China right now:
So, Iran has Russian air defence and even some Russian fighter jets. And Israel owns the sky, uncontested, even low-speed and low-altitude drones are safe.
So... Should we go a bit north to get back our ancient territories? Who's gonna stop us if we go up to Siberia? They're too busy getting their asses ......... in Ukraine. We can get Taiwan later, the US blockade would mean nothing if we get the oil from our newest province.
(That's the short version.)
