I’ve been saying for the longest we needed to team up with Russia before China does....
Russia? Yeah riiiight
Their neighbors
However Russia is heading away from communism and towards Christ while the communist Chinese desperately try to prevent the hundreds of millions of Christians in their country from expressing their faith at all and try to destroy their churches
Both countries are zealously anti-Islam and have major Muslim issues
Whereas the Russians allow them to exist and tolerate them the Chinese are imprisoning them and tried to put them in communist reeducation camps
In the end the Chinese communists are only about themselves and really don’t care who they ally with or not
Russia is in a serious state of decline where a good majority of the male population they are alcoholics and are dying by the age of 50
China has 1.2 billion people of which about 700 million would be considered poor and they’re having major food problems as the pig population is devastated by the swine flu and they have worms devastating there’s cereal crops expect major food riots to happen in China in the next couple of years
I don't know about teaming up, but certainly the last eight years have seen the United States and its western allies practically push Russia into the waiting arms of Communist China.
Its a very short sighted and flawed foreign policy that assigns a higher value to a failed state like Ukraine than it does a strategic nuclear partner like Russia.
