Warring states and interesting times

 




So Russia can´t defeat Ukraine in a real war, and the US (you know, NATO´s supposed top doggie) can´t defeat Iran in a phoney war. Sure wonder if there´s a great power which can take advantage of this little situation? 

China, maybe...?

Maybe the PRC can "take over the world" through a combination of heavy handed diplomacy and very lucrative trade deals / investment opportunities. I mean, I *can* see it happening. They have rare earth minerals and gold reserves, too.

Until somebody decides to test China´s resolve to send in the People´s Liberation Army outside its Near Abroad.

I suppose we live in interesting times...
