So my biggest fear for more than a decade was a Sino-Russian alliance, China’s tech, manpower and … grinding ambition combined with Russia’s infinite resources.
Thankfully Xi, and his overwhelming greed, managed to neutralize most of that, while driving away most of his most competent administrators in favor of political hacks.
That being said, the US needs to get their stuff together too, Biden is doing fine parrying Russia in Europe and China in Asia, but there’s a whole new theater opening up in Africa and South America that is completely vulnerable and we are not attending at all. We look like we might be outflanked there.
