The Russia take makes no sense. They already have physical defense. They’re just trying to re-carve their sphere that they had.

China has no need for invading Afghanistan. They’re just gonna make clever minimalistic deals with the Taliban to extract rare metals and such. That’s all they need there.

China’s Achilles heel is their burning desire for Taiwan and to always save face, as well as their imports of oil. Other than that they’re a tough enemy.

I’m glad Biden recalibrated towards taking on the CCP since they’re clearly our largest threat and also the free worlds.
