this century's sickman of europe is russia.

obama made some major tactical errors, right when putin was about to be check mated. but it just let him play the game out.

the chinese are still ultimately a terrible ally, and still ultimately keen on taking control of the eastern part of asia for themselves.

expect an eventual russian dismemberment. the western preoccupation in doing so may, in the end, be the factor that allows the chinese to win, outright.

in the long run, a united asia under state socialism will be good for prosperity and peace. but, it will require a struggle for civil rights.
