1. Russia has likely depleted its supplies of Iskander and other high-end munitions. I would imagine that some of the guidance and other high-tech parts of the missiles require parts that Russians don't have and can't buy.
2. If China were to help Russia, our sanctions could destroy the Chinese economy. China plays the long game. Destruction of Russia's military will make China the only superpower on the Asian continent. I think the deal that Xi negotiated for oil and gas is still in effect
3. and Russia is likely getting well-below market for the energy they supply China. I expect Putin will lash out at the Chinese when they turn a deaf ear to Putin's desperate cries to save him from his Ukrainian Waterloo that I predicted before the shooting started.
4. Were you ever a lifeguard? Drowning people are dangerous.
