Three wounded empires, one dangerous grudge, and your evening news suddenly feels like a thriller.
Russia, China and Iran: three former empires are determined to take their revenge and reassert their power after centuries of humiliation. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, they have never been so aligned on the international stage. Their common goal: to put an end to Western hegemony, restore their zone of influence and propose a new model of society.

Are they on the verge of joining forces to create a new world order?
