Will Climate Change Drive a Wedge Between Russia and China? Really!

Some political analysts try too hard to generate attention or is it wishful thinking! Or the many abuses of climate change!

These two dictatorships need each other too much for those differences too matter very much!

"... Russia’s new climate doctrine, published in October, admits the existence of climate change, it also states that the phenomenon requires further study ..."

Chinese state-owned shipping giant COSCO to stop visiting Israeli ports

The axis of (evil) power (Russia, China, Iran) is on the move again!

Did the Chinese communists also tell the senile, demented, and corrupt 46th U.S. President better not to intervene more forcefully against a bunch Houthi militants threatening global maritime trade? What do the communists know about him and his clan! 

Or maybe China did not have to, because the sleepy, flaccid leader of the free world was vacationing again to please his First Lady Dr. Jill and longtime partner in crime could get a suntan and he could draw some lines in the sand between naps!

"Chinese state-owned shipping giant COSCO Shipping has stopped visiting Israeli ports, "Globes" has learned. The company, the fourth largest container shipping line in the world, with about 11% of world trade, decided on this step even though it is not much threatened in the Red Sea, because of the very fact that it is Chinese, and because of China’s ties with Iran, the patron of the Houthi rebels in Yemen. ..."

Fresh tensions in Korean peninsula: 2 Chinese & 4 Russian planes enter South Korean's defence zone

This was not the first time! What is going on? Are we entering World War III (as if the Russo-Ukraine War was not already a WW III)?

Is a new axis of power forming in an attempt to dominate the world?

The Axis of Disorder: How Russia, Iran, and China Want to Remake the World

Recommendable (however, I did not have the time to read the whole article)!

Since about 1900 there have been several attempts by a group of countries to form an axis of power to dominate the a region of the world or the whole world. E.g. the Axis Power (Germany, Italy,  and Japan) between 1936-1945.

"Is the world entering a new age of global disorder? Signs point to yes: we see simultaneously the biggest armed conflict in Europe since World War II, a war in the Levant, and a short, sharp war in the Caucasian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. These seemingly separate conflicts are in fact connected not just by a coincidental moment in time, but by the actors involved. From Russia to Iran to a veritable smorgasbord of terrorist groups, bad actors have unleashed turmoil in a swath of territory stretching from Ukraine to Azerbaijan to Yemen.

Behind them all stands the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Beijing has sought to give the appearance of being an independent peacemaker. But the veil it has erected is transparent in nature. It is less interested in peace, stability, and justice for the victims of aggression than it is in fostering a global state of affairs in which China can more easily pursue its own ends. For now, disorder suits Xi Jinping ... just fine. ...

The Westphalian order, and especially its modern structures, is now under threat. Moscow’s and Beijing’s imperial pretensions, though distinct, both harken to earlier eras in which their Russian and Chinese forebears had yet to buy into the Westphalian approach to international organization. The Russian cyberattack on Estonia in 2007, the invasion of Georgia in 2008, the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, and the full-scale assault on Ukraine in 2022 all made manifest what Putinistic rhetoric had long espoused: a worldview in which Russian neighbors are not sovereign states, properly understood. Russia now stands at the precipice of a return to the tsarist approach of nonstop expansion; whether Russia topples over the edge depends in large part on what happens in Ukraine. ..."
