Well, Mongolia doesn't have much choice. This country is geographically located between Russia and China. The two great powers. Mongolia has to cooperate with these two powers. But that is not a disadvantage for the country. On the contrary. I don't want to go into that in detail.

Just one more thought. Russia and China form an axis with Iran. North Korea, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Southeast Asia, Yemen, Egypt, Ethiopia, Algeria and other countries will find their advantages through ASEAN, BRICS and SOC. The more repressive the US and the collective West act, the stronger the ties between the Eurasian countries will be in the future. But the game changers are Saudi Arabia and now soon Azerbaijan and Turkey. Mind you, Turkey must sever its ties with USNATO. But the West has nothing to offer Turkey. On the contrary, the West is stagnating at all levels.

It is quite possible that one or two color revolutions by the USA could still be successful. But this can only be a temporary nuisance.

Russian and Chinese diplomacy is, without exaggeration, world class.

Mongolia's problem is lack of people and lack of energy sources. Its neighbors can and want to help. Climate and geography are also issues that are very difficult to overcome. That's why they headed West and South 800 odd years ago and almost made the English Channel, a feat that would've altered Europe massively.
