Oh, great. Another one who thinks they know everything about geopolitics but actually knows nothing. Here's a news flash for you, buddy: the world isn't as black and white as you seem to think it is. In fact, it's quite complicated and nuanced, with plenty of factors at play. So why don't you try actually educating yourself before spewing nonsense like this? Oh wait, that would require actual effort and critical thinking – two things you clearly lack.

Are we on the brink of WWIII?
No.
This is the same horseshit we heard about Russia and Ukraine. "Putin is desperate and crazy, so he's about to start ww3 by nuking Ukraine." Never happened. Why? Because neither Russia nor China need to do anything but cut off the west, dump the dollar and the euro, and watch us collapse in the pool of worthless fiat that we printed.
If Israel invades Gaza, they're likely to have their ass handed to them by proxy armies, so there isn't a need for China or Russia to do anything but supply the proxy forces weapons and aid.
Our involvement in Ukraine has set the precedent that supplying weapons and aid to proxy armies is not the same as being directly involved, so China and Russia are free to provide any weapons they want to Iran, who can then provide them to Hezzbollah to fight Israel by proxy and it not be considered direct involvement.

The Russian ruble? Hey dum dum. They are forming a new currency, backed by gold. Not worthless. Inflation in Russia is half that of Europe and the cost of energy in Russia is 1/3 of what it is in Europe. Russia's economy has almost fully recovered from the sanctions as the world is coming to the realization that they can't do without Russia's exports. Ffs, even Ukraine is buying deisle from Russia, now.
As for China, what metrics are you using to determine that it's in shambles? Most bullshit artists use references to per capita. That's how you'll know that they are full of shit. China doesn't give 1 fuck about 800 million of its own people, so their squallered existence isn't relevant. However, when looking solely and squarely at China's upper and middle class, they are in a far, far better economic position than any western country, or even Russia. This is evidenced by the fear mongering about China buying land in the US. Their upper and middle class have so much wealth that they need to go to other countries to buy shit, so they can spend that wealth and buy shit that they will then own.
Simple fact is, the west needs Russia and China (which includes Tiawan), but Russia and China will do just fine without the west
I hope so! I pray this is it. The moment WW3 starts the constitution and law goes out the window in GTAV. I will smile when every big city gets fucking melted.
