Well, a lack of critical thinking and analytical skills makes one stuck to some surface symbols, most of those might be decoys.

Last time I’ve check Russia hasn’t armed China with any advanced weapons and heavily opposes Chinese influence in Central Asia. And it is actually US spearheading Chinese interests in Asia. Who do you think a real winner in Afghanistan?.... Think harder. Also Chinese businesses aren’t buying Russian land and there are strong tariffs against Chinese imports.
At the same time Russia is leasing nuclear subs, co-develops a 5g combat aircraft and handing advanced missile technology to India which is a historic enemy of China.
Decoys I have told about are just a surface and it is carefully built by both Russian and Chinese governments to cool hatred of their people’s towards each other because governments don’t want to be at war right now.

It really strange if such a propaganda works better on some Americans than it is on Chinese or Russians who are a target group.

BTW, I’m yet to see a nuke some claim Russia “helping” Iran to make.

I’d sure like to see your sources. This sounds a lot like the European Union propaganda that claimed the CIA was trying to “sabotage” Ireland’s re-vote on the Treaty of Lisbon.

How is it any related?

What sources do you want?
Russian-Indian co-operation is well covered, you may simply Google it.
So does Russian-Chinese disputes.
Chinese interests in Asia and elsewhere are obvious as well.

Cui bono.

Do you want me to send you a link to some “respected” think-tank analysis who came to a same conclusion as I did? It is pity if you really want it because the one who wants opinions and don’t want to connect facts by himself is really lost as a free person. He wants others think for him.
It is actually how propaganda works on people.

Being evasive undercuts the validity. Sounds like you fear having your sources judged.

Google Nerpa, Pak-Fa, Brahmos, Russian export tariffs on timber, anti-dumping laws for Chinese steel and vehicles etc.

It should be required reading in US schools. I see our country’s future in it.

“I wish Obama cared for the United States half as much...”

.
Putin is a Russian and loves his country.

We’re not even sure where Obama is from and he is not telling because he must have something to hide.
