Keeping in mind, the US still hasn't defeated cave dwelling Taliban after 15 years and had everything they could handle and then some with jungle faring Vietnemese. 

Russia wouldn't openly ally with China, but I think behind the scenes they probably would. US being bogged down in war with China would be great for Russia, they could "quietly" move in Eastern Europe and no one would be able to raise much of a stink, sit back and wait for both parties to weaken/destroy each other and reap the benefits. 

Do you get your geo polytics form videogames ?

Actually they whooped the Talibans ass, then left and the incompetant afgan gov let them regroup and rebuild.

Russia is not stupid nor does it live in some fairy tales.  A War between the other two is really not good for them, economically and by the fact US would smash China and rearm ten time over due to the war.  Russia does not want to move in to Eastern Europe neither does it actually have the capability.  War would not weaken the US, its military industry would go into overdrive same way it did in ww2.  Plus other industry's by sheer nessecity.  

No, lol, I don't play any military video games, don't have any interest in that. I do enjoy studying history, World War II and the Cold War in particular though. 

A war between China/US if sufficently devastating enough would leave Russia and Germany as the defacto remaining super powers, and if you're Russia, you probably like those odds. Putin was raised and trained by the KGB, don't assume America has a monopoly on nostalgic longing for the past. Putin would go down as the greatest leader in Russian history if he was able to restore Russia as the defacto global superpower. 

Mind you, I don't think even Trump is dumb enough to let things ever get that far, and even if he did, he'd like face impeachment and/or a coup from within his own government.
