    no chance China will be “eliminated”. The Russian federation may collapse

    Without Russia, the US can shut down China with a naval blockade.

    The Russian federation may collapse, but I can’t see how that would impact EU negatively?

    About 2001 Putin offered to create a joined economic zone between EU and Russia but the EU declined. Now the best case scenario would be Russia crumbling, and joining the EU. What’s the difference? Was Russia so corrupt that we couldn’t make it happen, even not with a plan that layed out steps to end the corruption?

    The US doesn’t accept a challenger in Asia. The US is a naval power that controls the world by controlling the shipping lanes. If the EU would span over Asia no shipping would be needed. The US would lose their power. To prevent that the EU will be destroyed should it have the possibility to achieve that. It could already be happening.

        The reaction must have been the same in 2001. That arrogance will cost us dearly because now it’s China that is getting Russia’s resources.

        We will try to prevent it, that’s why we have Readiness 2030. Russia doesn’t need more land, but the US cannot let China and Russia join forces or they will lose their hegemonial position.
