just take it back. there's lots of resources up that way too; much more than you could ever get by starting ww3 over taiwan. SK, JP, fuck every pacific nation aside from NK will support Taiwan. Why fight the hard fight? Just.... go north and get some. No one will complain. The UN will not censure anyone for fucking with Russia.

I would clap gleefully if that were to ever happen. Of course it'd possibly lead to nuclear war but I see that as an upside

Honestly I don't see nuclear powers escalating to nuclear attack when they're adjacent to each other. Nuke Beijing and the fallout's heading north back to RU lol. And they each have an arsenal, so nuke beijing, goodbye moscow.

but same, I'd be happy as a pig in shit.

thing is, it makes sense for these former communist countries to be at each other's throats, and they've had literal armed conflict before - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict we just need to point out to China that it's the path of least resistence and greatest return. They'll never be able to squeeze out the sq km's or resources going north could provide by invading Taiwan and trying to dominate the south pacific.

Also that it'd be really funny
