Even if the war stops now, Russia will still be locked in a competition with NATO and Europe for years afterwards. And Europe is many times larger in terms of population and productive capacity, and is rearming.

Russia will struggle to match this, so it will be consumed with this competition.

---

And if China is wealthier and more technologically advanced than the USA or Europe, then Russia should respect that.
There is no competition. The previous cold war happened because Saudi-US agreement of 1945 that led to liberation of most of Global South and divisions of India. They did not spare even Yugoslavia.
This Europe does not have Royal support. It only choice is residing under New Europe.
you can already observe the power of New Europe. Modi admitting that future is of poverty after meeting UAE president.

Russia has long surpassed Europe in metric of Hard Power. The only thing left is Soft Power which Putin slowly turning the screws on characterless population and encourage practically all of them move to Far East. where they will learn new skills and reeducated.
The last link will give you the answer why Putin is confident about Russian science and this demographic redistribution.

Russia's core population, economic and industrial interests are located in European Russia, right next to Europe.
China is too far away to directly threaten or influence European Russia.

So I don't see Russia going against China. The worse case scenario is Russia being neutral between China and Europe.
Russia core interests are in Asia / Arctic there most of new minerals are located on which Industries of 21st century will be based and export/Imports will happen through Arctic and Far East.
All the big summits are done in Kazan. I believe Russia-ASEAN summit will be in Kazan. Europe is declining continent that will be beholden to Royal Kingdoms. If Russians need anything from Europe it can get through Royal Kingdoms. The Russians i am referring to has the same mind set as Kim Jung Un but exceedingly wealthy decades ago and that culture Putin want the rest of Russians to adopt as Putin thinks Russia has limitless talent/ wealth they just need those values.

The same Eurocucks who folded like a spent wet tissue against Taco Bell Don during the 2025 Liberation Day prelude? Bring it on indeed.
EU folded against Trump not because they are weak in terms of economics or trade. But because they are mentally enslaved by the anglo empire and are desperate not to anger Trump too much and break the US alliance.

But EU has no such desire to appease China. The opposite is true. EU under its current leadership is extremely anti-China.

They would rather blow up their economy than compromise with China.

So, I dont see EU folding at all. I actually expect China to fold, like they have always done, against the west when it comes to trade issues.

This is what I expect. EU takes extreme anti-China protectionist measures. China does some symbolic retaliation. Then after a few years China reverses those retaliations to "improve" ties. But EU actions remain.

This is how China has operated against the likes of Australia, Canada and so on. Too much pragmatism is a problem

Lithuania and Poland are part of the EU. Why didn't they commit economic suicide instead of whining about China and not actually do it?

All these tough talks only sound nice in the short term where they don't have to commit for the long dig in.

The WSJ Free Expression opinion section seems to publish more and more unhinged content for clicks. I just read one article advocating for boots in Iran and how the incredible full power of the American military will “accelerate the collapse of the Iranian regime”, as if the shitburger of rescuing that pilot and whatever 20 years of Afghanistan occupation was not illustrative enough of “full power”.

If you've watched Shark Tank, Kevin O'Leary was the one that would humiliate those looking to get investment for their cost of production being too high. And where did he say he would go to make things cheaper to produce...? Chynna! Even at that time outsourcing was seen as bad for the American worker. The corporate types are always the last ones to get the message especially when someone like Mr. Wonderful tends to blows with the political wind in the US. That's why O'Leary was seen as the sharkiest of the sharks there. As he admits on the show he only cares about the money. But of course now he's on the anti-China train but he still don't give a shit about the American worker because he's gone gung ho over AI.
