Im not worried about who wins as such but the threat of a nuclear war scares the shit out of me.

No-one can win a world war in the age of nuclear weapons.
Russia can't win an economic war, and Putin knows it. However, he also knows that the Russian people can put up with unbelievable hardships when they think their motherland is under threat. His regime has consistently failed to invest the bounty from Russia's immense mineral wealth into infrastructure and a diversified economy. His thinking has always been about Russian influence and power - political and military, not economic, as he is a product of Soviet philosophy. It is natural then, that his responses are 'Cold War' rhetoric and bluster.
"East Asia has always been at war with Eurasia".
To paraphrase Sting, we must hope that "the Russians love their children consumer toys too.." for change to come.

It seems to say to me "we'll be reasonable if the USA are reasonable" , which is something USA have rarely been.
