Ukraine

Russia is in no shape to fight NATO. Unless they have assurances from China that they have their back, they won’t escalate. China makes too much money from the USA. The only thing they get from Russia is oil. If they can get cheap oil from Russia and make money from the US, they won’t escalate.
I also think any red line Russia has drawn is meaningless. They are trying to wait out the election and wont do anything prior to January 20th.

The last thing Russia wants to do is have the tide turn even further and have a united USA against them. We should use this and push the boundaries really hard between now and then.
