  1. Slight error in this video. The screenshots showing the B-52 and the Tu-95, are mixed up. The B-52 is a purely turbo jet propelled subsonic bomber, wheras the Tu-95 is also subsonic but powered by 8 counter-rotating propellers; it's not jet powered. Both were Cold War era heavy bombers capable of travelling across oceans, so intercontinental.

  2. The CCP is playing a high risk game. The slightest mis-step by them in a war brings them potentially to an end. The US has more room to make errors due to it's alliance system and geostrategic dominance. The Russian alliance is mainly a hinderence, not an assest to the CCP. Plus, it puts it into the target of NATO, already. So the CCP has to potentially fight US European allies as well, that if it kept away from a Russian alliance it would not bring itself into the ire of Europeans; they may have stayed neutral. Not any more. This is it's first mistake.
