China considers participating in peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, media

No I do not believe that. I was talking about NATO troops in Russia, which could in theory also happen through a coup and a new government more alligned with the west. Even then I find it hard to believe that there would be "NATO troops on the Amur" as you put it.
How else could the USA preserve their hegemonic position?

For the sake of clarity I will say that I was referring to the hegemonic position the US has within NATO. This is the result of them simply being a trusted ally with the largest military on the planet. The latter isn't about to change soon and the former would require very little effor, but the Trump adminstration seems to be doing it's best to demolish the trust between the US and its allies. (Soft power protip #1: Don't threaten your allies with invasion!)

Yes! This is amazing! The EU should consider china as its ally, the US has proven to be unreliable and untrustworthy. The people arguing that china is authoritarian and hence shouldn't be trusted should just look at the us which is currently run by nazis.
Are you a tankie? China is a xenophobic fascist state. It’s what the GOP wants the US to become.

What Trump is doing doesn't make sense. But it also doesn't make sense that the elite accepts the loss of softpower without organizing an impeachment.

Might be a loner thought but I'd love see China backing Ukraine Imagine how much damage they could unleash on Russia.

donald trump has single handedly shifted the global hegemony away from the united states, in only a matter of weeks.
That's far too much credit for a doofus, there's a whole evil team involved. Still, the speedrun record is impressive.

The bigger question rather than letting them step into that spot is whether it means we'll let them take Taiwan and other contested islands in the Pacific without a struggle. I think they'll be allowed because there isn't another option while Republicans remain in power in the US.
That's kinda my point though. I could see them giving up on Taiwan at least temporarily if they're able to fill the power void left by the USA instead. China has been pushing to become a service economy instead of a manufacturing economy for a while now, but the rest of the world didn't trust them enough for it to work. This would change that equation.

Yeah we can't let all the Lindsey Grahams and Mitch McConnells off the hook. The GOP could have stopped this many times and now they're all being complicit out of fear of losing office

Remember the Musk briefing on Friday. The USA are preparing a war against China. China will do everything to stabilize Russia.
-
You don’t think these plans are being drawn up at the request of Putin because chinas getting handy with Siberia?
No. Putin cannot have that influence or Trump wouldn't have come so far. Russia and China have recently settled those border issues because they are on the same side.

They will be helping transfer ownership of Ukraine to Russia in exchange for their help dealing with the US
The Ukrainians only have NATO now to help
