I'm surprised India has overtaken Japan. A lot of western countries are doing quite well given their foreign policy.

Could be because the Galwan clash is still in recent memory, making India seems more hostile while China hasn't gotten into a physical conflict with Japan, except they are supporting US with containment and voicing that they want to pre-emptively strike China's decision making centers for "self-defense".
What, is Russia going to send Kutnetsov limping towards the Taiwan straits? She needs a proper rest.
This might make a sensitive environment in the Black Sea if they follow through with it. If they really want the grains, then they should just consult and cut a deal with Russia to ensure this won't turn into a standoff.
Could send their ships nearby the Taiwan straits for morale support
jk. Russia could play a role near the seas of Japan and Korea, maybe even send their submarines to do ASW against US subs? Just thinking about it for fun, in an actual scenario China can only trust themselves to carry out their own military objectives.I mean in military exercises with the Russian ground forces, the PLA apparently has to often stop up and wait for the Russians to catch up lol.Could send their ships nearby the Taiwan straits for morale support
And well, not like their navy is that much better than their ground forces (not to mention PLAN has better ships).
So, they would most likely end up just '迁乱' (mess up stuff) if they actually got involved around Taiwan.
Indeed, they'll likely make a mess if they get involved around Taiwan, not to mention the possible political problems that can come from it. But I wonder if they could aid China in perhaps deterring or standing off US and their allies with their much vaunted submarines? Anything that could free up some of China's navy, and make US rethink their strategy?
Stopping Ukraine from exporting is a clear strategy of the war. You allow them to export and you prolong the war even more. The deal to export grain will be like the deal to end the war, basically a surrender.
If NATO are planning on sending in convoys they will be attacked, which is why this won't happen.
I think the plan will be to take to grain as spoils of war, like Iraq and their oil.
Russia won’t get involved unless the Japanese get funny around the Kuril Islands. The only thing that matters is that Russia continues the commodities trade with China.
