It ' s China ' s turn , the West has been running global affairs for a couple of centuries now , seems fair to give the East a chance to see how they do . It ' s not like we were the paragons of virtue we demand they be now when we started running things . It ' s important to note that when we were busy fighting the Nazis we were still living in a segregated nation . Jim Crow was completely legal . Homosexuality wasn ' t just mocked or derided , it was actually illegal and people were beaten andor went to jail for it . So yea China and Russia running world affairs is a wee bit scary , but China is a noninterventionist as long as you let them do business and buy natural resources you can run your government however you see fit . The Russians won ' t be able to hold Europe let alone any of our landmass , they just want their Baltic states back and a fair amount of more respect on the international stage . It ' s always been this way with Russia , like literally always . They may be a huge country geographically speaking but population wise they just don ' t have the numbers . MAAD is still a thing so what a global realignment with Russia and China at the helm means is that instead of US getting to skim off the top of global trade , they get to . GDP will be lessened but daily life will more or less continue as normal . India is well on its way to becoming a humanitarian and democratic beacon for the world . The arc of history is still towards more egalitarianism and the free movement of people .
