China and Russia and pretty even military wise, but Russia retains a large nuclear arsenal and more variety of weapons and technology, plus their defense industry in innovation and production is ahead.

Not sure what you mean by Russia reconquering what Stalin took; what did Stalin take?
There are no claims by China on Siberia. There are many regions around the world where there's economic migration, such as the Mexicans in the United States, often with the mutual understanding between the two states.

The US is more concerned with China and Iran at the moment since confrontations with Russia appear to be at an impasse unless they want to take it to where it presents an existential threat to both sides.

All 3 threaten our allies, but only Russia and Iran violently meddle in the affairs of their neighbors. A sanctioned Iran is effectively weakened enough to be contained. China relies on the American economy, and Russia on China's, so its mostly Russia that we most concerned with. But we are winning so we aren't really that concerned.

The Ice Age squirrel has been quiet lately since Merkel announced Germany will be building a LNG terminal to import American gas.

Trump has a pattern of "abandoning" treaties in order to tweak the old agreements

INF like NAFTA

Everything out of this administration is overly dramatic as in reality TV and network news. It may be a backdoor to force Iran and China to scrap missiles under development by getting them into a new multilateral treaty. All three countries have been threatened with war in the last five years.

Interesting analysis from Kagaranov on the new Cold War

My opinion since the late 90's is that it we've been in the next global war WW4 since the fall of the Soviet Union as it took a considerable amount of time to take out the non-aligned states and establish military occupation of much of the rest of the world, especially after seeing the presentation at the Army War College.

Very interesting Ichi.

I wonder just what Germany will do in the new Eurasia. The fate of Poland is sealed, a vassel state of America. France, Romania, Hungary, Scandanavia?

Under INF repeal, they become a civilian shield for the US like that often employed in Syria. They become pawns in a limited tactical nuclear war.

Germany has an american missile defense system. They are actually a vassal of America when it comes to military.

France alone has the capability to turn western Russia into a lake of fire. They have the SAMP/T air defense system for the ground and the PAAMS at sea. Good luck touching France.

Romania recently ordered a Patriot 3 system to compliment Poland's and their American AEGIS SM-3 site. They are also fielding 12 F-16s since last year, which isn't a bad start to upgrading from Russian junk.

Hungary is landlocked between allied nations and not too important for NATO defense.

Scandinavia: Norway is adding military bases in the north, and has about 40 F-35s on order, maybe half have been delivered by now. Sweden recently requested permission to purchase a Patriot system. Finland is beefing up their navy.

Hats off to Putin, not only did he finalize the independence of the Ukrainian nation but he brought together NATO and its partners like nobody thought possible.

All are good news.
The more the US is trying to corner Russia, the more things are coming to an inevitable end)))

P.S. It was not "Putin" that "finalized Ukrainian independence," it's the Brzesinsky's doctrine, that American politicians keep on pursuing, trying to destroy Russia since the 90ies.
Good luck with that)))

Nordstream 3 is probably going to be needed

https://tomluongo.me/2018/10/25/germ...-nordstream-2/

In addition to the LNG terminal, Germans will own the transport rights for LNG from the US, cutting them out of the transit fees. The terminal will receive shipments from Qatar, Russia, and other suppliers. I've heard the real reason for European interest in LNG is to resell to Asian customers who are paying much higher prices.
