The interplay of Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia was presented by George Orwell in 1984 published the year before Eric Blair's death in 1951. The quadrangle of allowed combat was defined, as the national boundaries had to be respected, else the citizens would see the identity of the three systems.
In the 'nineties Clinton's nuclear commander Habiger confronted the Russians over their Yamantau Mountain project. A treaty prohibiting defensive anti-missile shields was signed, one more milepost on a test and treaty fan dance.
I mentioned this Yamantau Mountain complex (said to be as big as Washington, D.C., inside the Beltway) to an Air Force veteran last night. He replied with an account that the U.S. has facilities beneath surface bases going down miles, the best of which are able to survive "dropping the entire arsenal on it."
He says within a few years there will be a major exchange. And yet I do not quite buy that.
Here is a treatment of the mechanisms along with some interesting speculation:

The main thing is that Russia relies on arms salessomeone must survive to buy its arms.
China now develops carrier-denying systems in order to absorb Taiwan, but there is a tension borne of its one-child policy which adds to a spectrum of unrest. If it loses America as a market, how does it cope.
America relies upon China for production of a panoply of goodsHuntsman and Trump represent opposite ends of the range of response to the sino-borgian phenomenon.
China was to rely upon Russia for oil and gas for the next foreseeable decades, whether that deal succeeds remains to be seen.
The point to the killing of Number Thirty-Five is that he went against the grain of how business is done.
The economics of the Vietnam War benefited not just the American corporations, but the Soviet and Bloc and Chinese industries as well.
Dulles in Switzerland when the Germans sent Lenin to Petrograd. Dulles and McCloy participants in all the secret ratlines for Nazis.
It would have suited the American establishment and Stalin as well for Patton to die before returning to stateside electoral success thereby enacting his dangerous anti-game plan.
MacArthur could not end China; Nixon and Kissinger would meet Deng Xiaoping and Zhou Enlai for a lava lamp evolution of pseudoalliance.
Kennedy couldn't be friends with Khrushchev and vice versa.
The game must go on.
To that end there may not be exceptional men.
