I can’t believe people are actually just repeating the Axis of Evil talking point after it led to a war that killed a million people that these same people now admit was pointless and bad.
Stop saying axis! Liberals are now forbidden from using that word! The only 'axis' the world turns around is the western imperial core you fucking natsec dorks!
China and Russia almost definitely do have some kind of military agreement by now, there's too much talking in US about short victorious war and how relatively small Chinese nuclear arsenal is maybe we will win and even mostly survive, but they didn't announced it loudly to not escalate the situation, since there is madman with nukes on the loose in the world and people need to tread lightly.
If you listen to the latest mercouris and glenn diesen interview of ted postol you'll hear more about the american government not giving a shit about actual technical experts and the rot spreading within the american academic community
let me guess, more trade war stuff that ends up accidentally strengthening china instead of hurting it, which is what has happening again and again and again and again
I disagree for a few reasons, but I can see where you're coming from.
A lot of this depends on what happens in the next days/weeks with regard to Iran and their response to the zionist entity. Shoigu showing up in Tehran yesterday is a glaring red warning to the US, just weeks after Putin stated they would start arming Amerikkka's enemies in response to Ukrainian attacks inside Russia.
Iran's response, and just how much Russia supports it (Shoigu visiting Tehran, multiple IL-76 military cargo planes have been going back and forth between Tehran and Moscow) will be a good indicator of whether they truly intend to split from the west.
On the one hand, Russian ruling class would gladly be American lapdogs. On the other hand, American conditions for this have been unacceptable for them for a long time already, and USA doesn't seem to care in the slightest about making them more acceptable.
