      Tbf China isn't at war. This is more like being a "Russia is collapsing" person.

        Even that isnt right. Russia is a much bigger country and isnt at total war with itself.

              Russia is sort of in a war economy, but the bigger reason they're doing well is because the sanctions have forced Russia to abandon the dumbest parts of neoliberalism and instead to rely on import substitution. The sanctions also prevents the ruling class in Russia from taking their money and putting them elsewhere, which means that Europe kind of introduced capital controls on Russia, which is really funny considering Europes fierce opposition to them in any other context.

          It was a worthless comment, but I do think that the Russia watchers are less unhinged than the China watchers, because Russia has much more real trouble. Likewise, I think it's not that unhinged to view the zionist entity as getting closer to collapse.
