Russia is China's backyard oil depot
>>540394809Russia is definitely the junior of the 3 great powers. But it is the kingmaker. And US has done everything to make it side with China.
>>540394925You my bitch ?
Only in a world without large-scale manufacturing would Russia be more relevant in the future.
>>540394809Russia.China's population will crash below the U.S. population in another 30 years.Anything the Chinese can do because of automation can be done in Russia and on top of the relevant minerals.China will still be a stronger in maritime commerce and probably technology/innovation because of the aggregation of global resources, but Russia will be able to keep the gate to a huge portion of minerals.China will have to choose whether to become a satellite of American economics or Russian and that choice was made decades ago.Russia and China will trade with each other and cooperate geopolitically at times, but they will always eye each other with suspicion from the mountain ranges.Both will be equals under the American led space administration.

>>540395861"The geographical pivot of history" is what you should read.The problem is that resources are scarce and distributed across misaligned factions. China has no mineral wealth to speak of. It is all done through foreign holdings and maritime imports. We blockade them and they are done as an economy. China can never be a superpower because of this fact.Europe has scant energy resources and arable land for its population.This board should be well appraised of why Hitler needed to go east. It was for oil and the arable land to be consolidated under one national economy.Alas, that is expecting people to be more than a meme.The U.S. is the crown jewel of the planet. Vast river networks, large amounts of arable land, mineral and energy wealth in the extremes, all of it contained within one broad national identity and defensible location free from interference by foreign adversaries.Mackinder had the correct formula but, as per usual for Europeans, forgot there was another half of the planet. The U.S. is everything that makes Russia the heartland and every advantage of a maritime power with warm water ports.
>>540396004you always post your retarded blog, no one cares about your claude written slop.
>>540395433Are you one of those who think China only has 800 million people to begin with? or are you saying they'll go from 1.4 billion to 300 million people in 3 decades?
>>540396182>China has no mineral wealth to speak of.
India saar. India superpower 2030. We are CEO Microsoft google.
>>540396182>The U.S. is the crown jewel of the planet. Vast river networks, large amounts of arable land, mineral and energy wealth in the extremes, all of it contained within one broad national identity and defensible location free from interference by foreign adversaries.I agree with this statement and your general supposition about the importance of resources. But everything else you said is retardedThe problem with Russia is that most of it is basically Tundra, with very limited access to warm-water ports, and where most of its rivers flow north. Making them more or less useless. Many other rivers flow into the Caspian Sea(Volga). The only rivers that really flow out to a useful waterway are the Dnieper, which flows through Ukraine, the Amur River, which it shares with China, and the Don River. For Russia to be relevant, it needs European ports.Moreover, there is a 0% chance China's population "crashes below" America's in thirty years. America's population was 281 million in 2000. It is now 342 million. Which is a ~22% increase. It's doubtful we will even grow at that rate over the next 30 years. At most we would be at 410 million. The bottom half of China's population pyramid has twice that many people. So even if they stopped having children altogether, they would still have at least 800 million people in 30 years.You'd have to believe China is already at less than 800 million to believe that.
>>540396182>The U.S. is everything that makes Russia the heartland and every advantage of a maritime power with warm water ports.Except being an actual Heartland or having the extreme wealth of resources within it.
>>540394809No country will be "relevant" in 2050. Shit will be lit by 2045
