      Putin had to do it now or he would have lost even harder. The demographics in Russia are going to make the next 20 years really bad, and he needed to go now to gain control over the oil and gas fields as well as major pipelines to Europe or it wouldn’t have ever worked.

      China is going to have a similar choice to make soon, as their demographics in 10 years won’t have enough men of military age to possibly retake Taiwan, so they either do it now with the forces they have or it never happens.
