“Is the U.S. Creating an Axis of Doom?”

As the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues and the Israel-Hamas crisis deepens, new geopolitical forces are reshaping the world.

“World’s Most Dangerous Combination: China and Russia,” warned Gordon G. Chang for the Gatestone Institute on December 25, 2023.

It was a Christmas Day warning for the ages.

“China and Russia are more than just working together,” Chang began ominously. “They are forming the core of a new axis. Around this core are proxies and proxies of proxies, such as Iran, North Korea, Algeria, and a host of terrorist groups.”

“The Chinese and Russian leaders are forming this grouping because they believe the United States, the final guarantor of the international system that frustrates them both, must be taken down,” Chang continued.

“In other words, China and Russia are preparing to go to war together,” he wrote. “As no country threatens either of them, they are undoubtedly thinking of perpetrating more acts of aggression.”

Chang, the author of The Coming Collapse of China, isn’t the only geopolitical prognosticator warning of trouble on the horizon.

In many ways, these warnings echo billionaire savant Ray Dalio’s recent prediction that the U.S. is sleepwalking towards war with China.
