I'm sure Russia and China have the perfect democracy in mind.
It will be perfectly fair. Both Putin and Xi will have 55% of the vote.
Bold to think Putin would be more than a junior partner.
Then again, he has lots of nukes.
I think what we've seen over the last bit, is that just nukes are a very inflexible tool. They protect you from open invasion, and that's it, because nobody's going to believe you will end the world over whatever diplomatic slight.
