A great big West/East war is not a high probability , for a start China and Russia are not allied ,
they have great relations but don't buy into the other problems beside some diplomatic noises
their relationship is mostly of a sanction busting nature ,
there is not going to be a ground war in China , an embargo on shipping lanes is pretty certain in case of unpleasantness ,
then Russia would remain neutral and serve as a backdoor , including Russia Arctic territorial waters for a few months a year
For Russia , pretty much the same , they can take care of conventional forces on the European side , China acting as a friendly neutral
to start a great big East/West shooting conflict it would take some pretty stupid people doing stupid things for along time
and neither the Russians or the Chinese are that stupid , mind you I put all my hopes on Hillary.... go baby burn! burn!
