Yeah, but where does this lead.
A) China joins Belarus and Russia and we inch ever so closer to two alliances clashing in World War 3
B) China declines and Putin’s desperation leads to further escalation

My understanding of the issue wasn't so much with the tires themselves, it was more so that the Russian Military left them unattended on parked vehicles to bake in sunlight for months-years on end against protocol.

Something tells me that this is not the fight China wants to pick.
They’ve probably re-assessed their own military since the Russian debacle and have uncovered their own shortcomings.
Agree with this. Taiwan is probably on hold, but I’d expect more island training in larger scales from China in the future using some of their man made islands.

It has nothing to do with trustworthiness other than verifying a well known name or person with large enough twitter following is the person linked to the account.

Attacking a Russian proxy state is effectively attacking Russia. He knows this though so I’m not giving him the benefit of the doubt of being stupid.
frick him.

A month ago... an endless stream of confrontational posturing and over-the-top empty threats.
Not so sure how they'd respond given the current global political climate. I hope we don't have to find out.

That’s an excellent question that I think has an evolving answer in light of current events. 3 weeks ago? Probably invade. Now? My best guess is some combination of economic action that’s significant to us and the other partners along with a significant increase in military posture and drilling in the region. Probably more formal and open establishment of military cooperation with Russia, though this is a finer line than before.

Gosh ya hate to see Vlad on his knees like this, not a good look. But maybe the Chinese have a weapon that will keep those mean farmers from hauling away all of Vlads tanks.

Interesting that Russia has shifted to actually honoring and allowing agreed upon humanitarian corridors to operate.
People get a little more queasy about committing war crimes when they realize they might be on the losing side of the war.

He was simply outmaneuvered by Washington in the lead up to the invasion. As he built up troops on the border, Biden went on the offensive, insisting that Russia was preparing to invade and start an aggressive shooting war. Putin had to deny it because there was no provocation. Then Biden accused Russia of planning a pretense, and Putin had to again deny. The PoliBoard Russians were mocking Biden. By the time Putin's army invaded, the west was already aligned and ready to respond if Washington's predictions came true, and they did.
For all of those with a hard-on to proclaim that America and Biden are weak and Russia/Putin is strong, this adventure shows the exact opposite. We do have adults in the room.
Russia is isolated and begging for help from Syria, Chechnya, Belarus, and China. China is coming to the realization that if it aligns with Russia, it will also get harmed. The US is not isolated or weakened. The balance of power has shifted more to the US and western Europe. Russia cannot trade with Europe, it's currency has no value, its stock market is closed, and the long-term damage is substantial. A military victory in Ukraine will only make Russia's long term prospects worse.

Easy answer: risk B. You do not want to bring China actively in this situation, especially since they’ll immediately start amassing forces in their SE border. The Chinese would agree with me BTW.

No. Xi would not tolerate that encroachment. It’s war if we do this.
