YAY! Isn't that GREAT news? Detente' is being created! Peace in our time! Two world powers, long mistrustful of each other find common purposes to unite !....err...hey...umm..wait a sec. We represent the common purpose..huh?
It's hard to imagine now, but I recall several ignorant trolls by name, at another site, who argued till they were blue with stupidity, that Russia and China were NOT and would NEVER BE cooperative on a tactical level between combat forces. (sigh) ...and a couple of those people, I HAD respect for, before they so publicly declared ignorance like it's a character trait to be proud of. d_hJZfC8t2FrknI9TjHM
We don't face Russia. We COULD beat them, if they stood in isolation as a single power to face. We COULD beat China (for a short time longer, probably), if they stood alone, and without technology sufficient to match us. Although, that won't likely be the case much longer, if it still is within the classified world of the truth.
We don't face either of them tho....we face them as a COMBINED AXIS. That? Well... Arrogant and Ignorant 'Captain America' types I have come to feel deep disgust for, will insist America is damn near GODLIKE and we can take anything on Earth, kick their ass, and be home by breakfast. (sigh) ...and thinking like that is how MAJOR, catastrophic defeats have come to pass in times past.
Hitler was SURE...and millions who followed him were SURE...they had the start of a THOUSAND YEAR empire. They weren't killing and dying on a 'maybe he has a decent idea'. They belived it, to their black little cores. Just as so many now believe in American superiority to the point of arrogance ASKING to be stomped.

Those two do seem to be lining up with the combined power neither could ever dream of, by themselves...but together? They cover each other's weaknesses and bolster each other's strengths, aside from covering a fair % of the populated land mass of our planet.
BEIJING (AP) -- The navies of China and Russia plan to hold joint drills in the Mediterranean Sea for the first time in mid-May, China's Defense Ministry announced Thursday, in the latest expansion of the growing informal partnership between the two militaries.
The exercises also illustrate China's continued engagement with Russia at a time when Moscow has been shunned by much of the international community over its support for separatist rebels in Ukraine.

The two nation's militaries have increased their joint training operations in recent years, sometimes under the aegis of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional grouping formed partly to counter U.S. influence in Central Asia.
China has also looked to Russia for support in its perpetual feud with archrival Japan over World War II history and the shifting balance of power in Asia.
