"@totoze1234567 @TheWitness2030 @DanCollins2011 You can have a war if you want but it needs to be a war that you can win without consequences. Russia thought Ukraine was that and now Russia is a much poorer country. You're not going to have a very good economy if you start a war that ends with 300m dead Chinese"
