Might be due to me being tired, but fully with you? What do you mean? sorry if its obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, that could impact a lot of things. It’ll be a big worry if the army are involved, though. This would surely impact Russia as well. sorry, I didn’t know that rumour.

Dunge Posted 25 September 2022 Share Posted 25 September 2022 If Xi is about to be toppled, I’d imagine it would be primarily due to his belligerent Covid policy rather than international relations. He’s got the country caught in an endless cycle of lockdowns and won’t back down on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone hoping this is the wonderful Chinese Revolution that will see a democratic republic magically put in place are kidding themselves.

leicsmac Posted 25 September 2022 Share Posted 25 September 2022 Good grief. Imagine regime change in both China and Russia within months of each other. I'm not entirely sure what I would make of that, it could be good but it could equally be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hopes they’ve seen the mess Russia have made and thought nah… not worth it. Or likely they are watching, learning and implementing the lessons. The states won’t back down over Taiwan either.

WigstonWanderer Posted 26 September 2022 Share Posted 26 September 2022 I just don’t see where this stops if it starts. There is simply no scope for brinksmanship in nuclear war. Putin is risking everything for nothing. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/25/us-russia-ukraine-war-nuclear-weapons-jake-sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
