Nonsense, those are Russia’s buddies and nothing changes, and when they are involved in wars, Russia helps them, and vice versa, you have seen it since perhaps before you were born but at least all your life and you are seeing it now, those countries have an enduring relationship and underlying commonality with Russia.

Russia is interested in expanding territory, access to warm water ports, and satellite buffer states.

They are civil with Red China because they border each other, and both have nukes and large armies. The USSR intended for Red China to be a Jr. puppet after the Chicom revolution, but Mao figured he didn’t have to take orders from Moscow (and even Ho Chi Minh!) and established the Communist “heresy” of “Socialism in One Country”, which is contrary to Marxism.

Allies are not the same as buddies. Common interests does not mean friendship.
