Russia/China have been planning for this for decades; while the USA and their allies have been celebrating the fall of the Soviet Union and bragging about how great we are because of what Russia allowed us to think was victory; when in reality, to them it was "to be continued" after the USD ran its natural course as world currency which, when based on fiat and not backed by gold, always ends in ruin.

Brilliant, I have been trying to tell people this very thing for years. Ever since my buddy who is a director at the Rand Corps think tank told me about w2hat was being planned.
The USA is a young, brash bully of a Country. We as a Nation of idiots do not understand that we are up against much older and more experienced tacticians. Russia and China have had a nifty plan going ever since Gorbachev became more "friendly". This allowed the USA to fear Communism less and even to invest heavily in moving manufacturing to China.
How do you win a long game against a bully when nukes will result in mutually assured destruction?
1. Get the bully to let down his guard.
2. Get the bully to develop a dependance on you for goods.
3. Stop doing business with the bully.
The USA will tear itself apart when the BRICS Nations refuse to do any business with the USA. Sadly the time to change or save the USA from the inevitable has long passed. We will bend over and take it up the rear before we go to war with Russia and China.
