Its a
'RED HERRING'
.
Russia is shooting itself in the foot with any Alliances and help from the European side of things. But there won't be any major 'WAR' between the two. Russia is expressing a state of overall 'Fear'.
China will invade!
Then Russia will only have the USA to call on for help
and the USA won't help until 'crazy' North Korea brings it into the conflict - and it will.
Politics and Military in Europe is mostly a 'default' empowerment run by the USA and the UN. Europe is letting go of 'Military Might' because of what Germany did (take up the weapon against the Jews, etc) and because of what France must do (drop the weapon against the Moslems). Europe is becoming 'progressively' Medical in its ways.
Kinda feel sorry for the Russians.
26 million killed in WW2,
became the USSR in the 'default' confrontation with the USA over Asia towards the 'Taoism' of an All White Northern Hemisphere belief.
Had to renege upon being a Communist (in alliance with China) and became a Capitalist like its former adversary - the USA.
Now it is being forced to make a decision/commitment: Be Pro-European or Pro-Asian. If it takes the former - then it will be an 'Enemy' (traitor) to China. You can't look both ways at the same time.
So maybe another 26 million Russians will die, maybe more (along with Chinese)?
...meanwhile in Australia. 22 million Australians are living the good life (one of the highest quality in the world) under the old belief that they are just poor 'down trodden' dumped by British.
Yep - all them cooking shows, sports n' leisure shows, holiday shows...
really show how 'down trodden' those poor Aussie Convicts are.
