Russia and Ukraine

[Thumpalumpacus]

I have to wonder what Russia would do if Ukraine invaded Belarus.  I'm imagining Jack and Squat.

I bet they'd counterpunch somewhere else in the east or south, to both relive pressure and capture further Ukrainian territory.

WW3, lol.  Russia has it's hands full invading a country the size of texas.  It's day 392 of a three day war and russia is still struggling, mightily, to attempt to occupy two counties worth of territory with it's entire military committed.

As unlikely as it may seem, the WWIII issue is not Russia vs The World, it's whatever countries join Russia, like China and India, African countries and South American.

China won't join in, they've too much to lose and nothing to gain from the Ukraine war escalating. India are far more likely to continue fence sitting while Russian commodities are ultra cheap, but try to swing back towards the US afterwards, especially now that they know the Russian weapons systems they invested into are vapourware. And any African nations stupid enough to side with Russia would be as useful as a chocolate teapot in a volcano if a wider war broke out.

The Ukranians are fighting for what's theirs. The Russians are fighting because someone said they had to...I'm figuring the former is a reason that will last longer.

In a better world, maybe - but in this world both ukranians and russian soldiers are hostages. The ukranians will keep fighting as long as a russian rifle is pointed at them...and in this, the russian forces are in a completely equivalent position. They've got ukranian nazi supersoldiers on one side, and invincible russian blocking forces on the other.
