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.
The problem is, when you cite the fact that the relationship with China appears to have cooled in the past few months as evidence for your theory, but fail to cite the fact that relationships with China seemed to be going well a few months ago as evidence against your theory then, it looks like you're grasping at straws to find confirmation.
