I'm still pretty convinced that Japan would stay out of a Taiwan conflict as much as possible. If anything, this Takaichi thing tells me that they just don't have the guts to fight against China; especially since there's a real possibility that they could lose real territory over it.
That's about the least surprising news ever. The CIA has a record of funding every enemy of countries that the US doesn't like, and the Dalai Lama fits that description like a glove. We even already knew that the CIA was deeply involved in Tibet in the 1950s, so giving him money is just an extension of that operation.
Even the previous Dalai Lama was a British shill. Why did he run away to British India twice when things got tough? Why did he allow so much British "influence and support" to be in Tibet?
Honestly speaking, I'm beginning to think the role of Dalai Lama should be abolished just like King, Emperor etc. Its just a religious relic from the past that no longer justifies remaining in this age.
That title isn't even some really ancient thing. Its just a title given during the Ming Dynasty era.
Frankly speaking, should China go into war with Japan over Operation AR and/or the Ryukyus (and the US and its Lackeys Co.), personally I don't think Russia needs to join the conflict as an active belligerent.
The Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet based at Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky could serve as mobile fleet-in-beings by tying up certain portions of the JMSDF and the US Navy forces in the Northern Pacific, primarily with their SSNs and SSGNs (alongside their SSBNs and SSKs to a lesser extent). The Russian Long Range Aviation bomber fleet that is based at Ukrainka would be a useful addition to this combo as well.
In addition, the airspaces around the China–North Korea–Russia border tripoint could be utilized for PLAAF warplanes to transit between Northeastern China and the Sea of Japan for missions targetting the Japanese home islands. Similar arrangements could also be made for airspaces above certain parts of the Russian Far East that would enable PLAAF warplanes to conduct missions in the Northern Pacific.
Moreover, without active participation in the war, Russian military assets cannot be legally attacked by the opposing forces, as long as they stay just beyond the reaches of the active combat regions during the war. This should be useful for collecting military intelligence, which could be passed onto the Chinese side.
The same applies with North Korea.

They can't, conflict there de facto invalidates US security guarantees to both Korea and Japan: their core SLOCs lie there. Right now, US ensures them. Shall Taiwan reunite, what then, US-guaranteed communications around Malay barrier, after (likely) a lost naval war? That's ridiculous; country can be security guarantor only if it's physically able to provide said security.
For Korea geography is in such proximity to China they can't do anything about it, but Japan(which has way large share of transpacific ones) can afford to fight.
This is not a new knowledge, and it was always tacitly understood. But saying it out loud is a stupid mistake, not the least because even in Korea this statement immediately stinks of worst memories abt Japan.
Irony here is that regardless of Ru participation, lack of concluding peace treaty b/n Russia and Japan is a strong argument for validity of UN charter miscellaneous provisions (article 107), with argumentation going firmly beyond just lack of deletion.
Funny how Japanese reluctance with Kuril islands may bite them back so hard in such an unexpected way.

If Japan thinks that they will lose more by fighting a war with China than to back out, they absolutely can. Besides, by that point, Japan is likely going to have serious doubts about whether the Americans can protect them any more.
Well, the election is over now.
"But sar, this incident is obviously the pilot's own misjudgement not the plane's fault. The Tejas is literally known to be the most reliable plane in the world, as evident that there are only a few crashes over half a century! where 20 planes were delivered in total."
Actually the mongols aka yuan gave the title, the ming inherited it. Dalai is a Mongol word meaning ocean and only the Gelugpa refer their leaders as lamas. The rest of Tibetan Buddhism refer their leaders as rinpoches meaning venerable. But yeah like his predecessor tenzin sold the Tibetan people to India.
