Yes, Beno,
it won’t be long before the world realises that the pact that Putin has made with Xi is more than just supporting each other economically from both being cut off from the world once they are both at war with the world.
We know, thanks to Putin’s bizarre rant recently that he dreams of reinstalling the USSR empire, being a child of that era. But of course, the conditions for creating the USSR again now are very different to what they were in the early 20 C and post WW2 periods. Putin will face a united Europe and US front, just as Hitler did. So, it is strange to me that Putin is even considering such folly. There must be more to his plan.
Enter China. In my view, China has even greater expansion plans than Russia. But both know that they will be exiled from the world’s economy and trade. As such, they will have to work in sync and provide for each other’s needs.
In short, Putin will eventually attempt to live out his childhood fantasy, and Xi the same, by taking Taiwan and hoping to defeat the US 7th Fleet in doing so.
If achieved, little will stand in the way between China coming to claim their holdings in Australia once they all become null and void when we are at war with them when they attack Taiwan.
Our allies in Europe will be occupied with Putin, leaving our northern waters vulnerable to Chinese further expansion.
All dependent though on the 7th Fleet being defeated or seriously wounded. Not a totally unrealistic proposition.
In the late 1930’s, Europe would have laughed at you if you suggested that in a very short period, the Nazi’s will take France very quickly.
The world order can change very quickly.
