China could ask Russian to launch an attack on a Nato member state to distract from its [own invasion of Taiwan](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/this-is-how-china-could-invade-taiwan-as-island-surrounded-in-practice-drill-3617323?srsltid=AfmBOoqNPhXet-sYUEdFf7PS5dMWbs8lCKtir72xe9pzc2R-vwADa_Te&ico=in-line_link), the head of the military alliance has warned.
Nato chief Mark Rutte said that if Chinese President Xi Jinping wanted to [attack Taiwan](https://inews.co.uk/news/how-people-taiwan-preparing-chinese-invasion-3235675?srsltid=AfmBOorZBGh_I7hkBectV0c3m86HFU-RqSiejNWI_TYdkVzIpgt6u1ZS&ico=in-line_link), “he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin… telling him, ‘Hey, I’m going to do this, and I need you to to keep them busy in Europe by[ attacking Nato territory’.”](https://inews.co.uk/news/putin-attack-europe-three-years-warns-senior-nato-official-3740397?srsltid=AfmBOor8hH7QIzUjw9wOy_8_Q1j5XwEocowtmlZ12KBZYB_daJ2x7tL_&ico=in-line_link)
“That is most likely the way this will progress,” Rutte said in an interview with *The New York Times*.
But how likely is a co-ordinated attack – and what would the consequences be?

Utter fantasy. China will not invade Taiwan unless it wants all out war in Asia, risking drawing in Japan and South Korea, and possibly (likely) the US. Russia can’t hold it’s Ukrainian theatre together, let alone fighting on another, tougher front against all European Nato allies.
While I could see how China could invade Taiwan (even though it would be super risky…), ruzzias attack on NATO would be a suicide mission with the only hope that threat “if you do something we will use our n-n-n-n-n-ukes” will work.
Very likely scenario imo..
What skeptics need to remember is that an “attack on NATO” is not an invasion, but more a lightning fast conquering and holding of territory. Maybe not even by official Russian forces.
y tho?
Isn’t this is basically how ww2 started? Russia and Germany were buddying it up and then BHAM!
China is not stupid, the value outside of the symbolic value of Taiwan is really low compared to the cost.
Their posturing is just posturing, they seem to be much more pragmatic and intelligent than Russia.
