RT WarintheFuture: “Both Moscow and Beijing have crafted alternative ideational programs that contain blends of authoritarianism, statism, & nationalism as well as appeals to history, “traditional values,” & cultural conservatism.” Terrific report by ⁦@AaronFriedberg⁩ https://www.csis.org/analysis/world-blocs
A World of Blocs

This essay by Aaron Friedberg outlines three evolving geopolitical groupings—U.S.-aligned democracies, an “authoritarian axis” led by China and Russia, and the Global South—and explores how the United States and partners should navigate this changing global order.

⬆️ Nothing says “traditional values & cultural conservatism” like invading one's neighbours and genociding them. Ad infinitum.

That's how their empires got started and they simply never learned to respect the peoples in their ever-expanding periphery.
