  1. China claims about half of Tajikistan. Will Russia help them resist China?

  2. Whoa -- China & Russia are NOT allies. They occasionally have common interests on which they will cooperate. But, overall, they are NOT allies. Allies don't claim parts of the other's country. In fact, China & Russia are historical enemies, and natural enemies.

  3. Seems to me that one good outcome of China's heavy handed tactics is that many countries that complain about the demands that US may put on aid or other transactions, will now look minor by comparison. We don't interfere nearly as much as China. Or at least, we are not as insulting and demeaning as China is.

  4.  @Steve-iu5hy  I meant demean. But, demanding also works.

  5. I don't think anyone disputes the ability of Russia to design great new weapons - missiles, tanks, and planes.. However, can Russia produce them in enough quantity to be decisive? There are 285 F-35s in the USAF, with another 169 to be built next year (wikipedia). Eventually, the US will have 2,000+. I doubt Russia has the money to build the Armata tank, or the stealth jets in enough quantity. Russia has always been good at missiles and air defense. I suspect that Russia will build enough Zircon missiles and S-500 batteries to make a difference though. Long term, Russia's biggest problem is its small economy relative to China and US. I don't think Russia will be able to keep up, in the long term. Eventually, China will make effective jet engines, at which time, the Chinese Air Force will dwarf Russia's. Considering China's hunger for expansion, it will be Russia's main threat. China wants Siberia. China declares itself an Arctic power (how can that be? Unless it gets Siberia.)

  8.  @raymondchow8722  Korea? yes.. duh. North Korea, China's stooge, started the Korean War by invading the South. Then, when NK was about to lose, China entered the war with hundreds of thousands of troops, and pushed the UN forces back.

  9.  @raymondchow8722  Oh yes, do you remember the Sino-Vietnamese war? Started by China.
