This whole situation is wrong. China WILL back Russia hands down when it comes to it and so will iran!!
I disagree with your point here totally. There has never been, and will never be any love lost between China and Russia. The Chinese have a huge economic problem creeping up on them month by month. Are you saying that they would side side with the Russians in a global war against the US & Europe? They may (in the media) to some to be allied with Russia, but make no mistake about it, they would not trade buttered bread for a stale loaf. Siding with the rest of the planet against Russia would in fact be a huge power move for China, thrusting them further into a position of global ascendance & dependence.
I also think your point about Britain not being in a financial position for war works against the likes of Iran, but would totally moot when it comes to this particular situation. It is not just the US and GB involved here after all. All of Europe, most of the Middle East, parts of Africa and all of Asia would stand to lose a great deal by siding with Russia, with very limited upside potential.
This is not a unilateral effort at all. Putin will can puff out his bear fur all he likes, he broke the rules, and sent everyone scrambling for a minute. My guess is that if he continues he will destroy the Russian economy (and himself) for the next 20 years.

Exactly.
Ukraine to the Russians is like Kosovo is to the Serbs.
The Russians were humiliated in Kosovo, I should know, I was there and saw the frustration and resentment on their faces.
They won't be humiliated again mark my words.

The Chinese do not need the US to save its economy if the Yuan becomes the worlds reserve currency.

The Yuan will not be allowed to become the Worlds reserve currency, and that is what you do not understand. ~$heopleNation

Unless the US plans on tripling her population over the next decade, there won't be anything anybody can do about it.

Actually there is plenty that can be done about it. Your error is that you assume that it's the U.S all by itself.
If you believe that is the case, then you're not paying attention. ~$heopleNation

tbh it's either too late and getting #ed up is now almost guaranteed and imminent or we have time. Bundy has shown us the start, now is the time to act if its not too late in every country round the world.

yea good luck challenging the most tenacious and determined military to have ever existed. Not to mention technologically superior on so many fronts you couldn't count them with basic arithmetic. But lets go non conventional and guess what end of the world, I always knew we were gonna die this way. Im reasonable not stupid
