China made trade groups with their regional rivals, so no, we do not see a similar response. China’s response is rooted in win-win diplomacy that improves the material conditions of all parties involved. It is less a moral calculation and more a material one that creates a moral authority.

Yes and that is a winning strategy. As another ml account highlighted, war with the global north did not end well for the USSR, which comparatively speaking was much more a peer in terms of power than the current Russia. China’s strategy is the one that recognizes that the tactics available flow down stream from material conditions.
Isn’t Brazil part of BRICS? Their strategy isn’t just to avoid war, they are building soft power at a time when the USA is burning goodwill for short term gain (though with Iran the only gains seem to be oil profits).
And yet China manages to take the high road with Taiwan, Japan, India, etc.
Ahh yes, “liberating” a population by bombing them. A policy shared by both NATO and Russia. Both should look at China’s example for an alternative path.

I think nitrogen fertilizer made that possible more so than oil
I mean private planes will still fly and there will still be food that goes to waste. People starving isn’t because of oil shortages but because the rich won’t eat the cost and rather kick people onto the street. Now the fertilizer shortage on the other hand…
You joke, but California’s high speed rail is looking into renting capacity to AI.
Costs me $45 to take a train from fresno to San Francisco, there ain’t no way I can get a plane ticket that cheap.
I have hauled my kids, with luggage and car seats, on a train. I have also taken my bicycle which I attach luggage to, and had work send me home with a box full of equipment. What are you talking about?
