Without the stability the US has provided the last 70 years it will be very difficult to apply the brakes on your potential runaway escalation. Honestly, I believe the Chinese and Russians are aware of the dangers once the process starts. To avoid the Armageddon you suggest I’m confident the CCP and Russians have met and come to some accord similar to the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact. There are plenty of spoils to divvy up as China and Russia pick over the carcass of what once was the greatest society the world has ever saw. No point blowing up the world when the fascists in DC will present the US to our enemies if only given a little more time.
