Surely we'll be moving a lot closer to, basically, WW3 if NK go in, then the Americans will want to go in, then we'll go in, then China might have a pop at Taiwan...
What a ****** up world.
I expect if any troops go in to assist Ukraine it would likely be from other nations nearby, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia etc. I don't think US would put boots on the ground as a first response, but they could certainly step up military kit supply.
If China are supplying better tanks I could also see Ukraine getting some better tanks as well.
Yep agree
I mean its no surprise that other pariah states such as NK and Iran would be willing to support/work with Russia, they basically see the US as the enemy and the US is supporting Ukraine.
China is interesting, as you say I don't see them aligning with Russia as such, but using the current global instability as another time to flex a bit.
Sell some arms to Russia, well its hard to see what the rest of the world is going to do/say.
I think the West is safe for now in regards alignment and hopefully its all over before there is a chance of Trump getting in again. Trump getting in would add a significant wildcard at that point. Who would want to predict if he would take a call from Vlad first and then say US not supporting, or start talking again about his using the US nukes fixation.
Last thing we need is another crazy in a significant position.
I suppose I'm still hoping this all gets solved amicably but it seems less likely by the day, the war has been going on for only 6 months so far, and occupied territory is slowly changing hands but things seem to have stalled on most fronts.
