Ok, I think it would be a coalition of China, Russia and their “Allies”, North Korea, Belarus, Iran and maybe Cuba ( can you think of any other? )

This article presents reasons why China is not “all in” on supporting Russia given her current precarious economic situation.

So, it’s NATO and the US plus Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand and Southeast Asian countries and Israel and the Sunni Arab countries vs the above list.

Then, we also have India, which in and of itself has an ongoing border clash with China.

I’m not sure I’d put my money on the First coalition

Your coalitions are quite odd. Why do you think Sunni Arabs are going to ally with the West against China? Since when ROC and Israel have a dog in the fight? Where are Africa and Latin America in the equation? What are you think that Europe is going to stay uniform and a part of the West?

A unipolar world means that we are more likely to get what we want. It's not playing out that way.

When I wrote about the coalition forming against us, I was referring to diplomacy, not about a military confrontation or military alliances. China, India, South Africa and Pakistan all abstained on the UN resolution condemning Russia.

The Saudis aren't too happy with Biden and even many Europeans aren't either. Sure, foreigners see Putin as a thug, but they also have real reservations and objections about Biden and the USA.

This ought to be taken as a sign that there are greater limits on our influence and appeal than there were in the Clinton years. Talk about a unipolar world just hides that reality.
