Frosted Flake posted:Big picture, Russia needs to be taken off the board before pivoting to China, even moreso now that de-dolarization is starting, countries like Egypt are joining BRICS etc. Isn't this the military strategy of Germany/Japan in WW2? Both Germany and Japan tried to rely on surprise and speed to knock out one side of the opponent and race to the other side to face the other opponents. Both Germany and Japan tried to avoid "two front war" because they had less access to oil and industrial strength to fight long term war. It was smart for Russia to retreat from Kherson and setup the trenches for long term conflict. Turning the war long term relies much more on industrial output capacity, and much less on NATO intelligence and reconnaissance.

DancingShade posted:The EU is definitely on the decline on the whole and if the US ever stops propping up NATO expect it to collapse as everyone starts grabbing the remaining pie. Slowest EU nation to act gets the tab. It's going to be Germany. Macron is already pushing for independent EU foreign policy in the middle of the Ukraine war. Funny thing about Macron is he doesn't walk back on the things he said during visit to Beijing. Other fence sitters like little Marcos would say one thing in Beijing and say different things when he get back home. Macron hasn't changed his tune. There is even rumor of him attending the upcoming BRICS summit. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 16:10 on Jun 15, 2023 |

I don't see the EU really breaking up in so far, there isn't a strong reason for the French/German rivalry to return, and most of Western Europe really doesn't have an actual issue with each other. It is really the Balkans/Eastern Europe where it is going to be more hairy. The Germans are will always bank on Mittleeuropa, and if the "experiment in the East" fails again for a third time, they will go back to what they normally do and make a deal with the Russians in exchange for dominating Central Europe as they normally do. There isn't a real reason to break up Schengen or trade, Europe is just too interdependent at this point. The big shift will be just being more reliant on trade and investment from China and potentially cheap energy from the Russians again.

Frosted Flake posted:While I dig around for something answering this, it's worth remembering that these people have as close to no self-awareness as you can imagine. For example, published this year, Plato Goes to China: The Greek Classics and Chinese Nationalism, which is essentially a book about how all of the Chinese students we smugly educated in elite western universities about how we're the heirs of Classical Greece had the nerve to universalize those philosophers and see China as part of a global civilization. Its hilarious that they're mad that Chinese might have a different interpretation of the same texts because they're not the same interpretations their teachers told them were the right ones.

Frosted Flake posted:Springer has put out a bunch of books on China, NATO and Ukraine I’ve been meaning to read these past few months, but my understanding is that they all say Russia needs to be defeated for NATO to do the same thing to China (the real threat) and save the “Post Cold War Order”. In the recent (upcoming) temporary truece one item China got out of US is that the US has allowed all TSMC and 2 S. Korean semiconductor companies (basically the big 3) expand their plants in China. So China still consider economic growth more important than outright supporting Russia. There going to be a few more Sino-US deals announced in Nov when Xi visit US. Russia is not doing too badly in the war so China doesn't need to publicly take a side yet.

"The West wants to take out Russia so they can pivot to China" isn't really comparable to what Germany or Japan did because the latter was through direct military conquest from one front to another.

I remember when the troubles in Venezuela were going on the BBC sent its reporter to interview a 'normal Venezuelan'. So he goes into the totally normal house thats huge, just a huge kinda McMansion style house complete with grand piano in the background. They very much supported Guaido.

There going to be a few more Sino-US deals announced in Nov when Xi visit US. Big brain foreign policy people see this as corporate interests weakening US hegemony,  "The changing alignment of US corporate and geopolitical interests regarding China is summarized in Table 4. There is not a period in which US corporations compete with their Chinese counterparts while the United States is China’s geopolitical ally (bottom row, left). We could put the US–Europe or the US– Japan relation there as a substitute. US corporations always saw European and Japanese corporations as competitors, even as the United States was in a formal alliance with Europe and Japan under NATO and the US–Japan Security Pact. Table 4 shows that while US geopolitical interests have conflicted with China’s most of the time, US corporate interests vary. Only when corporate and geopol- itical interests align on the side of enmity does Washington turn to a more antagonistic posture toward China. Varying US corporate interests in China are, in turn, a result of China’s changing political economy. Both the economic interests of capital (as definied from a Marxian perspective) and the geopolitical interests of the state (as defined from a Weberian perspective) are significant in shaping the US–China relationship."
