I do see a US / Russia alliance coming soon. Russia has a vast manufacturing sector and can produce good very quickly and in quantity, however they need the US's help is getting the quality of those products increased as well as better supply chain management. I also see the two countries doing a joint venture energy alliance. This will send the EU into a tail spin.
Well one thing for sure that China and Russia make, cheaply and with SOME modicum of quality, is AK-47s and 7.62x39 ammo. They could flood America with them and we'd buy them up by the pallet loads.
Side story: I remember when the very first surplus Russian SKS rifles came to America. I was at a gun show and this dealer had crates of them. He'd open up a crate with a crowbar, pull out this strange-looking rifle that none of us had ever seen before, covered in cosmoline, wipe it down, and sell them for $65 each. I bought my very first SKS that day (and some ammo), took it home, looked up how to disassemble and clean the thing. This was in the days BEFORE the internet, so I had to look in my book "Small Arms Of The World" to see the instructions.
Got my fist SKS at Woolworths in a mall for $99.00, and they had a pallet of that Russian Wolf ammo at $ .99 a box. Fun times indeed. Import real Russian made Izhmash AK-47 Rifles and sell them cheap? I'm all in LOL!!

Good times!
Take into account the tariffs on Chinese ammo.
