Ukraine will be much easier for Russia than Taiwan for China. Roll tanks across the border and the rout is on.
That’s definitely true. If and when China invades Taiwan, it’s going to make the Fall of Afghanistan look like nothing, especially since we’ll see it all too. The Taiwanese are the most tech savvy people in the world and China isn’t going to blow up their infrastructure or technology on mass since that’s what they’re after.

Amphibious assault is a tricky business. Landing craft have to be deployed and are subject to bombing and strafing. Landing on a beach and running into gunfire and artillery is no picnic. Can China do this? Have they ever?
The People’s Republic of China hasn’t, but the Chinese people have been going back and forth with Taiwan for centuries and managed to reconquer it several times.

Taiwan is armed to the teeth. China will have it's troops butchered, but won't care.
You know what makes it really sick: this is a perk for Xi Jinping. He’s got a disproportionately male population he’s got to deal with, so what better than to make them cannon fodder?

Will we need to be wearing masks when they attack?

IMO Putin is doing it less for economic reasons but for popularity, he's doing a wag the dog.

Exactly, if the line isn't drawn now, it will be drawn a lot closer to the USA a little bit later and we will regret not acting now.

Tell us how this is Trump's fault.

It will be fine, since a bunch of these countries are going to be carbon neutral in 10 years

China, Russia and Joe are all on the same team.
Russia won’t attack Uknraine. It doesn’t need to.
This is some twisted gang initiation and why it’s a problem that Joe owes Vlad and Pooh Bear for putting Dr. Jill’s monogram on the guest towels in the White House.

And then they’ll send American boys off to die, while they complete the socialist takeover back home.

They’re going to make it your fricking business when they take over the world chip supply. You think the supply chain and prices are bad now, wait until China invades Taiwan.
Things will get really bad. China will not lose in a war with Taiwan, and a smart Taiwanese leader would have made sure there were lots and lots of C4 incorporated into any new semiconductor plants when they were built to be able to limit any gain in case of a war loss. Actually, it does not even need to be C4 - certain chemicals in the right places would probably destroy the ability to process the semiconductors with the equipment, or even in the building. If the world loses even one of the cutting-edge plants, it will have an effect for many years.

I genuinely believe that it is incalculably more likely that neither Russia nor China do anything in the short term than it is that both events happen at the same time.
Neither country wants a war. Blustering is part of both nations' foreign policy and has been for some time--they are bullies, and they are masterful at manipulating a Western media that is more devoted to sowing internal discord for clicks than accurately depicting geopolitical events. Both of their economies are just as fragile as ours at the moment, and neither country is where they want to be from a military modernization standpoint (yet).
Russia in particular cannot run the risk of the situation in Ukraine ballooning on them to include NATO. Russia cannot beat NATO in a protracted engagement.
China has the distance factor to their advantage, however they are not capable of easily taking Taiwan at the moment either. They have zero ability to get an amphibious fleet across the strait without massive losses.
Any "alliance" between the two will flame out spectacularly at some point. Their interests in the Far East, Arctic, and Central Asia are totally opposed to one another.

I assume the Dems would blame this on Trump? They always screamed that he would get us into WW3, guess they’ll claim he put it on layaway.

Maybe you'll get lucky and another black dude will run over a bunch of white kids and you will have something to crack jokes about. That should help keep your mind off Russia and China
