  1. Russia is deterred by Nato from attacking any Nato member country. But Russia could be not deterred by Nato from attacking non Nato member counties. China does not want Russia defeated. Ukraine cannot end this war, even if Russia is pushed back to its 2013 border.

  2. As an international power politic strategist Gen Hodges is one hell of a soldier. The Russians will not use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine unless they perceive they have to. And the Chinese would not want Russia to be eliminated as a great power, which means if Putin says to Xi I used a nuke, Xi will reply "Well if you had to do it you had to do it". But China will supply conventional weapons to Russia to if that is what is needed to it prevent it getting into the situation where is uses a nuke.
