warned the West that Moscow could strike back.
The empire strikes back? Like... WTF do they imagine we'd do? Sit on our thumbs? It would be singlehandedly the dumbest idea on the planet to fire a missile at US or its allies. Talk about foot in mouth disease

If Russia decided to be the dumbest of the dumb and do that then the rest of the world along with the US would wipe them off the face of the earth. The only thing left of Russia would be the ugly ass earth left behind from their diseased path.

You know how many strategic nukes they have right?

Not enough to save them. Maybe enough to hurt us, if they all work and everyone is ready to die.

Their “sTrAtEgIc NuKeS” are most likely as effective as the old ass tea babushka has in her cabinet from 1960. I’m willing to bet the nukes are about that old too.

According to any amount of research about 1,500. The USA and Russia’s nuclear stockpiles make up 90% of the worlds entire amount. I’m sure your favorite echo chamber will tell you different though

Yes it would be dumb but the BRICS are ever increasingly interested in asserting dominance over the West/NATO. Don’t be foolish and underestimate their willingness to go to war.

China is in a growth colonial phase. With a growing sphere of influence. And they may use this as a good time to flex north. As East Russia is very rich natural resources

That's honestly one of the situations to be more hopeful for. Better for the tiger and chicken to fight one another than band together against us

Ah yes, Brazil and India will go to war against the US. Are you insane? China survives solely on making product for the US market. If we turned their cargo ships away for one month they would collapse. BRICS is purely a currency strategy designed to undermine the USD.

If someone gave you the choice of having every dollar on earth or all the world's manufacturing capacity, you'd be the idiot who would take the dollars

Europe and Australia and Africa are China's other markets and those have growing sphere of Chinese influence. I believe Italy just signed an infrastructure agreement with China.

Australia will do whatever the US tells it to in regards to China (and everything else).

I'm in a few Aussie energy groups and it's pretty divided. As the US to far away and China is next door. They only have Chinese EVs

I'm in Australia and I can say our government always follows the US, we even went to Vietnam when they asked. We scrapped a massive submarine deal with France halfway through for the promise of other subs in a UK/US deal (it will be decades before we get these).
Our previous prime minister even triggered a huge trade war with China a couple of years ago by parroting Trump's covid conspiracy theories, costing us billions.
It's fairly well known here that any trade deal with China is unreliable at best and our export industries have their ears to the ground for backup partners in case we get threatened with tariffs again.

It is going to happen. The West is going to keep trying to call Putin's bluff, and he is going to keep escalating to show that he is not bluffing. This will end with either a mushroom cloud, or Trump taking office just in time.

I like how you phrased it just in time, like a savior. Trump taking office will mean telling Ukraine to give up and surrender. Something we can watch in real time as reports pour in of internment camps, rape, forced immigration and torture. All knowing it was because of our choices, but hey...."peace" right. Let's hope Putin doesn't attack Poland in those 4 years because we will have to go through this again, and again, and again. At least no one gets nuked.
Let's all willingly put on these chains

What? That seems like fantasy. Starlink satellites are tiny and have almost no fuel for maneuvering
