It's feels like Iran orchestrated the timing of this knowing that the world was tied up with the Russia/Ukraine war...I would not be surprised to see China soon take advantage of this in some way.

I hope you are wrong.

I'm usually not one for screaming "WORLD WAR III!" but like people have said multiple times in this threads, things have a June-July 1914 feel to them. If China throws their hat into the ring, I can then see the three separate conflicts merging into a world war, like how the European conflict merged with the Pacific/Jap-Sino conflict in World War II.

With weak leadership both here and in Europe on top of everything else going on, I can see China saying "well, why the hell not?"

I don't think the US or it's allies have the stomach for WW3...don't see it happening.

Where is China going to hit?

Hitting Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan all have issues due to location / logistics

From land routes, they could easily do Mongolia or a bunch of other nobody countries but invading India or Russia would cause them problems.
