Khruschchev was needed to reverse Stalinistic policies. Stalin was responsible for deportation of various muslims around Soviet Union. his approach had a expiry date.Original Nixon only worked because Mao was pissed with Khrushchev due to his idiocy and the des stalinization policy. If soviet union would have elected a Stalinist leader the history would have been very different.
Putin and Xi has obviously extraordinary relations between themselves, and strategically for them is of paramount importance to have their back covered by each other.
I guess the Trump reverse Nixon to Russia is going to end much more in US and Russia carving European Union together. This has far more sense from a strategic point of view.
US NEEDS to re industrialize itself, it cannot do it at the expense of China, but it can do it easily at the expense of Europe.
Plan A of the US was to break Russia into submission and from there isolated China to blockade and change regimen there. This plan miserably failed when they were not able even to scratch Russia economically and they were not able to defeat Russia with its ukrainan proxy.
Now that realist took over the US the plan B is clear
Plan B. You realize you are not a superpower any more. If you cant defect Russia you can only dream of defeating China. Therefore you need to accept (or at least prepare) for multi polar world.
US advantages are there. It still have a lot of natural resources. It still has a wonderful geographic situation. But it has a des industrialized imperial economy that will not allow it to sustain any big power conflict
It needs industry -> Where to take it? From Europe. -> Tariffs to Europe together with relaxation with Russia and importing natural resources from there. European products become noncompetitive. European economies tanks.
Later the US can offer work visas to any European worker it needs.
With the tanking of european industries russia gets also millions of russians or russian descendant in Europe (indeed I know several russian and even one ukrainan that left EU to come back to Russia).
End. US still have issues to solve but it emerge to the new workd as one of the powers. Not as powerful as China but still a force to be reckoned
Try to fight West without Arab support?. I can write alot about Ukraine conflict that you can only understand when observe Arabic media as words cannot translate the intended meaning. I dont think Gulf Monarchies want Multipolar world because inside this Ukraine conflict are various other projects like vocational and military training to many people.
When Russia construction minister visits Uzbekistan there not just Uzbeks in the area. and this reception in Africa for Russia parliamentary delegation is not due to Russia alone.
