Just to be clear, I've been saying the same thing for well over ten
years -- that Russia will be an ally and China will be an enemy of
both the US and Russia. If I reference current events, it's only to
show that current events are staying roughly on the predicted trend
line.
But the Sino-Russian Pact has been in place since 2001 with large-scale joint exercises between the Russian and Chinese militaries have been held routinely since 2005. This was the case ten years ago and is still the case today in 2017.
So what?
