#1 That's what Ukraine has going for it, all of Europe sides with them except Hungary, so their logistical supply is safe.

No one sides with Russia, including China. China soon will begin to encroach on eastern Russia and I'll laugh when they make it formal.

#2 The possibility of the Russian far east being picked apart by China will probably be a large noise maker, mostly because of Kamchatka. Big nuke bases.

#3 So we make war against a country that is not a threat to us and the country that is a threat moves to take the spoils. You might almost be tempted to believe that Biden is getting paid by the CCP. Oh wait...Biden is getting paid by the CCP.

Wouldn't it frost their balls if Putin nuked Peking?

#4 The left in the US is very invested in keeping Ukraine as a trap for pub presidents. Which means even they know there will be another pub president.

#5 /\ Trump & Musk solution:

Offer Russian soldats (and their Russian brides) a path to US citizenship if they break ranks and defect to Poland. Guaranteed US employment, language training, Twitter account (or Twitter job) and/or two years free college.

You don't have to take that shi* anymore. Come here, live the dream !

Know how to drive a URAL-4320? Super! We need truck drivers.

Already parachute or Spetsnaz qualified? Great! Three year enlistment with hefty sign-on bonus. Bring jump log and graduation certificates. Self-paced Fort Bragg transition course. Paid Relo to North Carolina, then Florida, or Colorado. You pick the Zipp code.

#6 Didn't Afghani translators get offered a similar deal?

#7 There's the old story of the SOF guy who said there are 25 people in the US who need to be "removed" to straighten things out. Musk's Starship. Space the bastids.

#8 China isn't invading China for same reason it hasn't invaded Taiwan: The dams, especially the Three Gorges. That thing goes, China goes with it. And both of the Nations in their crosshairs have the capability to reach them.

It's why China specializes in infiltration and corruption. The way they've set things up makes if far to easy to destroy. And with that level of destruction, the Mandate of heaven will have passed out of Communist hands. Meaning bye-bye people at the top.
