This cite from the main invasion thread seems relevant to this thread too.

To the degree this article pans out over the next years and is not mere Chinese / Russian scaremongering …

If the Russians are willing to sell their soul to the Chinese, it seems that Ukraine (and the West to the degree they deign to participate) now has to defeat the productive capacity of both Russia _and_ China.

That greatly extends the timeline of the Russian military’s decay curve.
