And China's rise may be aided by Russian materials, or delayed by the denial of same. But such a denial will not stop it from rising, and if Russia did splinter there's no reason why those splintered regions would be unable to deal with China as well as with us. Unless, of course, we borrow money from China to buy new toys to threaten the Chinese with. That'll go over well.
