    My guess is they’re stationing troops up north now that the Ukrainian war is essentially over, I don’t think it’ll lead to a war. If it does, Norway and Sweden (not to mention Baltic states and NATO) have a great interest in defending Finland, and are not like Ukraine

      Then Russia calls china to help. China enters and starts with Taiwan. USA sits on its orange ass until late in the war (like ww1 and ww2)

          You’re getting downvoted but I think what you need to understand is that China can do nothing, and that still helps Russia. Instead, they are trading with them and keeping their economy afloat. They don’t have to send men/material to help.
