@elston_ Is it a surprise to anyone that china wants europe and the US bound up in pointless wars? The more the US and europe fight, and the longer, the easier it will be for china to take over the rest of the world. As a bonus, their great authoritarian rival russia, is slowly being ground to dust.
It would be hilarious, after russia loses the war in ukraine, if china moved in and took over some russian border territories.
That would be the end of russia as we know it.
