Trump Vs 3 nuclear giants: Putin’s plan to free Russian forces for Taiwan could trigger world war?

U.S. officials privately fear China could move against Taiwan within five years, while Russia faces mounting economic strain and relentless Ukrainian drone attacks. Is a new global power alignment quietly taking shape behind the scenes as Washington confronts simultaneous crises across Europe and Asia?
