Trump Thread

[Beskar]

Two large, autocratic, nuclear-armed powers going at it? Interesting is a word I would use if I was living on a self-sustaining colony on the Moon / Mars.

Hence the "very unwanted" part! I was kind of hoping of perhaps visiting China this year too for some sightseeing...

After loosing 3/4 of their area I don't envisage the rump Muscovy would then morph in to a Western facing democracy and join the EU.

It really depends on the aftermath. If China gobbled up all that territory successfully, it would become a second cold war. Russia would either become a Chinese proxy-state, or it would join Europe Union/Nato, or it would become a border-state. The Russian proxy-state scenario would be more likely if there was deepening of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation rather than a war between the two nations.
