3- Russia will escalate if it believes it's losing the war by using tactical nukes. But is afraid of losing Chinese support

I have seen multiple Western analyst saying if Russia goes down then China knows that 'China is next'.
So far the Chinese have been very very carefully supporting Russia by keeping the trade going and maybe export some weapons/ammos; the Chinese fear enhanced Western sanctions which would really hurt China (and the West).

Don't know about 6-8 weeks but two observerations

1- Russia didn't use liberal air power may be they are afraid of Ukraine defense systems or their aircrafts are just bad

2- Russia can't achieve dniper river goal.

3- Russia will escalate if it believes it's losing the war by using tactical nukes. But is afraid of losing Chinese support

4- Russia goal is to defeat ukriane in conventional war by taking all areas it's claim and then demanding on negotiation table the areas it's annexed plus no NATO Membership.

It will keep fighting untill these two objectives were acheived

There’s a simple reason Russian air force is impotent. Ukraine has a large stock of Soviet Cold War era anti-air systems. Basically the same generation as Russian air force. Since Ukrainian’s SAMs Force Russian planes to fly low, they become vulnerable to shorter range systems and even MANIPADS. With no air defence suppression doctrine, there’s very little Russia can do at this point;; ( on Nukes) He won’t use any , no matter what kind. Because he knows exactly that the answer of nato would be catastrophic for all. Besides could they be so stupid as to use nukes . Something that would just blow radiation their way! What he could use if he get desperate enough Russians might use chemical or biological weapons , and ones with with a low persistency for purposes of plausible deniability. ( Russian winning) As long as the western Alliance keep supplying the Ukrainian Army with tanks, planes, artillery pieces, etc etc the Russian invasion will eventually break and retreat back to their Russia.

China fear regarding Russia losing is Taiwan becoming too much "cokey" ... Taiwan may declare independence or join some alliance forcing China hand which China doesn't want

Not responding to the use of nukes doesn’t make the world safer it would only ensure the continued use of nukes

If putin uses nukes, nato will/ must respond

United State:
▪️ The Chinese fleet outperforms the American fleet
▪️ Half of our air fleet is unable to carry out tasks
▪️ Failed to launch a hypersonic missile
▪️ We won't be able to face two powers alone like China and Russia
▪️ China and Russia refuse to talk about nuclear weapons

Urgent | The White House: We call on American citizens to leave Russia immediately
@AJArabic

Yesterday, an American journalist and reporter was arrested in Katerinburg on charges of espionage..
In fact, it is not clear whether it is related to the request of the State Department to return the Americans from Russia!
