NATO must be ready for 2-front conflict with Russia and China, top US commander in Europe says

1. Right behind you, America. Maybe.

2. That is the correct answer

3. That conflict would last about 2 hours, and no one would win it.

4. If China declared war, we would get no help from our European allies other than maybe uk. Maybe. That is why we should abandon Europe and Ukraine and focus on our real allies in the pacific mainly Japan, Philippines and Korea

5. Russia has been exhausting themselves for over three years in Ukraine. The idea that they could take on all of NATO is laughable.

   Doesn’t mean NATO shouldn’t be preparing for that possibility.

6. Russia can continue the war with minimal gains while China prepares. This scenario is still on the menu.

7. Honestly it appears to me that the main issue is willingness to commit to a fight, not the capacity to fight it.

   China dosen’t have a natural route to threaten NATO or even most U.S. pacific allies, their threat is concentrated to a difficult island invasion of Taiwan where almost every country in the region focused their defense considerations on countering it.
   Russia is stalemated by Ukraine with some aid alone, and will be hopelessly behind the rest of Europe by the time that war is over.

   The notion of a 2027 coordinated Russo-Chinese campaign seems far fetched (Joining the time honored tradition of military leaders exaggerating to create urgency for their priorities).
