They work out the interaction, this is logical.
And sho, who was hoping for something else ???
Russia has two loyal allies !!! In these circumstances, the third will not be superfluous.

By hook or by crook, the Chinese are coming to us ...

[Livonetc]

You are not a nazi hour?

[Alien From]

Definitely no !!!

[Livonetc]

Already good.
My question was prompted by your contempt and offensive epithet towards the people of China.
And many of your previous comments reminded me of the "daughters of the Crimean officers", for whom "everything is not so simple."
Sorry if that's not the case.
But very similar.

[Alien From]

It's more insulting for the state)

[Livonetc]

The power is now quite progressive development.
Perhaps not as enchanting as we would like.
And China and Russia have already learned quite well how to live side by side, to have interests in the same regions, while not stepping on each other's feet.
We don't need friends.
And sane, predictable partners and neighbors.

[Alien From]

Definitely, yes)

[Runoway]

Not to us! For them, we are an excellent raw material, technological appendage, plus the experience of military operations. Learn everything, and then they will go their own way

[Alien From]

So it is, they do not take patience and diligence.

The exercise could be called "Caucasus-Himalayas-2020". But "Neman-2020" is better.

To drag the quick-eyed here, yes, their friends.
