[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted this on the "military" thread but didn't get much feedback, so I'm also posting it on this thread.

Curious for your thoughts on this: is there a chance that Putin actually wants to draw NATO into Ukraine in order to ignite a broader conflict? Perhaps, so far, he has been fighting with one arm behind his back, and he will only swing with both fists once NATO forces enter Ukraine. Additionally, with NATO deployed in Ukraine, is there a risk that China would then enter the conflict, fighting alongside of Russia? [/quote]

No, I don't think Russia is holding back right now. But, yes, he does seem to be trying to provoke a direct response from NATO - perhaps because then he can rally the Russians around a war against NATO instead of one against just their Slavic brothers.

And sure there's a risk China would come to Russia's assistance if NATO entered the war. That's why Biden said it would start WW3.

There seems to be the beginnings of an "axis of authoritarians" setting up - Russia, Belarus, China --- and then there a bunch of countries who are thinking about it, like UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil, Serbia... This is a very fraught moment. In a tense environment like this, wars often start accidentally, and Biden and NATO are doing everything they can to prevent that from happening.[/quote]
