Ha! I live in Kiev, Ukraine, and just 46 days ago I thought absolutely same about possible Russian invasion to Ukraine. Now I few days per week spend on finding products to eat, because we have real war and we have some problems with supply (I will not ask you to talk here about military needs, but they are also exists and they are very significant).

Now I thank to Gods, for my friends decisions, who where not agree with me and evacuated their families, before I change my mind.

Well, telling the future is always a hard business, but that situation has not really changed my thinking on Taiwan. The situations are too different. The US is not just going to sit back and watch one of their key waystations in Asia get bled out the way they have with Ukraine.

I believe, we will both agree, that best for all world, if Ukraine will survive invasion, and Taiwan will also survive. Or if China will decide to not invade at all, considering what US sanctions are doing to Russia.

- For me one possible explanation of all these crazy things, that Russian officials in reality are puppets of Chinese, and this way China tests, what will happen if... And now Chinese have received dataset, an will decide, are possible consequences acceptable for them.
