Realistically no one is going to invade Russia.
It still has either the greatest or second greatest nuclear stockpile in the world. So what if NATO expands into Ukraine?

I think that Putin kept the conflict minimal (minor border skirmishes) like many analysts have predicted then he could’ve achieved far better geopolitical outcome. Going all in like this is very detrimental to Russian interests.

Going forward Europe may no longer exist as an independent pole, and neither would Russia. Only long term beneficiaries are on the opposite sides of the Pacific.
You can ask the same question: So what if the US expands into Taiwan? I do agree China and US are the winners of this conflict. US benefits are short term though while for China it could be long-lasting, assuming China can weather through the looming Taiwan crisis.

"Realistically no one is going to invade Russia"

Realistically no one is going to invade China

"I never understood why anybody would think NATO wanted Russia"

I never understood why anybody would think USA wanted China, If USA installs missiles in Taiwan I will watch it calmly and distantly from my Olympian view
No one is going to invade China. There is no country on Earth with the logistical capability to sustain a continental scale land war in China. As long as China is not the aggressor, then there is no moral basis for an invasion.

The US has not installed missiles in Taiwan so the last point is moot. Could this happen in the future? Yes, but so could peaceful reunification or the status quo. One can spend a lifetime arguing about hypothetical threats and contingencies, but until it happens we should not always assume the worst case scenario.

Its the lack of EW that's puzzling. Just some hours before, there were people livestreaming from open fields and touring different places (on occupied Russian places)...
According to this site Battlefield radar operate at around 10GHz.

LTE FDD band is about 2.1 GHz or 1.9Ghz or lower in Europe.

So battlefield EW suppression should not affect civilian mobile broadband.

Significant progress in the north and the south, but little progress in the north-east and east:

Northeast and East have been strongly fortified for years. Zelenskyy basically ignored any warnings and didn't make any preparation or mobilization until the war started. Kyiv is just sitting duck without any preparation and solely rely upon guerrillas warfare to fend off Russian attacks.

Honestly this is not a good thing for China, US get EU back in their camp. China gets a shitty Russia... I think China would much rather see a more independent Europe from trade perspective.

Damn this thread is one arduous climb, I'm literally huffing

NATO is a military alliance. What is the purpose of NATO? There is only one enemy for NATO and that is Russia. Maybe NATO does not currently have the strength to invade, but this puts military and economic pressure on Russia, just as Ukraine killing its own citizens that are ethnic Russians will also need to be responded to by the Russian government.

At the end, Putin saw an opportunity when the West is at a weak state and grabbed it.

Please don't write ignorant stuff like this. No Taiwanese government in present day would dare to allow US install its military or missiles in its soil. I cannot think of a worse decision for Taiwanese government to make in terms of inviting Chinese attack.

Taiwanese people are not American puppets. Mainlanders must not treat them as such. They are not the enemy of mainlanders. A lot of them work in mainland or family members there.

@enroger Bro I digress in fact China is the clear winner by supporting Russia, they complement each other and by 2025 IF China had achieved tech independence in Semiconductors and Aircraft Engine, they may not need EU and Russia had lot of tech talents to offer.
