Surprised nobody posted about this yet, it they signed some kind of pact to provide military assistance to each other. Just heard a blip about it on the news, but I’m still heads down at work so didn’t catch what it really meant. Feel free to chime in, sorry I don’t have more info or link.

The axis is forming. Putin also announced they are changing their nuclear weapons strategy. I think we are closer to a big war than most let on.

It should have been clear to everyone 15 years ago that China, Russia, N. Korea, and Iran were and are working towards a global anti-American alliance that will define one half of WWIII.
If the old forum was around, I bet you’d find me screaming Chicken Little about it from my first days having political discussions. And I was right. Its just taking a long time to come to fruition.
One of the defining changes IMO was the Edward Snowden leaks. The enemy had no idea to what degree Western intelligence was monitoring all basic electronic communications until that moment. After which they began to obscure their communications and much of our insight into their decision making processes went dark. Prior to that, we had a good handle just how much more militarily advanced we were. Now we don’t. Except that Ukraine has shown the Russians to be knuckle draggers. But we don’t really know what China can and cannot do against us. China may not know either. A lot of unknowns when the conflict kicks off.

WW3 has started?
Much ado about the obvious, Bush had you beat by years, and I don't think Russia or China were as naive about western intelligence as you suggest.

News Flash:
South Korea, an arms manufacturer, will now be giving military air to Ukraine.
( Whose ammo would you rather load? N. Korean or South Korean? )
This supposed, "new axis" is toothless.
North Korea is a festering pustule on the butt-end of China.
More trouble than they're worth, but other options are far worse than the Kims.
The Red Army might appear to be "modern", but copy-cats don't win engagements.
Their fighters look, superficially, like modern weapons, but fractions of an inch can count.
In practice, those designs aren't worth a diddle without very well developed avionics & software.
In the South China Sea, they deploy huge numbers of "pest" ships, the crews armed with sticks!
Some of the artificial islands they've built as bases down there are already sinking!
The entire country is one big grift, and there's little "the Party" can do about it.
Do you think the build quality of China's military infrastructure is better than in those "ghost" cities?
Russia has been exposed, severely wounded, and won't be able to project power for another generation.
But ... our home-grown plutocrats need credible "opponents" to keep their own game going.
Not a real threat, of course, but a target for blame to keep the rubes nervous.
So, we put up with the inhumane behavior of N. Korea and China and Russia.
( and ignore the Hebrew South Africa )
We look good by comparison ... .

Believing a WW3 is near is exactly what the military industrial cabal wants you to think. Making munitions is big business, and business is good!

One thing Putin is right about is the fact that the next war will be fought with ones and zeros. By the way, hitting a target with an artillery shell or a ball round will still kill you no matter if it was made in N. Korea or Akron Ohio. Just sayin. 😉

This is more than a military war being fought by our “proxies”.
This is also an economic war. We must prevail in this economic war.

Biden (handlers) is pushing hard for WW3. If you think it's not heading that way then you really aren't paying attention.

It's been heading that way since the dawn of time. And Biden nor Trump nor any other man can or will do anything to either speed it up or slow it down
