>>14245596Nah, you're ignoring the fact that Russia and China might act like allies but they SHARE A BORDER and thusly are incredibly suspicious of each other -- they are always waiting for the other side to strike and take territory.
That is the main thing that works against Russia and China colluding. If Russia, already committed to multiple wars, commits more troops to fighting the US? They will fear Chinese invasion. And China is even more conservative, they never commit their forces because they are terrified of their own cities going rogue and forming their own city-states like Taiwan or Hong Kong, or Russia straying across their border.
The US has reigned on top for so long because they other heavyweights have a DONT TRUST ANYBODY Stone Cold Steve Austin philosophy that keeps them always looking over each other's shoulders.
