I like your pondering.

I have some notes with this theory

There's this puffed up sense of Western self-importance that doesn't really exist: Russia and China both see that the future of global economic growth will be in the Global South and are allocating resources appropriately.

In addition to each northern superpower abusing the hemisphere, they do fight for influence between the northern smaller ones – the aforementioned propping of accelerationist and/or reactionary movements being one way amoug the trade ones you focused on.

IDU is a good example, while it seems to be just one path to the efforts

What's the purpose, though? China and Russia hardly need to touch it, because it's the direction that US money is flowing anyway.

What's the purpose of US/China/Russia influencing others? Destabilization, dependancies, just to gain power for immediate or later use purposes? It's a mighty big question that'd summarize the whole history of geopolitics. Always been happening in different forms I guess.

What power have China and Russia gained? China is decoupling from the West and Russia is doing so as well.

The evidence points to the fact that China and Russia don't need to deal with politics in the West.

Why do they then do deal and interfere if they don't need to? Is it a distraction towards the US?

They don't. They literally give no shits.

However it is known that they all do. It's hard to deny something that's happening

Ah maybe everyone is just having a mass hallucination event. Now I know better, thanks

Where are your sources? You made the claim lol

That's like asking sources for everything that has happened ever. I said you already converted with your secret proof. We don't need to consider what the world knows — or thought they knew, you're convincing enough
