If anything, I would think that China would want Russia to lose the conflict in order to safely keep Russia in the #2 spot. 

For the love of God Biden admin giving Republicans an easy attack against them after half of them tried to block Ukraine aid.

They've lost their credibility and now REPUBLICANS are somehow looking like the smart ones.

Stop being a goddamn idiot, Biden and start ignoring Jake Sullivan.

Nah, a distracted America and Europe is a good thing for China, they likely don't believe that Europe will wake up either and even if they do it may be too late for Ukraine and even if it isn't, does it nescessarily mean Ukraine will win? Not when they all still enforce a bunch of stupid restrictions on Ukraine and are unwilling to put themselves in uncomfortable positions, the more likely scenario is they hoard the equipment for themselves and that doesn't help countries outside of NATO, to put it bluntly, if Ukraine loses then it will give the greenlight to every imperialist country that any country not in NATO (and doesn't have nukes) is on the table cause it isn't like NATO will protect them.

Another thing to consider is dictators like Putin always get overconfident though, even though there's countless examples of that biting them in the ass, Russia may have made a bit of a shitshow of the invasion but it doesn't mean China will be put off by that if Xi Jinping is just as delusional. Keeping Europe distracted with Russia will allow China to make moves elsewhere unnoticed.

Nah, the CCP hates the West, ours is a business arrangement but the CCP hates everything about us outside of money, we just need each other but China would absolutely side with Russia over us because "West bad" in CCP's eyes. Doesn't mean they want Russia all powerful though, basically China will play both sides, whether Russia wins or loses they'll end up sucking the teat of China.

China's end goal will be Russia dependent on them and a West whose credibility is battered on the international stage.

If China's end goal with russia is their dependence then you would think that they would favor a long drawn out war resulting in a loss rather than a quick win. A more powerful Russia would have an easier time solving its industrial supply issues, and thus would need china for fewer things. 

I think that would be their goal, yeah. Supply enough to keep West occupied but not enough to damage their own military readiness or enable a swift victory for Russia but they'd rather Russia win than the West but for now, keep the West distracted, slowly weaken their credibility, forces Russia even more to be dependent on China.

And all those countries near China having territorial disputes with them, especially in South China Sea, China will turn to them and say "The West couldn't even protect Ukraine, what makes you think they'll protect you?" and start getting even more pushy and those countries would be probably understandably fall in line and bow to China pressure because they see there's nobody there to save them.

Scholz sure has a lot of people to call warmongers lately!

It looks like Ukraine will probably be able to use Link-16 on its F16s, and they have been given funding for this. I hope that this can be done well so that NATO's intel can link up with Ukraine's for an even better big-picture view of the battlefield.

Fun fact: Since Wednesday, W. Selenski is technically a dictator as his time as president ran out on Tuesday...
