As it seems humanity is again falling into a series of deadlocked mechanisms and alliances in a similar way that happened by the eve of World War 1. Like previously, today's escalation will depend on each side's capability to call more players to it's team.

On Team Russia for the time being we have Russia, Belarus, Donetsk and Luhansk with China providing support without official involvement. But China can officially seat on Russia's team if they find this as an opportunity to fulfill Xi Jinping's constant promise to invade Taiwan.

Meanwhile I am just here on the other side of the planet watching as the situation progresses.
