It’s funny you put it that way. People are saying Trump will start WWIII and I think you’re closer to the truth. He and Putin and Xi will all stay out of each other’s way and maybe occasionally fight a proxy war here and there to maintain power in perpetuity.
Why go to war with each other when you can just leave each other alone and let everyone else do the fighting?
Besides, Trump is beholden to Putin and Putin and Xi are buddies (Putin might even be beholden to Xi at this point considering Russia’s money issues). Who is going to go to war with who?
Oh, don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll fall in line in a couple of days and act like Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

They will all wag each other’s dogs. Giggity.
The US was late to WW1 and WW2. Trump wants to go 3 for 3.
Stalin and Hitler tried what you suggested…
Their pact was more about having mutual levels of power though. Putin clearly has power over Trump and it sure looks like Xi has power over Putin.
Trump’s official power will dwarf Putin’s by orders of magnitude on January 6th.
official power isn’t really what Putin specializes in now.
His thing is more influencing who gets that official power in other countries.
