Simply answer is no, for all the noise that the likes of Russia and China like to make, the results of their actions have to have a positive impact on a lot of people around the world for it to have any real impact on the world order.
For all the faults of the world order we have today set by the west, especially the EU and US, it's still far better than what Russia or China is offering and to change the world order, you need to get a lot of countries onside, the EU and US are in a far better position to do that then Russia and China is and seriously, what is Russia and China really offering? threats?, intimidation? very weak foundations in changing the world order, in other words, Russia and China are no threat to the world order because they don't really offer anything better than the system we have in place and unless they do, good luck convincing enough countries to change that order.
In fact, I'll go one step further, Russia is lashing out now because it's not getting it's way, China is smarter than Russia and playing the long game but even then, it's not offering anything better than the west is offering, that's what really counts in all this and until anyone else offers a better system then the world order we have, countries are going to continue to line up behind the EU and US, probably more so now with Russia trying to destabilize things.

@DaniRaj666 Maybe but the reason the west is so successful and winning is because what they offer the world is better than the alternatives that the likes of China and Russia offers.
In the end, you have to ask yourself, how many people would want to live under a world order from the likes of Russia or China?, the west are no angels and the system isn't perfect but it's far better than what others are offering.
Because of all that, the EU and US won't have any problems getting countries lining up behind them whereas the likes of Russia and China will have a hard time getting countries onboard and even then, half the time, those countries are screwing each other over just like China is doing with Russia in pushing them into selling oil and gas really cheap to them.
Simply put, if we want a new world order, it has to be a system that is better than what the west currently offers, that isn't China or Russia, hence why those two countries are destined to lose, heck, let's be blunt about this, if trade from the west was to stop with China and Russia, it would cripple them, whereas the west have alternatives to those two countries whereas these two countries don't really have alternatives to the rich west.
What I think is going to happen is the EU, US and countless other countries will become closer together, Russia will be much weaker and in the pocket of China, many countries will stay out of it all but most that want a better future will likely side closer with the west, after all, I suspect not many countries want to live under the rules that China and Russia offer.
