 This would be a Chinese world, an American, a Chinese world, and Russia would be a non-entity. And it would be very clear to the Russians. Russia alone cannot sustain a battle against the West. Russia has to have China. I'm not sure that China has to have Russia. The advantage that China has in having Russia is that Russia can keep Europe and the U.S. occupied in Europe, and China can work to try to dominate Asia. And that's why China would like to have Russia. But Russia becomes then a satellite state. Putin becomes a satellite of Xi. Xi becomes the dominant player in the world outside of the United States of America. So Russia loses no matter what. Even if it gets Chinese support, Russia as a power, Russia as a force, Russia as an entity that needs to be dealt with in the world is finished, basically.
