You know WWI set England to sunset as the world power and their reserve currency status also tanked afterward as power shifted to the United States.
If Russia and the United States directly go at it, I feel certain we will repeat this difficult transition process of decline in our own nation. China will likely become the benefactor as they have been preparing for decades now to supplant the US. We would be doing them a favor by significantly damaging our military power in backwater Ukraine.
And yes I am aware China is financially insolvent and has significant downside factors that threaten to destabilize it, but our nation also is basically insolvent with our own set of downside factors (mainly the divisive tactics and ideologies thrown in everyone's face daily by our media).
My thinking is we go to war with Russia over something stupid. No matter the outcome of that war, China wins. China cements itself as the new world reserve currency and possibly a military superpower, China destabilizes inside of 50 years, a new nation or power takes over in the vacuum.
I was making a point about the immediate consequences of war with Russia and how this would be similar to England in WWI. I also added at the end that I don't see China being able to hold onto power in the intermediate term.

I don't think you know who bankrolled and owns China.
Feel free to write that chapter below.
