Nationalist Russia versus the Globalist rest of the world
Posted on 1/24/21 at 7:03 am to BRIllini07
Russia hasnt been a superpower since the Soviet Union collapsed. It has lots of nukes but is otherwise a 2nd tier nation. And has fallen closer in line with China. Joint military exercises, etc.
The better question is where the Anglo bloc will fall - UK, Canada, Australia as well as the EU. NATO would likely fracture.
Asia would be a big factor as well. Several nations are resentful of China's hegemony but are either dependent on it or understand its interests are closer to theirs.
India a huge factor as Pakistan is one of China's closest allies. South Korea and Japan are overt US allies in the neighborhood.

Don’t exactly know who vs who but you can bet China will be a player.

Nuclear weapons has eliminated most risk of another world war between the big players.

Mutually Assured Destruction Doctrine at play here.
Even if not nuclear, economically US needs China. China needs the US.
If one day all imports from China would stop because of a conflict how long before we start running out of key electronic devices or cheap things like office supplies. It would take months if not years to rebuild that manufacturing base again.
I never could grasp the concept of shipping your manufacturing to other countries like China and shipping it back and letting your trade secrets out only to be undercut by a Chinese manufacturer.
I do understand business and that if certain items were made in the US it would cost exponentially more.
