But that would bring a huge outcry from the world so this is a limited engagement. China won't engage Russia militarily in the near future. They have their eyes on Taiwan especially their high tech industries. IMHO.
Some good points, but the Ukrainian Air Force has had GREAT SUCCESS in coordination with ground-fired missiles that have forced Russia to send in missiles from Belarus and from warships to the south of Ukraine. And forced the Russians to turn to genocide directed at civilian populations by long-range missiles. Russia could (?) lose this war!
