Ukraine - Russia Conflict

- Start date
It delays Chinese influence. It gives the delusions to the Russians that they are still scary and relevant. A loss will result the Russians acting like a mad dog. They might just start arming Iran with ICBM's. Russians might genuinely start acting like rogue state after that.

It's not like Putin wouldn't side with Xi anyway. You guys must be the only ones who can't see that.
That's what Ukraine is currently doing by keeping Russia occupied. As well as, you know, fighting off an aggressor who invaded them.
you need to put yourself in a western shoes and think about it. It makes more sense to take out the biggest threat and then go after the lesser ones. This ensures that biggest threat does not get any help or form any alliance. (right now US does not want china to ally with russia). It is a classic divide & conquer strategy.
Russia is the biggest impediment to wests world domination.
1) Historically for the last 300 years it has fought against other european powers , it knows their weakness & strength.
Chinese on the other hand hardly can claim they have that much historical insight on west.
2) Russia is physically near to west they represent more immediate threat.
Chinese , nope nowhere nearby.
3) Russia has lot of territory, resources that can be exploited easily if broken apart.
China can be exploited by using dollar.
4) Russian population is low which makes them quite vulnerable to large events, pandemic or war.
China has no such issues for the near future atleast for next two or 3 decades.
5) From a western perspective russia cannot be managed but china can be managed.
chinese for all its economy does not have the reach that russia has had historicially. china is more of a asian power and historically never ventured out of asia (just like India) they hardly pose a threat to west around the world. Russia has shown it can support , intervene or fight wars around the world for its allies or interests. china not so.
6) Technologically russians have fared better than chinese , they have had weapons they can compete with west in world market as well as battle field. They might be a bit outdated but historically they proved battle worthy right from middle east to north korea.
Americans are confident they can manage the chinese and they will manage them well, china is not a power that can rival russia. They might be economically big but they hardly have the balls fight.. If you see historically for last 1000 years, china & India have been bigger economies than the countries in the west but that hardly has translated to military might to influence things around the world.
Once russia falls , its literally freeway for west. Not that russia is super strong to prevent them but they will be atleast of nuisance value on arms market and international fora.
It's not BS, you could run the same tweets for any given nation, just choose some far right rallies and post pictures. When Russian tanks are openly flying the hammer and sickle and it's on the flags of the new pseudo 'Russian republics,' they have no right to complain anyway. Russophobia is something that Putin caused.
Fact is, there was no genocide in Ukraine. Even now Ukraine is not killing Russian PoWs, even the SoaB found guilty of participating in the Bucha massacre was not executed. Clearly it's not much of a Nazi regime is it?
No, it's just classic conquer tactics by Russia. The facts are plain as day whether you choose to accept them or not.
