It serves them both right, for they richly deserve each other.

I didn't need to hear that China and Russia were having "exercises" in order to know that these two cannot be trusted and what their intentions are.
Putin is a fool to ally Russia with China.
Russia will be swallowed up.
We could obliterate every city in China and Russia and not miss breakfast.
You also need to know Russia, India and the U.S. are planning excercises together too.
Thanks for the links!
You're very welcome neverdem.
From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
If you're interested in what the Chinese Communists, also known as(aka) Chicoms, are up to with their Navy, aka PLAN, i.e. People's Liberation Army's Navy(?), then check out Jeff Head's link in comment# 2. Thanks Jeff, bookmarked!
Russia and China are more likely to be enemies than allies. China covets what it considers ancestral territories in Russia's southeast. Russia lacks the military manpower to guard its territory. Putin could be showing China his long-range technological muscle.
The age-old dance of major powers sizing each other up and carving out spheres of influence and alliances is underway on a global scale. The dance cards are filling up and I think Russia, India and Japan know who to waltz with. The Chinese can't be trusted.
Funny how everyone claims they don't like the U.S. these days, but they all seem to imitate us in a myriad of ways.
What's that saying about imitation and flattery?

>>Those uniforms sure look a lot like ours.
Looks a lot like woodland camo, which the Army is about to start moving away from. They're adopting something called the ACU, the Army Combat Uniform. The camo pattern looks similar to the Marines' new digicamo.
