Pakistan Defence

I think deep down Russia sees PRC as threat to it hegemony in CAS and Eastern Europe

Also Turkey-PRC have better chance of being allies than Russo-Turk alliance add in Iran as well

Interesting....i think u have a point regarding Russia + US collusion. At the end of the day they'd rather have beef with each other while being the only world power brokers.. but US is atacking Russia too much so Russia has a serious enemy of my enemy is my friend in PRC

The problem is the US is filled with "Cold War" leftovers in Langley,Foggy Bottom,and in the Pentagon almost everyone in the USG is like aged 50 or up filled with baby boomers

Trump I think is trying to replace those folks slowly in the Pentagon,And State Department

If you noticed The US is not as interested in Ukraine and Georgia as they were under Bush and Obama
