Oh and of course their big focus is CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA, won't help much though. IMHO the war in Ukraine is all about CHINA. We've managed to wrench the EU away from Russia but pushed them closer to Asia. Peripheral countries broadly support Russia in this war. I'd say we are in a weaker position than the end of 2021 to do WWIII. What do I know though? 😖
It abolutely is, Russia is the hinge in the emerging multipolar world because of BRICKS, because supplying resources and weapons outside of US control to much of antiimperialist block and because being somewhat a middleman between China and a some other countries, mostly India.
Flipping Russia to the west side would allow USA to create a situation where China is suddenly against most of the world.
