  1. Russia cannot confront all of NATO directly. Doing so finishes Russia within a year, despite it's size. China's allies are all quite weak; 3 out of 4 nuclear armed, yes, but collectively NATOs nuclear missiles match the number of the "Axis of Evil", only because of Russia. The Soviet Union came to an accord with NATO 35 years ago, under Gorbachev, ending the Cold War. Not just because Gorbachev was friendly to the West, but mainly because the Soviet Union was bankrupt and could not sustain (back then) cost of armament and miitary technology parity with the West with a moribund economy. The CCP launched it's military challenge too early to have an overwhelming buildup in ships and warplanes to challenge the US and it's allies (including some NATO allies). Even in the excess warships (counting hulls, not tonnage), the PLAN ships are not as technologically advanced as the US and Pacific allies and it's sailors are not as well trained. The CCP's idological desire to launch an attack on Taiwan is driven by 2 factors; 1. XI jinping's obsession about this and 2. The failed "Wolf Warrior" diplomacy act as a cover-up for causing the Covid19 pandemic out of Wuhan, China. These investigations are still stymied by the CCP and aggressive denial may be cover for guilt. Especially if "gain of function" germ warfare was pursued. Given the secrecy about this, and other coverups by the CCP such as the genocide of Uyghers in Xinjiang, and other concurrent Crimes Against Humanity by the CCP, we should certainly not trust the word or actions of the CCP these days.
