Yup China will stay neutral and clean up financially , India will either do the same or join with other Democracies.

By the way @Pretzelattack1 nice to see you admitted it was an invasion.

I hope you do not live in Russia otherwise you could be arrested for that , Russian laws now arrest citizens for calling it that.

Both nations know where their bread is buttered. Sadly, the Russian trolls have bought into Putins delusional fantasy. Russia is close to being bankrupt, and no nation will touch them, with regards finance. China may prop them up, but Russia then surrenders to China, and hands over its resources. The US has already warned China against doing this, and it will be interesting to see how China reacts. China isn't interested in a war they will lose, although it will hurt us all, but they are interested in the geopolital gain, in terms of economy.

> lots of what if's being used to ignore the long record of genocide and treaty breaking by the US, and the long illegal expansion of NATO. do what you expect Karjakin to do, stop believing the lies of the US government. if you hold Karjakin to that standard, hold yourselves to it.

> did the US allow independent Cuba to accept nuclear weapons and join the USSR defensive alliance because it made it too hard to invade Cuba? no it did not. NATO and the US agreed that NATO would not expand eastward beyond the borders of Germany. instead almost immediately NATO began doing just that, and experts and even Presidents (Obama) have long recognized that continuing to do so would risk provoking a world war. instead, the same foolish policy was pursued, resulting in Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008 and now, the invasion of Ukraine. Would the US accept wmds in Canada or Mexico if those countries entered into an alliance with Russia. nope. see the Monroe Doctrine, see the numerous invasions of countries which have government the US does not like or that stand in their way.

I think you have your world map upside-down. Much like your somewhat flimsy grasp of world history.
In the Cuban missile crisis, Russia chose not to place nuclear missiles in Cuba after a friendly request not to. Cuba's government did not give back the huge bribes from Russia.
