    • A potential conflict between the West and Russia could escalate into a world war, involving most of the world's superpowers.
    • The conflict could involve conventional warfare, including deployment of air and ground forces, to counter Russia's forces.

    China's Role in the Conflict

    • China's position in the conflict is unclear, despite criticizing the U.S.'s role and suggesting NATO encroachment has provoked Russia.

    Ukraine's Resistance and the Global Balance of Power

    • Ukrainian resistance has been formidable against invading Russian forces, which could lead to a prolonged ground war.
    • The war could spread beyond Ukraine, potentially igniting a third world war, if the U.S. and its NATO allies become militarily involved.

    NATO's Response to Russian Aggression

    • Accidental or purposeful Russian strikes into NATO territory would trigger Article 5 of the Western treaty, prompting a military response from the U.S.
    • Russia's increasing missile and airstrikes risk an accidental crossing into the border of a NATO country, which would require a NATO response.
