      China will probably be the biggest winner of the conflict

          that's what the conventional wisdom is. there are already rumors that the paccom ghouls pushing for a china war are looking to put even more aggressive psychos in charge of paccom so they can speed up their plans

      Lol Russia is fucked if this is true. No one wants to trade in RMB, not even Chinese companies, but if this happens, then the Chinese have the Russians by the balls. The Chinese government is no friends to Russia, just have mutual enemies. They are gonna make profits off Russia and get cheap source off natural resources.

          Ya no shit, who else would they depend on. No idea who's idiotic idea it was to invade Ukraine, should have just sent troops into Eastern Ukraine and called it a day.

            Who else would they have depended on indeed. I don’t know if this was a stupid idea. Definitely caught me and many other leftists by surprise. If Putin not just gets Ukraine but also permanently ends NATO expansion through this then it wasn’t a bad idea. Idk time will tell

        Chinese foreign policy is the complete opposite to the US. In short the only 2 reasons the USD is the world reserve currency is the aircraft carrier fleet and oil. China could and will eventualy be a military superpower but they are not going around enforcing their deals like the US.

        If the eventual Putin successor ends up breaking deals and completely giving up to the West, China will only say "ha glad you are joining the losing team, good luck my friends you'll need it."

        China will deal in economic power only because this is their advantage, they could care less if Russia makes the wrong decisions later, though they'll try to make their best case for cooperation and restraint.

        On the contrary, China and Russia are very close and this has probably been planned for some time. You're not really paying attention if you think they only have mutual enemies. There's a lot of mutual respect, warmth, and increasing ideological alignment, even despite Russia no longer being Socialist.
