IN MY OPINION

If a World war broke out and it was NATO vs Russia & China. I would see the Ruskies and Chinese as the "good guys", don't get me wrong, I don't trust the Ruskies one bit. China on the other hand, don;t seem to want world dominance, just the area around them (Taiwan etc). They both look fed up with the western powers trying to bully the world and tell them what to do.

For years now, the American's have tried to bring democracy to the world, which is hypocritical as a journalist on an American talk show rightfully said. I'm personally getting fed up with it, but it's not just the Americans, we (Britain) "try" to do it aswell. Obviously we don't have as much of an influence on the world as we used to (when we had our mighty empire), but we still try to.

Buuuuuuuuut that's just my opinion.

Well alrighty-im glad you would "pick" Russia/China. Im not sure what im suppose to say here except this type of thinking seems like something a kid would do. This isnt a basketball or football game...not sure i would "pick sides" that just seems childish. WWIII isnt in ANYONE's favor.

I'm not picking sides, I'll fight for my country no matter what. I'm just saying that those two countries seem to be pissed of at USA and UK for intevening in foreign affairs and bullying other countries.

The west are at least democracies and answerable to their people, the same can't be said about China. And China is involved in Africa, I think if they had the same power capability as the US they'd be involved in several parts of the world

I'm not convinced that Russia and China would work together in such a situation.

I mean, sure the Russians have no problem selling military hardware to the Chinese. But the Chinese seem to screw them over, every chance they get.

Selling them an aircraft carrier hull for a "casino". Right...
Selling them a few Sukhois only to have them reverse engineer them and build unlicensed copies. Didn't see that coming...

The Russians have been taking what they can get. They are still on the road to recovery from the collapse of the 1980's. So I think they put up with China out of necessity.

In a war, that trade agreement might go out the window.
