Quoted

China can live with a nuclear-armed North Korea, but a nuclear South Korea would not sit well with Beijing's interests in the region. A nuclear-armed South Korea could be seen as subtracting from China's strategic ambitions, as it not only equips Seoul with a deterrent against North Korea's nuclear threats, but in some ways, it could be perceived as extending U.S. strategic reach in the region.

Russia has already lost no matter where the line is. Russia's strategic defeat…is already a thing. That's done. [The reason is the] astonishing damage to (a) their military capabilities, (b) their international reputation, (c) their economy, their capacity to rearm. I mean, Russia has weakened itself in the last nine months more than any U.S. policy…could have done.
