It's an unfortunate turn of events that Russia has gotten cozy with China over the last few months in the face of the American Left's unreasoning yet relentless onslaught against all things Russian. last year, and the year before, we had an open window to cooperation treaties, but since BidenHarris's regime has seized the reins of power, all those bets are off, and Russia has been nuzzling up to the CCP.
For example, last year when China was poised to strike India, and there had been border clashes at the northenr border of India, Russia "delayed" delivery of some state of the art missile systems to China, citing a production shortage and previous commitments to... India. India got their missiles first, preventing a Chinese assault on them. China was plenty pissed off about that, but it was what it was, and Russia maintained the truce on that border without ever going there.
Flash forward a mere 6 months, and China and Russia are now holding hands while the US watches the courtship through a frosty window, from outside. Our chance has passed, I think, and the world is a more dangerous place for the US to eke out it's existence. BidenHarris and the American Left placed the wrong bet, and lost. While Russia is not and has never been our friend, the CCP is far more dangerous to US interests, and they have succeeded in courting Russia where the US has failed. That doubles their danger to us now.
Russia would have been far more useful as an ally than as a member of an enemy axis, and the Americans blew it under the BidenHarris Regime, no doubt with input from the Klintons, who have always had a hard on for Russia ever since communism failed there and Russia became inimical to the American Marxists.
Regarding the war gaming, the more things change, the more they stay the same:

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
