If it escalates I can see China being more involved although their motivation is still unclear to me other than to oppose the U.S.
China is backing Iran.
China & Iran are still supplying Russia. If things drag out or escalate with Russia, & China times it right, they take Taiwan and claim it was already and always was theirs, so nothing to see here, move along. There’s a motivation.

Those that oppose, no soup Rare Earth Minerals/Elements for you (or the processing of such in China if you have your own).

That's old old news.

Shit is going next level. Netanyahu pissed off Russia and China over Gaza and the attack on Iran.

Bibi gave China and Russia a huuuuuuge gift that compromises everybody. Oodles and oodles of data on F35 signatures to tune S400 and HQ-9 to.

Yeah, 1/2 a day old news. The story has a publishing date and time.

If Trump gets his way, on the other side of the bargaining table would be a Russian leader who has offered no indication he’s willing to make even the slightest shift in the strategies he’s pursued since he launched his invasion three years ago. He left Fairbanks having made no concessions while receiving several in return.
We have only Trump’s assurance that Putin is willing to meet with Zelenskyy, with no confirmation from Moscow that such is the case. “We don’t know whether the Russian president will have the courage to attend such a summit,” Germany’s Merz noted frankly.

Putin makes no bones that he despises the Ukraine president. He’s denounced him as “a disgrace to the Jewish people,” dismissed his leadership as illegitimate and derided Ukraine’s government as a “neo-Nazi regime.” He justifies Russia’s invasion as a necessary evil to “finally eradicate Nazism.”

An agreement as Washington envisions it thus would require Ukraine to trust in Donald Trump, and Trump to depend on the reliability of Vladimir Putin.

We know from experience what would likely happen if the two combatants got together and emerged with nothing to show for it: rather than accept his grand plan had failed, Trump would wash his hands of it and fix on a scapegoat, probably Ukraine as the weaker of the two. Without the prospect for personal glory, his interest would quickly fade.
