  1. The Soviets were collaborating with the Axis, until they were backstabbed by the Nazis. Even then their neutrality towards Japan meant they were able to fuel their forces even longer than would otherwise have been possible.

  2. More like anti-Putinist.

  3. China also has a much simpler, almost single-issue platform: basically achieve "national glory" by "reunify Táiwān" and "win-win cooperation" without truly listening to the desires of the other side. This as BRI "partners" are finding out makes for frustrating negotiations as the vague goals are just as often used to excuse Běijīng from its disappointing project performance and ducking out of its own guarantees.

  4. BRICS is basically exploring a global order without the core Western economies. So far they're proving that Western values develop the human capital and provide the governing competency needed to actually build up towards their dreams.

  5. Or basically just Netanyahu and his cronies, who need to stay in office to shield themselves from their long list of criminal allegations. Israelis themselves indicate they're done making their point with Hamas.

  6. But it's definitely scared of what will happen after the Americans really do go home.

  7. Plot twist: CIA and other IC agencies watch these Youtubers because they're doing all the tedious open source analysis, leaving them free to gather and compile the really secret squirrel stuff.

  8. "Multipolar" just means multiple fault lines for conflict, any of which can quickly turn into a devastating industrialized war. Ukraine is only a taste of what will happen to other parts of the world when these other "poles" commit to asserting their polarity.

  9. The process though of establishing those "checks and balances" will be incredibly bloody, possibly nuclear. Remember the last time we had a "multipolar" world was with a rising Central Europe and Japan, which led straight into two world wars. There's a reason Pax Romana, Pax Mongolica, Pax Britannica, and Pax Americana are named after a single military power: that consolidation offered the stability for like a third of humanity at the time to freely trade in a secured environment.
