It’s been hot.
Putin/Russia, China, and every other country run by someone above the level of idiot knows the radical left/dems have allied with radical muslims.
They are making their move to get territory now so they don’t have to expend wealth and manpower to conquer that territory later.
They’re creating “buffer zones” around their countries.
Russia and China both have muslim problems and know it’s just a matter of time before the radical left in this country encourages their muslim allies to rise up against them.
The radical left in this country are using the same tactics the Russians and Chinese used during the cold war, using proxy fighters to fight their wars.
So in your world, we are evil, and communist China and Russia are the good guys.
Amazing.
