It's widely known that Stalin and the USSR were advocates of a partition along the Yangtze and a North/South China setup, but Mao ignored him and crossed the Yangtze anyway.

https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1683068740957532160

I don't blame Stalin tried to keep China split, same reason I don't blame Mao/China didn't want North Vietnam unify South Vietnam. Both CPC and CPV did the "put up or shut up" thing so they earned it, there is nothing else need to be said.

US did keep a piece of China ununified for 70+ years, that's why it's important for China to unify Taiwan, culturally. The Taiwan dispute is not the same as all other territorial disputes China has with her neighbors.

On July 23, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used a HIMARS rocket to attempt the life of the head of the administration of the city of Alyosha located on the left bank of the Dnieper, Georgy Zhuravko. The mayor was not injured, the press secretary of the acting governor of the Kherson region, Vladimir Vasilenko, told us.

"The AFU struck at the house of Georgy Zhuravko at a time when he was not in the building. The house is destroyed. Experts found fragments of the HIMARS rocket on the spot," Vasilenko said.

Well you have more world population but a lot less people willing to die in ww3 than ww1, and drones everywhere. So 4k high resolution kill cam every day.

Baby suicide drones and even tactical nukes just sound like more weight against maneuver forces tbh; entrenching helps with survivability against both

One thing that nukes will definitely help with is keeping up the suffering ratio to ww1 standards with much larger populations.
