@LabTech41 Putin first, but he has lost the killer touch, Xi is skating around him at a rate of knots at the minute, changing maps to Chinese names, meeting with the "Stan's", not committing to the pipeline (China won't pay for it, they don't want it blown up before it opens), Xi must sense that Putin is in a deep hole!?!

The PLA is stronger than Russia is at present, but it has to neutralise the nuclear option before a liberation of Chinese land, that would involve a tricky operation of a Russian collapse. All other Asian countries are currently upgrading their military due to the Chinese threat, and China can be easily crippled by a blockade, no Asian country will want to fight China at present, unless China gives them no alternative!?!

The thing is who will the "Stans" fear the most, I have an inkling it is the Russians, and they might gravitate towards China if they offer some security guarantees, but this is not without jeopardy, Russia has nukes but it's conventional forces and equipment are shot to pieces, it is being isolated in the East easily by China who have seen the back door being left open while the front door is being kicked in by Ukraine, this will be Putin's legacy!?!
