  1. The west isn't perfect, far from it but when you look at it and look from the average person of pretty much any country, which rule would you rather live under? Simply put, the west offers a better future than the likes of China or Russia offers, what they offer is threats, intimidation and fear and because of that, I can't see them ever really being a rival to the west because countries that actually want better for their people will always likely flock under the umbrella of the west and I think this is where a lot of these countries like China and Russia doesn't understand. On top of that, these countries are too controlling even over its own people, it's highly unlikely they can be as successful as an open society like the west. Just look at the debt trap that's going on in Africa from China, what's the likely outcome from that over the long run? A lot of debt for the African people that they can't afford, the aim being is for China to take full control but all that is going to do is turn the African people against China which the west will be more than happy to step in and help. Ultimately, the ones that will likely win out when it comes to alliance building are the ones that offer something worth fighting for, something that benefits and makes peoples lives better, now ask yourself, does that sound like China or Russia? like I said, the west is far from perfect, but they can help to enrich peoples lives across the board for countries that get close to them, that's far more valuable than what Russia and China offers. In any case, it would be amusing to see Russia under the bootstrap of China, a country with such pride like Russia, I doubt the people or government would like the idea of being second fiddle to China but that's how it's likely going to go.
