MOSCOW: Russia and China have unveiled a joint agenda for building a multi-polar world in the 21st century that is singularly anti-U.S. in spirit, if not in letter.

"All countries of the world must strictly abide by the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in internal affairs of each other, equality and mutual benefit (and) peaceful coexistence," the two countries said in a Declaration on the World Order in the 21st Century signed on Friday in the Kremlin by the Presidents of Russia and China, Vladimir Putin and Hu Jintao.

Putin's giving CPR to the Ghost of the Cold War.

Sounds to me like:

As I passed by the garden I observed with one eye
That the Owl and the Panther were sharing a pie.

(You know the rest, of course.)

Why not carry that principle down to the county, neighborhood or family level. You must "respect me" as I enslave my neighborhood - grant me equality, non-interference in my internal affairs and peacefully coexist with my encampment.

Russia is 3x larger than China with 1/10th the population and tons upon tons of natural resources. Russia had better watch it's butt.

"Eleven soldiers were killed and 21 troops and civilians wounded when a bomb ripped through a military truck near a bath house in a southern Russian city near Chechnya.
The bomb equivalent to the power of 5 kg of TNT went off when three packed trucks carrying 60 soldiers pulled by the bath house in Makhachkala, capital of the Russian ethnic republic of Dagestan."

Especially America with respect to rogue states such as Iran and the DPRK? And must America stay out of China's way on the island of Taiwan?
