I’ve been trying to convince China: vladivostok (before 1900: Yongmingcheng) was taken from them. take it back. Russia won’t be able to fight it.
just take it back. there’s lots of resources up that way too; much more than you could ever get by starting ww3 over taiwan. SK, JP, fuck every pacific nation aside from NK will support Taiwan. Why fight the hard fight? Just… go north and get some. No one will complain. The UN will not censure anyone for fucking with Russia.
