Europe is nothing?
It seems to me that you, like most of our esteemed forum participants, rarely visit Russian information resources due to your lack of knowledge of the Russian language. I've heard that the Chinese internet is completely disconnected from the global one, and perhaps that's why you can't closely follow events within Russia. And why should the Chinese even care about Russia? After all, it's not (yet) capable of threatening them. But we, small countries—unfortunately located near Russia for centuries—are always on guard.
During Hossein Obama's second term, the United States decided to begin a redistribution of its forces, identifying the Pacific region as a priority for protecting its national interests. While this became clear during President Xi Jinping's first state visit to the United States in 2015, signs of this had already been present at the turn of the millennium. Even then, experts predicted that China would overtake the United States economically by 2020 and militarily by 2025. At that time, China's economic growth was incredibly rapid, several times greater than that of the United States.
You're right: every state chooses its allies based on its own interests.Turkish long-standing national policies are to decouple from Asia and integrate with Europe, as well as to emerge as an independent pole in the Middle East. However, the international political and economic landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Turkey needs to re-examine its relations with Europe and its position in the global economic chain. Only after a comprehensive assessment can it make the right choices.During Hossein Obama's second term, the United States decided to begin a redistribution of its forces, identifying the Pacific region as a priority for protecting its national interests.

If we consider all of this from the perspective of US national interests, there is nothing surprising: in an incredibly short time, China has become a true giant, challenging Washington's hegemony worldwide.
Sooner or later, all of this was bound to happen.
The rapprochement between the United States and Russia should have happened long ago! To avoid the long-overdue alliance between Moscow and Beijing.
Serious disagreements between Washington and the EU surfaced back in 2003, following Washington's decision to occupy Iraq.
Through no fault of the Americans, the Europeans, beginning in the 1990s, destroyed their military industries, thoughtlessly sold off their armored fighting vehicles without producing replacements, disarmed and downsized their armies, and so on.
I even remember this somewhat absurd incident from that time: the Netherlands decided to get rid of its top-notch Leopards, several hundred of them. Outside Europe, many countries immediately wanted to acquire these Leopards.
And now the Netherlands wants to lease 18 Leopards from Germany.
Europeans have long been warned of the danger posed by Russia. Russia was then implementing its first State Program for the Rearmament of the Army. But, alas, no one there, except Poland, took it seriously.
Yes, if you were referring to the current dire security situation in Europe, I agree with you.
As for the geopolitical preferences of your country, Brazil, alas

MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin inspected the Moscow Center for Photonics on the territory of the Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Zelenograd (Alabushevo site) and said that the production of photonic integrated circuits will begin by the end of 2025.
"Technopolis Moscow is the country's largest special economic zone, which implements a number of key areas of our country's technological independence. In particular, projects such as pharmaceuticals and microelectronics are being implemented here in Zelenograd," Sobyanin said on Thursday.
The area of the Moscow Center for Photonics is 26.7 thousand square meters. The created capacities will allow the production of up to 100 thousand products per year.
"And now we have begun to develop another unique, key area for our country - the development of photonics. On behalf of the President, a project is being implemented to build a plant for the production of photonic integrated circuits. The building has been built, equipment is being supplied, commissioning is underway. I hope that by the end of the year we will receive new products that are unique for our country," the mayor said.

Used in transceivers, FIS can transmit data at speeds in excess of 100 Gbps, reducing power consumption by up to 10 times and reducing device size by up to 20 times.
"The products manufactured here will increase the speed of data transmission by 50-100 times, which is critically important for telecommunications, including the creation of fifth-generation communication networks (5G) based on domestic equipment, space communications, as well as the implementation of projects in the development of artificial intelligence, biomedicine and other high-tech industries," the press service of the mayor's office says.
About the SEZ
The Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is a territory with a special legal status, which has a preferential business regime for investors. The SEZ was created in 2006, but its active development began after the transfer of the project to the Moscow government in 2016. For eight years, the Technopolis Moscow SEZ has become the largest in Russia both in terms of investment and the area of operating enterprises.
Currently, more than 220 high-tech enterprises are localized in the SEZ, of which 120 have resident status. More than 22 thousand jobs have been created.
Four intersectoral clusters have been formed in the Technopolis Moscow SEZ: pharmaceutical, electric vehicle construction, photonics and microelectronics, unmanned aircraft systems.
