to join NATO) now essentially have a close proximity "stranglehold military circle" around Russia - my guess is that Putin going to step up/activate "nuclear threat in the region" imo

Have you ever stopped to consider that most of the world's population would have reason to consider the West as the world's bully.
That may come as a shock to you as it would take a moment of self reflection.
Most of the world's population?.... The ones in trucks on the Mexico/ US border, those in boats crossing the Med, the 200K that went out of Russia in the week after 24 Feb. Don't notice much flow the other way. Maybe Snowden is a hero, or Assange?Have you ever stopped to consider that most of the world's population would have reason to consider the West as the world's bully.
ah the self hating from the youtube education generation. If the west is so bad why are you still here? plenty of 3rd world heavens waiting with open arms and offering a better life
