Well, if you know history, you should know that the USSR had helped China a lot before, during and after WWII. For instance, they had spilled a lot of blood and singlehandedly defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and handed the whole freaking Manchuria back to China. Russia and China had even been ideological comrades, but China got into bed with the supposedly common imperialist enemy, the US, and backstabbed its comrade anyway just for some freaking cheap dollars and recognitions. Today in China, from top leaders down to the common people, they don't see anything wrong with that. In fact, Deng Xiaoping is revered in China precisely for that treacherous move. They only see that as common international politics, not betrayal. There's nothing snaky about it. They would say there's no friend nor enemy, only interests if you ask them. Heck, they even blame the Russians for their backstabbing of Russia. So what should stop Russia today to do the same?! Why shouldn't Russia let China taste its own medicine?! I say if the US give Russia a good enough deal, she should go for it. The question here is not if Russia should gang up with the US against China but what the US is ready to pay for that.
