Which will simply become controlled by China--if Russia can even hold onto the territory (this winter will be telling). Russia is now effectively a pending Chinese vassal state caused by their coming rebuild. No one else is going to support them, and Russia has wiped out a big chunk of their workforce--both young labor as well as older brainpower. So, Russia will have to turn to China for both labor and brainpower at the cost of sovereignty. The only thing that would prevent Russia from becoming a Chinese vassal is if they somehow wind up with a leader smart enough to pair up with India. |

Neither China nor India have the military reach to defend Russia. The overarching reason Russia is waging this war is how blood curdingly difficult it is to defend Russia at the best of times with local populations, short (as possible) supply lines, and decades of preparation. Now bring in an Asian power that would have to extend its reach over thousands of miles through tundra and desert with hostile populations along the way. They're not even going to attempt to do that.
