Why doesn’t Russia declare war on the US after all the Military Aid being sent to Ukraine?

      The ones who don’t want to see the west win.

      Nobody gives a shit about Russia, but there are plenty of countries who would not want nato to succeed, if only to keep what is now Russia away from them once the country collapses under the population drain and economic oblivion caused by the conflict.

      We already have certain hostile countries engaging in more or less subtle support, for example the Iranian suicide drones that somehow made their way into Russian hands in large quantities. China would not want nato to have Russia, they would rather claim it themselves.

        Who will join Russia in actually fighting the war?

        China? No.

        Nth Korea? No.

        Iran? No

        Any others?

        No.

        They would be all on their own.

            They might try but:

            The US pacific fleet will still be there.

            It takes months of prep to attempt to cross the Sth China Sea and they cannot hide the buildup. There are only about 2 or 3 months of the year when it is even possible.

            Taiwan has almost perfect defensive geography. There are only two possible landing sites and Taiwan has been preparing them as killing zones for the past 70 years.

            Honestly, Russia’s progress in the past two years would look like a stunning success in comparison.
