> cannot geostrategically survive Just seems like a 2nd cold war on steroids. Not sure why the west won't be the one to survive as opposed to Russia & China. But also, doesn't that strengthen the argument that the west must intervene? What would you rather oppose, a weaken Russia + China (not to mention a stronger NATO alliance with Finland, Sweden & Ukraine) or a stronger Russia + China?
