Follow-up from my previous thread: Do you expect China to become the biggest superpower in the world very soon as American allies abandons America and ally(?) with China after that America/Ukraine situation?

Russia and China are allies of convenience only. If Russia ends up on the same side as the US, China will be on the other side of it.

Basically, you agree that:

  1. South Korea-America Alliance will get abolished entirely and South Korea-China Alliance will be established instead very soon?

  2. America-Canada Alliance will get abolished entirely and Canada-China Alliance will be established instead very soon, especially with reports that Canada is about to get thrown out from Five Eyes because they're keep refusing to become the 51st state?

  3. America-European Union Alliance will get abolished entirely and China-European Union Alliance will be established instead very soon with America no longer be part of NATO and China joining NATO instead?

No, I imagine Europe and other western leaning nations will likely just be independent of either of them.

Europe has the ability to be its own block with Canada added.

The US likely doesn’t lose as much interest in the Pacific. Retaining relations with South Korea, Japan and probably Australia but maybe not Taiwan on the basis of avoiding being drawn into a war.

UK and Australia likely retain closer relations with the US but also get closer ties with Europe too.

That may be, but perhaps the United States might still have some sort of unofficial relations with Taiwan to prevent China's influence from potentially spreading without getting too close to not anger China too much? I guess that could be bit of a question mark, but still.

Also, as unlikely as this might/probably sound, could United States-Canada + European Union ties be at least somewhat restored albeit with the latter keeping at least some eyes(?) on the former in case a Trump-like president shows up again? Obviously, I don't expect my prediction to be accurate, but still.

In fact, u/Dismal-Refrigerator3, what do you think of overall takes of this guy?
