Well now, what have we here?
Like I said from the onset, at best China and India are only fair weather friends:
-
The list of those voting against it is pretty predictable. And very, very short. The Federation is very isolated.
-
Sooner or later China will call its mortgage. May not be in Putin’s time, but China will someday come knocking. The Kremlin, or whatever new age Fascist state is left if of it in the wake of the current criminal regime, will run to the West for assistance.
We should think twice about assisting.
Elbows up!

The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but they may prove useful. Assuming that Russia still has any nukes that are reliable - an uncertain thing given recent kleptocracy in the armed forces, they could still inflict some damage on China. And if it’s within a decade of this misadventure it will be all they have left.

The Kremlin...will run to the West for assistance.
We should think twice about assisting.Why? I understand that a weak Russia is probably in our nations' best interests.
However, if that weakness comes at the cost of a strong China, is that a good thing?

China will, for the foreseeable future, strengthen regardless of what happens inside Russia.
Although I am loathe to sound like a bean counting technocrat, after the trillion plus dollars, GBP and Euros in investment, technical assistance and humanitarian aid that the West has pumped into the USSR and The Russian Federation, why would the West want not wash its hands of the place?
Elbows up!

A. Could be propaganda.
B. Could be Russian drones.“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
