Talk is growing of a Russian-Sino alliance against the West. RIA Novosti, a state-owned media outlet, reported on Monday that Washington had deployed hundreds of thousands of military personnel, carrier strike groups and warplanes into the Asia-Pacific region, which would "become an analogue of NATO in Asia."
The report said that this bloc, though intended to contain China, will also "seriously affect the security of Russia."
"They need a wide bloc that would cover the entire western part of the Pacific," Doctor of Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov was quoted as saying.

I guess anyone can be a foreign policy expert these days.
At the end of WWII no country could threaten us in the Pacific or anywhere else. The only way we could end up like this is with the treasonous acts of subversive agents throughout the decades since. The irony is that our enemies won’t even have to fire a shot to defeat us.
I am not a Geopolitical Analyst and even I saw this a mile away, funny thing in Arma 3 ( Military Simulation Game) of the PC that takes place in the future, the same thing happens in a way which is call CSAT, the opposing alliance to NATO.
Do not underestimate the US-Australia-India-Japan team. China is economically weaker than they appear and they could go the way of the old Soviet Union if they keep spending like drunken sailors on the military.
That’s a crock. No matter who our President is Russia is the enemy.
Russia is expansionist, and like Putin, wants the old Soviet Union borders back, and then some.
There can be no peace with Russia, just varying levels of conflict with the west in general, but the US is Glavni Vrag.
Agree
Russia is not an enemy.
Russia has beautiful women, bountiful natural resources, and a lot of land.
That is a great country to be an ally with.
That’s why so many are leaving. Try finding a Russian outside of Russia that will say a nice word about Putin...lol
I never said that their government was great.
