        How original.

        Though i must admit that as a german the irony that we former villains are now increasingly considered potential saviors of the liberal democracy is greatly amusing to me. And pretty scary in light of our current political tendencies

      Yeah they’re great. Their domestic politics are great. Not at all fascist. This is fine. Everything is fine.

    I have to say it says third but it still seems about 50mil us and russia is supposedly twice that so I don’t see how this makes them third. Honestly india, taiwan, japan, and south korea if they would form a mutual asia defence pact would be about on par with china. maybe they could even convince australia to be a part of it or make it a pacific form of nato and rope in canada.
