How much money does an average Russian make? - Russia Beyond (rbth.com)
The average Russian worker makes an average range of $264-684 USD a month (around $400 $USD), I figure if we can bring that down to $100 a month average we should see some movement. If you want another revolution in Russia, then make the conditions like 1918 there. Cut off their internet or make it so they can look but not touch and slow outgoing traffic to near nothing. If China wants to let them through the great firewall to attack the west they will suffer similarly. All neighboring countries need to be put on notice too and given aid to accomplish this task or severe disincentives for non cooperation. Likewise a policy of cutting off oil & gas exports would be useful too, China won't be buying much of it for that long at the rate they are going green.
China wants to compete the west into the ground and that's just fine, one of the reasons for the American infrastructure program is humiliation by China. America no longer has the luxury of racism and massive military spending without a clearly defined purpose, you cannot afford to lose the resources any more. Joe is going to over see a large US drawback overseas and a concentration of forces to meet emerging threats from Russia and to keep Chinese territorial ambitions in the south in check. A similar thing happened with the British Navy in the late nineteenth century with the rise of German naval power. They were scattered all over the globe, but the bulk returned to the European and Mediterranean theaters.
America is gonna pull out of places that are less of a direct threat and not worry so much about international terrorism and more about domestic terrorism. Russia & China are the emerging threats, China is more of a long term economic threat though, but they are firmly entrenched in the international system of trade. They might not have liberal or democratic government in China, but they do have responsible government and are taking care of their own national interests. China doesn't want conflict, the current situation is working out just great for them and they can't grow at a faster rate. Russia on the other hand is not content with the world order and should have an economy many times it's current size, if not for massive corruption, the cultural damage of Stalin and stupid communist policies, Russia can best be described as a Kleptocracy.
