Very readable article about the now possible outcomes of the Russia-Ukraine war….snippet of it quoted below. Whole article is written by a Chinese academic, obviously sanctioned by Chinese Communist Party. Dr Mike Martin recommends it, saying Putin has screwed it up for the Chinese and they now need to ditch him.

2. The conflict may escalate further, and the West’s eventual involvement in the war cannot be ruled out. While the escalation of the war would be costly, there is a high probability that Putin will not give up easily given his character and power. The Russo-Ukrainian war may escalate beyond the scope and region of Ukraine, and may even include the possibility of a nuclear strike. Once this happens, the U.S. and Europe cannot stay aloof from the conflict, thus triggering a world war or even a nuclear war. The result would be a catastrophe for humanity and a showdown between the United States and Russia. This final confrontation, given that Russia’s military power is no match for NATO’s, would be even worse for Putin.
