FYI the current takeaway by Team China includes at least the following points, as far as I can understand the dialogues and ruminations(1-i) the war may be making Team Russia weaker (given territorial gains and security enhancement, arguably stronger) (1-ii) the war is (also) making NATO / EU / collective-west weaker, having to spend more for less, and keep doing so (1-iii) economic sanction regime is a b*tch, in that the earlier trade between Russia and erstwhile trade partners was not due to any kindness of heart largess by the collective-west, but everything to do economic efficiencies and comparative advantages. When such free trade breaks, the costs are shares by both sides of the trading equation. Basic mathematics. (1-iv) Should Russia 'lose', Russia shall win by doubling down (1-v) Should Russia 'win', the collective-west lose big, and shall keep losing (1-vi) Much of the world simply is not with the collective-west (2) Keen to see what the French and the Germans do, and never mind what they say (3) Map board might change quite a bit more than most reckon it would / could (4) As long as China is not dragged into the war, and China simply shall not engage with the war, planetary security more stable than not. Should China be actually be dragged into the war, whichever side China go all-in to support wins, full stop. (5) Somebodies are going to get hurt by the war, and whomever suffer so, not good. I do not know, am agnostic, but keen to watch & brief, wait & see, and recalibrate / re-align as waypoints hit. Need to keep watch all credible info sources. My impression is that: - Russian military is being deliberate and methodical and persistent - Ukraine is assuredly fighting back - EU is a mess - USA is being deliberately hobbling of Ukrainian fighting effort - UK is just being a lap dog In the meantime, Aussie MSM seems to reckonVIDEO Whereas the seemingly pro-russian casual hobbyist analyst figuresVIDEO ... and the seemingly pro-ukrainian casual hobbyist analyst notesVIDEO ... and the UK professional assessment is also interestingVIDEO ... then there is the up close and personal, but not hand to hand ... VIDEO Team America continues with the rug-pull and refusing to ship the sort of weapons that Ukraine asked for therefore presumably need, because USA seems to believe Ukraine can 'win' without attacking Russia and therefore does not need and should not be supplied w/ long range artillery
