^ you clearly overestimating China, don't judge by appearance, that is basically how people of this world came to the conclusion about China, not knowing that such position is determined only by our CREATOR regardless of population and tech. Russia is currently at the top in terms of power and influence, even US is no where near her, and China is no where near US in that regard. This is largely due to grace and influence of Christianity. BRICS is in its current state for the sake of Russia, so China can't fill the vacuum if Russia was absent or more focused on something else.
Regarding Putin, you clearly do not understand the scale of responsibility and power that were bestowed on him. A nation/person he legitimately get mad at will most likely have serious problems (except the one above him). If he is happy with you then you are blessed. Russia is incredibly underestimated even by Putin and Russians themselves. If the whole world gather against her they will realize how blessed they are, and this is because of grace and their role of protecting the world from what the ordinary will interpret as alien invasion and takeover of this planet
Our CREATOR gives everybody their opportunity. Consider His people of Israel falling to Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon. China is simply having its time in some ways.
If the West won't get serious about our CREATOR again, and get rid of woke and movies and all the lies they are telling their hearts, China just might be their Babylon where they go into captivity. But it might be Russia. Could easily happen through BRICS.

Ofcourse, the world wants China to be the Babylon, or better still, to rule the World, but it does not tally with the scripture. What we use as guide in knowing who currently is or will remain Babylon till the end is the Word of our
CREATOR. Besides the one who is communicating with you has been given that knowledge directly, which is 100% trustworthy.. There is a bit for proof of this claim: there was a time on this forum he commanded that Babylon could hold kidnapped Venezuelan President if the charges is drug-related, that line was not crossed otherwise there would've been consequences. Why I'm saying this, it's because the one who is the Babylon responded to the command. Ofcourse, for the sake of Christains there who could be emotionally attached to Babylon which they were once part of, we tend to be descreet in order not to offend them. I hope they are consoled by the fact they are the light that shines at Babylon which she eventually won't have.
Finally, let me once again advice that we be careful following what the world believes, says or wants, because the
CREATOR's Will, which we should depend on, is what will always prevail. The world, and even sometimes Trump want China to be the Babylon, but what will prevail is the CREATOR's Will.
