      or it is a danger due to chinese supporting those ressources.

      Russia not losing doesn’t imply that Russia has to conquer Gotland.

      There is a middle ground where China supports enough that Russia wins something in Ukraine but not enough to conquer Gotland.

      If the war fully escalates then what’s the function of Gotland? There won’t be a Russian fleet. Tanks won’t reach it. I think it can be used by Nato for air defence batteries, which Russia wants to destroy. But why should Russia conquer the island on its own and how can China deliver the ships for it? Before Gotland is in danger other things have to be conquered first.

        I will just repeat myself at this point, but who cares:

        That wasn’t the original point.

        You said Russia won’t attack Gotland due to lacking ressources.

        Or to quote you, again:

        With which fleet should they be able to conquer it? How can they maintain a supply line to hold it?

          I think I have answered that. China cannot send enough ships. Actually they can’t send any ship. So after the western submarines have sunk all Russian ships, how could Russia conquer it? I think they can’t.
