I agree with your reasoning and the citations of wisdom. Win-win is definitely better than zero sum. Fighting Russia and China is pointless indeed, we can only loose. Those governing us appear to be pathetic.

It is not a popular thing to say, but it seems one person one vote is destined to deliver pathetic leaders - leaders chosen based on their talent to be popular, rather than talent (AND proven track record) to deliver "for the people".
Putin was picked by Yeltsin - might well be an unreliable process. But that doesn't excuse your comment's false dichotomy.
Have you noticed the world's most enduring institution survives without democracy despite peddling virgin birth and rise from the dead? More importantly, how come one man one vote creates leaders out of talk show host, professional clown, and failed journalist, etc.?
If you can be open-minded I suggest you watch Eric Li's TED talk A tale of two political systems on youtube.

It appears that in some countries 'leader' is a title and ruling is by Deep State.
It seems to me that it doesn't matter much which system there is, it is a fight for power position with massive opinion manipulation of the masses.
