I didn't say so explicitly at that time, but it was clear to me that
Russia and China were each other's historic enemies and would continue
to be, and that a Russian (Orthodox Christian civilization)
generational crisis war would be against against China (Mongolians)
and Sunni Muslim countries (Islamic civilization), and not against
Europe (Western civilization).
Nothing that's happened in the last 50 years, or even the last 100
years, changes that. In particular, some silly Sino-Russian Pact is
as relevant as a teaspoon of water compared to a tsunami.
So all the observed historical events of the past century has no effect on the alignments of your proposed 4T war, even the previous 4T war and events that preceded that war including as far back as another large-scale world conflict that occured a generation before the previous 4T war. That your proposed clash of civilizations is inevitable as you claim it would develop and the alignments in it are set in stone and have been since the late 19th century and somehow only you have the wisdom of decyphering those alignments. LOL I'm sure the ottoman Turks were fighting for their connection with china during WW1, even though they were allied with germany and china was not even a participant in that war. Like Thailands participation in WW2 is not important even though they had the same student demonstrations that all other ww2 participating nations had in the 60s and 70s, nope Thailand's war is instead a war they were not even a participant in. The fact that Russia's participation in both WW1 and WW2 and the cold war were all directed against Central Europe, not the Islamic world. Even in cultural and secular matters you are delusional; you adopt the Marxist idea that religion was created as just a means to control the masses and atheism (in your case, christopher hitchens-style liberal atheism) is the truth. Even though numerous amounts of evidence of things that were previously mentioned only in religious texts have been uncovered in recent years and decades. Nope you are charlatan, a quack, motivated by an attempt to form a cultish following with you being the guru. While those developments that are relevant, the war on terror, the catching up of Russia and China militarily to the US, the formation of the sino-russian alliance and both powers alliance with iran. The fact that the threat from china and north korea is from a naval/land war in the west pacific that could potentially escalate to nuclear war, NOT a chinese/north korean invasion of CONUS. That militarily the current pecking order of the superpowers is US, then russia, then China, not johnX's fantasy pecking order of China, then russia, with the US being a distant third and being a very weak power. These are the facts.
