Seems the dneiper is a pretty obvious natural border between the two. Let em have it.

Other than smoky joes obvious corruption payoffs, I see no reason for the western world to care about this.

the result would be a New Cold War "Trace" on the Dnieper with NATO & Russia in a standoff

the front then shifts to Belarus and the Sulwalki Gap on the Polish - Lithuanian frontier with Article V

parallel maritime standoffs in the Barents, Baltic & Black Seas

with the standoffs in Moldova, Armenia & Syria then escalating along the same lines

Lockheed Martin shareholders approve

Trump sure got lucky this didn't happen on his watch; what a Meta.

meanwhile over in the East China Sea two Carrier Strike Groups are facing off with a PLA Carrier Task Force

this is less of a concern however, because actually China is bluffing on Taiwan

realistically China cannot take Taiwan by force of arms

it is an exponentially more difficult task to launch an amphibious invasion across the Taiwan Strait

Formosa is a natural fortress, the PLA Navy Marine Corps is not capable of getting ashore

really only the US Marine Corps is capable of taking Taiwan, and they would hard pressed

so the New Cold War with China is more of a strategic confrontation

the theatre war in Ukraine however I find to be highly plausible

it all comes down to terrain, and Donbass to the Dnieper is wide open for a blitzkrieg

the Russians are all about buffer zones, pushing NATO back, without inciting an Article V breach

then employ nuclear blackmail to hold the ground

Trump was sure lucky in the South China Sea too; what a lucky dude: lucky, lucky, lucky.

it just wasn't in his interests to distract from domestic issues, the economy was his bread & butter

in the Democrats case however, they are playing every desperate card they can to ram their agenda through

from smearing their opposition at home as "Domestic Terrorists"

to invoking a foreign enemy for the base to rally against with the Russia Hoax Red Scare

the Democrats are going maximum distraction, so their Coastal Elite masters can plunder the public purse

Doesn’t sound much different and again, not something that anyone cares about, outside of Ukraine and the Oval Office.

not something that anyone cares about

ah, well, no need to discuss it further then

back to spring cleaning in the yard

I’m referring to the motivation for war, not the concern over it. I can’t fathom how they’re justifying this standoff over a giant wheat field.
