Good point. And don't forget Iran. Some naive dorks think that Russia cares a straw for War on terror. Putin will be the first to ally with islamofascists if he thinks this would serve Russia's interests. We're gonna see Huntingtons prophecy coming true in a bit different configuration: Russia+China+Islam.
This latest Putin game of Russian-Chinese alliance is very foolish. China with its ever growing population has not forgotten the loss of Far East to the Russian Empire in 19th century. Plus, scarcely populated Siberian planes could be easily flooded with Chinese. Russian Far East already receives a steady stream of Chinese workers and traders. They are hardworking and exceptionally disciplined people. However, they are unlikely to assimilate into moribund and scarce Russian population and feel like Russian Citizens. They may some day to demand "reunification" with China. Neo Communist China is not interested in partnership with Russia or with anybody else--it's interested in domination. Putin should understand that becoming Communist Chinese vassal and possibly loosing a huge chunk of Russian territory is price not worth paying. However, I'm afraid, Putin and Kremlin establishment hates America more than they are afraid of Chinese ambitions.
