There was a time when Putin's Russia seemed like a masculine White Christian right-wing civilization alternative to the Hillary Clinton, Obama Gay Race Communist American empire. It felt like a real possibility at the time. But it didn't happen. Putin turned out to be a bureaucrat. Russia doubled down on anti-white Third World Duginism, resentment, solidarity with India and Iran and Palestine. All of Putin's allies ended up collapsing (Syria, Palestine, Iran, etc..). And President Trump seized control of the American Empire against all odds.
What remains is a struggle between the American Right and the International Left. Those are your options. There is no Cold War alternative to the USA and USSR. Every proxy war and competing regional power bloc is shaped by a global power struggle between 2 factions: the American Right, and the Global Left.
