Man, China must be watching this shitshow, looking at Outer Manchuria and wondering what exactly Russia could do about it at this point if they decided to reverse the Treaty of Aigun...
The only response is nukes
A nuclear power just had its sovereignty “violated.”
Nukes didn’t fly.
And this is why nuclear powers don't start stupid wars of conquest, because if they fail (normally they fail), "nukes fly".

Sharp as a rusty cleaver. I really don't understand what you are trying to say. What about Vietnam? Who tried to conquer it, China? You understand what an annexation is? The only time an annexation worked since WW2 was sort of Tibet at least that I can remember.

And what was your cleaver point? I'm going to take a chair and sit down to listen to your wisdom. Please 🫱
Do...do you think America won Vietnam...?
Pretty soon the world is going to need proof that they have even one working warhead before that stops being a viable defense.
I remind you of the famous launch-site homing russian SAM and dare them to prove it.
Do they work?
That's just the thing: No one knows, not even the Russians.
Which is why they won't launch them. Cause that could lead to a worse outcome for Putin than total annihilation - public embarassment.
