Don't care. Give me meaningful statements or shut up.

Oh, I think they understand. It is their business to know such

Have you considered where Vladivostok, Russia is located? It is located >around the Golden Horn Bay on the Sea of Japan. It's the home of the
Russian Pacific Fleet.

If Kim were to start a war, Putin would probably hit Kim really hard on
the head! That would send Kim running to Xi who would hit him even harder.
The last thing Xi wants is a hot war between Russia, Japan and the US
Navy. That would really ruin Xi's parade.

Vlad, Xi and Kim will be discussing this in Peking: how to avoid a hot
war with the US and NATO this year. All eyes will be on Putin - he's the
one killing the civilians.
My guess Xi will tell everyone to cool it while Trump is in office
because Trump is too unpredictable and too powerful.
Trump could send in the US Marines anytime he wants to and put a stop to
the fighting in Ukraine in about a day or two.
Who would stop him?

As the Commander-in-Chief of all US forces, Trump can do anything he
wants to. With a single telephone call to the US troops stationed in
Europe:
"Time to move out, boys. Hit them. Hit them really hard. I mean it. Now go!"
