I figured China would be watching this very closely. Think about it… we are their only real roadblock, so assuming Russia gets the US out of the way, it wouldn’t be that hard for China to go after Russia.

Exactly. We depend on China for so much of or manufactured goods etc. All China has to do is bide their time and wait for Trump to destroy the American economy. They can easily assume role as world’s superpower. This is how stupidly dangerous Trump is.

Trump is making US subservient to Russia.

Russia is a vassal state of China.

New alliance and hierarchy:

🇨🇳

🇷🇺

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷🇰🇵

kafkablue.bsky.social•22 hours ago

My prediction:

As Europe+allies back 🇺🇦 against 🇺🇸+🇷🇺, and things come to a head, 🇨🇳 will swoop in, secure a better deal for 🇺🇦 in return for increased access to 🇪🇺 market and 🇺🇦 redevelopment.

The outcome will be to elevate 🇨🇳 to the new hegemon.

onegameh.bsky.social•22 hours ago

And there you have it. The other shoe drops.

America will align with Russia and if they go to war, they’ll be that much weaker - so China will swoop in.

They just signed an agreement with Brazil that they can trade using their own currencies and no longer need to trade using the dollar. With each country that does this, and they're all lining up to, our waning relevance slips further and further down the drain.

Maybe, but if I were Ukraine or the EU I would invite China to the table for trade talks and to force Russia out of the conquered territories. China being pragmatic and more rational than the US now would be willing to rein Russia in, and I they are pretty tired of Putin. This will break US hegemony

China HAS been taking advantage.
While Trump's underlying racist superiority actions haven't been openly exclaimed, our presence in Africa is rapidly declining. The only thing faster is China's movements to replace us.
Maybe they know more about 'rare earth minerals.'

mcsnerd.bsky.social•22 hours ago

No one's done more to ensure a Red Century for China than Trump. He's crapped more goodwill, influence, and actual power away than any other president. China will reap the benefits. It didn't have to be this way and I'm not sure why it is. But it sucks.
