Pentagon: Military Union of Russia and China will not

54
Military exercises "Vostok-2018", which started the day before in Russia, are commented in the American military department. The Americans were clearly disturbed by the fact that representatives of the PLA (People’s Liberation Army of China) were taking part in the maneuvers together with the Russian military. At the same time, in the United States they declare in fact about a “one-off action” in attracting Russian Chinese servicemen to maneuvers.

According to US Secretary of Defense James Mattis, no military union from the joint exercises of the Russian Federation and the PRC will be created in the future.



Mattis:
I see not only that in the long run it can be a reason for the unification of Russia and China (militarily). Both of these countries act in their own interests.


That was the answer of the head of the Pentagon to the question of whether Moscow and Beijing can agree on the creation of a military-political alliance. An example was given of a possible counterbalance to NATO.

Russian military exercises "East-2018" are the most ambitious after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They are attended by about three hundred thousand military personnel and tens of thousands of samples of military equipment, including naval ships and Aviation Russian Aerospace Forces.

Pentagon: Military Union of Russia and China will not


One of the episodes of the exercise is the use of means to counter unmanned aerial vehicles. Applied radio-electronic complexes "Silok-01" and "Resident". This is their debut at the large-scale exercises "Vostok-2018".

          At the same time, at some convenient moment for this action, guided by the logic of the USSR of 1939, they can simply "push back" the borders at the expense of "Greater Poland" - Russia, and by no means a couple of hundred kilometers.

                  As long as there is a force in Russia that controls the nuclear potential sufficient to launch any effective retaliatory strike, they will naturally spoil only the hands of nuclear-free neighbors and diverse radical groups within the country, but if (when) there is a loss of control or the potential turns out to be if it is safe for the aggressor, then in general illusions at that moment will only feed the birds naive.

            If the leadership of the Russian Federation suddenly turns out to be hostile to China or, even worse, finally turns into an American puppet - more than likely.
            Or if the states attack Russia from Europe, then it is almost guaranteed.

              I completely agree, I think that the only additional condition for the "transfer of the border" is the crisis state of the Russian Federation and the impossibility of offering serious resistance to the eastern "brother forever".

    In what Matis is right, objectively:
    -With China, they threw China with communism (they even have cartoons for children on this subject) where can we now take faith in an ally to specifically turn our backs to the west?
    -Plus the whole situation "everyone has their own interests" the world now resembles Russia under the 300-year invasion of the golden horde, all the principalities understand that the hegemon needs to be removed, but they do not want to reunite and do not lose hope in the mercy of the hegemon.
    The same Iran is more firm in its position towards the United States, calling it a hotbed of terrorists, while our Foreign Ministry restrainedly calls them "partners". Russia, as such, does not have a clear position against the West, we seem to snap, but at the same time we look in our mouths ..... So the Russian Federation and the PRC are spinning, sometimes together, sometimes apart, and China's interest is only in training and technology
