The sanctions on Russia have been the most comprehensive and effective ever placed due to the unity of Europe, North America, Japan, Aus, NATO+ etc. Its being cut of through trade by the richest countries in the world and the with all the tech. Chinese can't save them.
This serves another equally important purpose of showing what's in store for China if it invades Taiwan. Russia is a 2nd tier power and could never challenge the U.S but China is the only potential challenger to U.S hegemony this century. One way or another it will come head to head this decade or next.
I would say China will get its ass kicked eventually, no allies, all its neighbours would like to see it reduced to nothing and the U.S has history of being a winning nation. In its short 246 years or so its always come out on top and I think it won't be any different this time round.
If it kicks off between the U.S and China - I'll be selling every single equity I own. It will be the crash of century in stock markets.
All speculation, in the words of my 2nd wife - DYOR.
