Thanks for the quick response @vincent appreciate it much.
Yes, it's true Chinese troops did not cross into South Vietnam to fight US, but neither did US troops cross into North Vietnam with infantry-land force to fight Chinese troops, because US knew of Mao Zedong's threat of 1 million man intervention into North Vietnam if US crossed the 17th parallel, on top of the existing 40,000 annual peak force of Chinese combat troops in North Vietnam.
Russian inflation is already at 15%, and predicted to hit 50% by year end.

There's no need to supposition, we've seen how it played out with Russia.
Why does the West hate Putin so much? Because he single-handedly took the country out from under the West's thumb. Remember when the West used to consider Russia an ally? That was during the Yeltsin era, when Russia was controlled by Oligarchs.
Forget about labels. The US doesn't care whether China called itself communist, socialist, or capitalist. What they cared about was how much control they had.
The expectation was for China to go the way of Japan and South Korea, where a capitalist class subservient to Western interests controls the government. Under such an arrangement, China would be subject to economic harvests through manufactured financial crises. They even had delusions of imposing a Plaza Accord on China.
It was all delusions of course, but they wallowed in it. What really woke them up was when China, shortly after the anti-corruption campaign, purged the CIA network in the country. That was when they realized that they no longer had any control over Chinese politicians.
By use words as "Chinese are cucks lol" in your reply to my post. You were covertly trying to portray my position as far more critical of PRC than it was. It's a potentially useful strategy to get a rise out of posters holding contradictory positions against the predominant view of this forum.
Here is another reality. Given the current advantages US still holds in military, economy, media, technology and alliances, US could afford to make mistakes. It's simply too early to realistically talk about US receiving its deserved comeuppance.

That's a hilariously bad example. Why would China want to fight the US directly in Vietnam? All China did was to warn the US not to attack North Vietnam, and the US never did. If anything, that's a demonstration of Chinese power.
$20 trillion was so last year, its $30 trillion now, will be $50 trillion next year
This does not include unfunded liabilities btw, some of the financial folks I keep watch in twitter are speculating that US already has like $60+ trillion in debt.
