If you are for Putin increasing his grip, are you also in favor of Russia and China joining forces against the USA?
(Excerpt) The accord also prominently recycled language that China has pushed in international agreements for decades: "All countries of the world should strictly observe the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual nonaggression, noninterference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence."
Vasily Mikheyev, deputy director of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, said the declaration was "to some extent counterproductive because it is composed in an old diplomatic style, in the spirit of the Cold War -- that is, the declaration is full of cliches from Cold War times."

I wish that Putin succeeds same way as de Gaulle succeeded in pulling France from chaos.
are you also in favor of Russia and China joining forces against the USA?
No, I am in favor of Russia friendly to USA. And also if it is possible I wish for friendly relations between USA and China.
But I would like the MFN status of China to be revised or at least some well calibrated tariffs imposed on imports from China.
