@gimulnautti Rather than preventing WW3, I'd say this is WW3 and the West has completely misjudged. Russia and China have the Bomb so a proper war is out of the question. The US prodded the bear thinking it could be destabilised with sanctions once it reacted but China isn't about to let that happen. Then it thought it could be defeated with Wonder Weapons but they are turning out to be a paper tiger. This IS the war and it's being lost.
