What happens if China and Russia form a NATO-esq agreement while Russia takes old USSR countries and China takes Taiwan?
- phillc73 5y agoWell, we have always been at war with Eurasia and East Asia.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoThen they still have to take them. Russia's having trouble with the first step. Some of the other steps are going to require facing off with all of NATO. That's going to be harder. China may be able to take Taiwan. First they have to get enough stuff across the straight. That's not easy. To do it, they have to own the sea and the air, which means that they have to have disabled most of the American assets within hundreds of miles. That's not easy either. They can form the agreement (the Moscow-Beijing Axis) if they want. "Taking" is harder.

- Markoff 5y agothat sounds like pretty bad deal for China, I would assume at very least China taking at least Mongolia as well together with Taiwan
