From today’s perspective, it’s an entirely unthinkable scenario — China in open conflict with Russia, fighting for control of Vladivostok in 2027.
Militarily and economically, such a clash would be extremely unlikely and immensely risky — but I thought, why not?
In 2010, no one thought seriously that Russia and Ukraine would be stuck in a 4 years long bloody trench war, that a US president would openly claim that Canada is the "51st state" or that taking Greenland by force is a possibility, or that the UK would leave the UE.
At this rate, everything is possible. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mongols go to war again in 5 years and create a gigantic empire stretching from Lisbon to Beijing after a surprise war that defeat everyone in its path...
... And that could be a fun twist
