Russian-Chinese military-political alliance: version 2.0

81
The correct answer to the question “do we need an alliance with China?” Will not be given by experts, who are ever more active in favor or against this alliance. Not even Putin and Xi Jinping, saturating the “strategic partnership” formula with new volumes and forms of interaction - from Syria to Sochi, from the SCO to BRICS. Life itself will give the answer, and if less abstract, the inexorable logic of the development of geopolitical, geo-economic and other "geo" processes.



Union of Stalin and Mao

Recall: Russia has already had an alliance with China. JV Stalin and Mao Zedong signed the 14 of February on 1950 of the Moscow Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance. This document made the highest stories bilateral relations level - military-political union. This level, which was not reached to this day, was necessary for both the PRC and the USSR. It is hard to even imagine the development of events in another scenario. If China entered the system of the global environment of the Soviet Union, then, most likely, the Third World War would have become a reality. If the USSR did not guarantee the PRC a “security umbrella”, then the United States would most likely have decided to take revenge and unleash a war against China.

The new union passed the test of strength within a few months after the conclusion: 25 June, 1950, the Korean War began, and on October 19, the Chinese "people's volunteers" crossed the border with North Korea. It was they who, with the military-technical assistance of the Soviet Union, really opposed the Americans and their allies. During the three years of the war, about a million Chinese soldiers and officers were killed, even the son of Mao Zedong was killed. In turn, Moscow fulfilled its obligations to Beijing, covering the "volunteers" and the industrial base in the northeastern provinces from the air, and then transferring to China all the rights under the joint control of the CER, withdrawing its troops from the Port Arthur naval base. Soviet military property in the city of Dalian (Far). The construction and reconstruction of 50 large industrial facilities began in full swing, hundreds of Soviet specialists from various industries, agriculture, science and technology, government and media arrived in China, and thousands of Chinese students became examples of diligence and a thirst for knowledge in Soviet universities.

"Drang nach Osten" and "turn to Asia"

Now, both in Moscow and in Beijing, they are increasingly feeling pressure on their own frontiers, on their zones of vital interests. The geopolitical reorientation of Ukraine towards the European Union prepared over the years of Moscow’s inaction could become another major success of the West in reducing Russia's living space. Having absorbed the countries of the CMEA and the Warsaw Pact, as well as the Baltic republics of the USSR, the Euro-Atlantic structures at first did not threaten areas inhabited by Russians and Russian-speaking people, carriers of history and culture common with the population of Russia itself. But now Western pressure on the Ukrainian elite has led Russia to a new geopolitical catastrophe, to the prospect of the rapid spread of economic, political, cultural, and military patterns and structures of Western European civilization into the vital space of Russian civilization.

If Moscow is once again confronted with the policy of “drang nach Osten”, begun by the Teutonic knights and continued by the Polish kings, Napoleon and Hitler, then China again feels the onslaught on its maritime lines, launched by Japanese pirates and continued by the Anglo-French squadrons during the two Opium wars (1840-1842 and 1854-1860), and the Americans during the crisis in the Taiwan Strait at the end of the 50-s of the last century. Proclaimed by Obama in 2011, the “Turn to Asia” strategy is frankly aimed at surrounding China. China, which has become a “workshop of the world”, delivers 80% of the goods produced and raw materials purchased by sea. In this regard, two-thirds of the US Navy forces are being pushed into the Pacific basin, military treaties with old allies are being activated (Japan, South Korea, Australia), new military ties are being established (Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia), and attempts are being made to win over non-engaged countries of the Indian Ocean basin (India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka). An attempt is being made to prevent China, the second economy of the world, into the hastily created TTP free trade zone (Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership).

The simultaneous containment of Russia and China by America and its allies pushes the two neighboring countries towards each other, strengthens their current strategic partnership, and forces them to consider the transition to a military-political alliance in one or another "innovative" form. The main obstacle on the way to the transition of strategic interaction to a qualitatively new level is the mutual distrust that persists in public opinion and among the political elites of both countries. A reflection of the phantom pains from three decades of confrontation is the publication of the Russian media about the Chinese preparing to jump to the North. tank divisions, and the Chinese - about "second-rate Russia", which is unworthy to be a partner of the Celestial Empire.

Russian-Chinese military-political alliance: version 2.0

The realization of the interaction potential is also hampered by the negative experience accumulated over the past years by state and private structures of both countries. These are, for example, the participation of Chinese companies in buying up forest, fish and other resources of the Far East stolen by our corrupt officials and gangsters, copying equipment samples. These are the raider seizures of the success of Chinese companies in Russia, the demands of bribes even for the implementation of projects approved at the level of heads of state, etc. This is an increasingly active work of Chinese state and private companies in Central Asia, which is viewed in Moscow as a sphere of influence of Russia. The strategy of the “Economic Zone of the Great Silk Road”, proclaimed last year by Xi Jinping, at first provoked a mixed reaction. However, after the recent conversation between the two presidents in Sochi, the countries agreed to jointly participate in the implementation of the strategy and even connect the projects of Transsib and BAM modernization to it.

Putin marked his arrival in the Kremlin with the signing of the Treaty on Good-Neighborhood, Friendship and Cooperation between Russia and China on July 16 in Moscow on 2001. This document has worked well for a decade and provided the basis for a full-fledged strategic partnership. But in the new conditions it is advisable not only to increase the volume of interaction, but also to bring it to a new level - the level of military-political union.

A union formed in terms of international law would not only strengthen the positions of both countries in the world arena, but also end the remnants of mutual distrust that impede the transition of cooperation to a higher level. The new treaty would strengthen the legitimacy of the “Agreement on the settlement of controversial border issues” signed in 2004, forever eliminating the possibility of territorial claims. At the expense of Chinese capital, the experience of accelerated development of lagging regions and labor resources, we could achieve a real breakthrough in the arrangement of the Russian East, freeing fans of other people's good from the illusions about the possibility of "internationalization" of its natural wealth. A new qualitative leap in bilateral relations would also be a guarantee against the repetition of the sad experience of 60's, when stagnation in the post-Stalin era led first to a cooling of the entire array of bilateral ties, and then to break alliance relations.

If you don't pedal all the time, the bike will fall. This simple truth can also be applied to such complex issues as international relations. The harsh political reality does not allow us or the Chinese to relax.

    This is an increasingly active work of Chinese state and private companies in Central Asia, which is seen in Moscow as a sphere of influence of Russia.

                    Guys, Cleqq is a well-known proponent of Kazakhstan’s integration with the EU and NATO membership. Hence these comments. But she doesn’t want to go down to the sinful earth.
                    NATO. Transition to NATO standards - there will not be enough gold and foreign exchange reserves. Let's take only the tanks. 1 T-000 must be changed - not matching the caliber. 72 tanks somewhere around 1000 billion without training. The same amount for ammunition. And in reserve another 5 are T-4 and T-000. And these are just tanks. This is a purely financial side. Political. The PRC and the Russian Federation will be forced to bring up their troops to our borders and strengthen the borders. Agreements on the CSTO and with the PRC in terms of security in the scrap. Surely there will be a NATO base (too interesting point in terms of geographical location) with the ensuing "consultants", incl. NGOs, and public discontent. There will be tension within the country and at the borders. My question is: "In such cases, independence and sovereignty will increase or not." Obviously not. We will be under the gun of the RF and PRC nuclear weapons. Do we need this? It follows from this that we cannot accept NATO standards and join them! Or am I not reasoning logically? Therefore, the path chosen by NAS is the only correct and least costly one. The creation of the CSTO and the building of friendly relations (including with China) is a guarantee of Kazakhstan's INDEPENDENCE AND SOVEREIGNTY. And strengthening ties with neighbors with the creation of the Customs Union, SCO, etc. etc. STRENGTHENING is the main component of SOVEREIGNTY - SECURITY.
                    EU. They will require first association with the ensuing conditions. Let's take the last example with Ukraine. We open the market (zeroing rates there) for EU goods and carry out standardization according to their patterns. If Ukraine needed 160 billion for the transition to EU standards and certification, then let us 60 billion. And then, like with Turkey. During this time, our market and industry will fall under the EU. Neither their banks, nor producers of domestic consumer goods, no agriculture - examples are mountains (the countries of Eastern Europe and the Baltic States). And their political demands, such as this blue masquerade. And Russia will tell us: "Now you are not an ALLY, BUT A COMPETITOR. GET EUROPEAN TARIFFS FOR TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS." And they will begin to block oil and gas pipelines, as Ukraine did and will denigrate our suppliers before the West. consumers. The game will be tough - how will you transport grain (after all, we rent many grain cars in Russia)? The Urals (no matter how much it costs) will switch to Russian coal. Do you want to get miners from Ekibastuz and Karaganda in the areas of Astana? Where and how will you sell and transport our goods? Remains across the Caspian. But Azerbaijan has limited transport opportunities - they themselves often use Russian ones. It turns out that we will remain in the blockade, behind the Iron Curtain.
                    That's where such games lead us. The degradation and slide into the situation of Afghanistan.
                    Collaborate - yes, trade - yes. But a union can be built if you are recognized as equal and you have the same worldview. Neither one nor the other will succeed with the EU and not. And if we talk about scientific, humanitarian, cultural, etc. ties, then we have no closer countries of the former USSR. This will be a disaster for our science and culture. This is the heritage of our ancestors, it cannot be erased from our lives even if someone wants to.
                    We will have Ukraine if we go to the EU and NATO. And we will find a replacement for NAS - there are decent ones. Yes, and he himself is not, probably preparing a replacement. Until the fall, I thought it was Tasmagambetov. But he returned Tokaev to the UN - this is his closest ally, who is known everywhere in the world. So let's see. hi

                      Dear Kasym ... Cleqq is not a supporter of the EU, but a notorious "titular natspat".
                      And let’s honestly there are already not a few of such people in Kazakhstan. And the state’s policy in this case is not much better than the one in Ukraine - nationalism, Muslimism, plunder and sale of all resources, corruption on a state scale, impoverishment of the population.

                        For me, the concept of "title natspat" is not clear.
                        You know, when I was young, I didn’t understand much either. There were things for which it is still a shame, but life teaches. A lot of young people study and work abroad. According to statistics, only students under 14. They see that the standard of living in Europe is better than ours. Therefore, European views appear. Nothing wrong . But when life experience and understanding of nat. interests, why this is so, and not differently. Our initial conditions (nothing immediately appears) that were a little over 000 years old. Then even a blind person will see progress. And the fact that such youth is present and enters into discussions, I am only glad.
                        I don't see anything in common about comparison with Ukraine. STABILITY is what my acquaintances from Ukraine, who have been here 3 times, noted. "You can say whatever you want for Nazarbayev. But what he does for the country is immediately obvious. We do not have such economic programs! AND WHAT THEY WORK AND GIVE A RESULT, BUT IT MEANS IT WORKS. We do not have such GDP growth! THERE ARE NO SUCH CONDITIONS FOR BUSINESS! YOU PUT TASKS FOR 50 YEARS AHEAD, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW! ". These are not my words.
                        1. Nationalism. Then why did they create an ANC of power? Why give 9 seats in parliament? Created nat. Theaters: Korean, Uzbek, etc. , except for those that were -Russian, Kazakh, etc. .. Why spend the money? Why have half of the Russian schools (example. Alma-Ata. Microdistrict Koktem 1,2 and 3. 81 and 51 Russian schools, 136 Kazakh, mixed RFMS and music school Baiseitova., Near Russian 21.)? Why promote in 3 languages ​​and register the status of Russian in the Constitution?
                        2. Muslimization. Probably still, at least ISLAMIZATION. Understand when the USSR collapsed with all the ideals and ideas, then people needed a replacement. And many are looking for them in religion. See how the CHURCH is gaining strength in Russia. The same thing in Kazakhstan. BUT ... Where do you see the radicals with the belts of martyrs, their demands for a change of power, terrorist attacks, etc. . The authorities, on the contrary, have recently banned religious studies abroad. Authorities talk about secular power. Religion is separated from the government and even more so from the adoption of some vitally important decisions for the country.
                        All faiths are given equal conditions. Example, on the corner of Al-Farabi and Rozabakiyev streets, a church is being built.
                        3. Theft and sale of all resources. You can agree somewhere, but where to object. “We followed the path of some Arab countries. We did not have money and technologies for the development of oil and gas fields (even the USSR did not have them, if we talk about the development of Tengiz and Kashagan). We let foreigners in, but in 20 years we have 50% for Tengiz, 10% at Karachaganak and 8% at Kashagen. Kazakhstan extracts about 33% of its oil in the person of KazMunayGaz. And we also have a priority to buy out any package if someone decides to leave the raw materials sector of Kazakhstan. "
                        Kazakhstan, as you remember, at the dawn of independence, the country had 0 reserves. And debts grew like a snowball. Where to get the money to put out the torch and start mining in Tengiz? I would look at you if you were at the helm of the country.
                        4. Corruption. Yes, I agree. But it should be noted that the landing also began. Yes and where it is not. Even in China, the United States and Europe, this problem is.
                        5. Poverty. So CAPITALISM, his mother ... And the wildest ... And no matter how sad. hi

        I would like to repeat once again that we (more precisely, China with us) does not have an alliance. If we cooperate in some areas, then this is a necessary measure, we are fellow travelers until a certain moment. Actually, why the alliance with China 1.0 collapsed - because of the refusal of the USSR to transfer nuclear technologies to China in the first place. Immediately, "revisionists" appeared in the USSR, with whom Mao was out of the way. It is possible that it will be the same in the foreseeable future - as soon as China feels that it can do without Russia, then friction will begin: from border claims to financial problems.
        And what we call an alliance with China is similar to the judgments of my youngest son (10 years): he calls any acquaintance his friend, not understanding the meaning of this word.

      Dear, there is such a principle in politics: summation of strength and mutual compensation of individual weaknesses.
      The power of Russia -
      - Vera
      - sovereignty
      - own multilingual self-sufficient Mir with a long history
      - Natural resources
      - territory

      weaknesses -
      demography

      The strength of China is
      - a thousand-year-old story, who knows how long we coexisted with our neighbors?
      - the growing "global factory of the 21st century" - which needs resources
      - demography

      weaknesses -
      - lack of historical heritage in the development of science, technology and technology, the ability to make breakthrough solutions ("paradoxical thinking")

      The common thing that connects us is
      - together shed blood in wars against common enemies
      - the similarity of Asian thinking inherent only to the peoples living in our territories (Kipling:
      We will try to understand that a Russian is a charming person while he remains in his shirt. As a representative of the East, he is charming. And only when he insists that they look at him as a representative of the most eastern of the western peoples, and not as a representative of the westernmost of the eastern ones, does he become an ethnic anomaly, which is extremely difficult to deal with. Even the owner himself never knows which side of his nature will open next.

      We are much more interesting for China. But, above all, we are for him a strategic rear, without which it is impossible to concentrate on the southeast direction.

        China's economic growth has become possible due to the intensive exploitation of its natural resources (of course, not only due to this). The consequence of this was an environmental disaster in many areas of China. For China, it will be very profitable to drive energy from Russia, so as not to completely ruin our own ecology.
        It is clear that there are no absolutely self-sufficient countries in the world, but China's self-sufficiency is manifested not only in relative energy independence, but in the fact that its leadership’s policy is focused on the good of its country. In the event of a divergence of interests, China will easily change orientation.

          In addition, for the second year in a row, China has been participating in a war of "nerves" over the no-man's land oil and gas reserves in the South China Sea. This is the potential for which he is now aiming, and which will allow him to diversify the balance sheet.

    If we take a sober look at all the circumstances, as the author is trying to do, then it is obvious that neither China nor Russia alone can cope with the growing threat to national interests, because as it is clear for the Anglo-Saxons, everything that is white has long been black, we (and Russia, and China) we live according to different principles, on the basis of different moral foundations.

    The article put a minus and here's why. The article is crude, the real state of affairs is not disclosed at all, the next theses in the spirit of “Russian and Chinese are brothers forever.” China is the same aggressor as the United States. Only the United States stupidly solves its geopolitical tasks in other countries with the help of its military power and the subsequent pumping of dollars there. China operates on the principle of "economic expansion." The so-called "ownerless" territories are seized in the "Chihara", creating food and raw material colonies there. And it does not matter which country is included in this list. played by the rules dictated by China. For example, since 2011, China has been growing wheat, soybeans and other agricultural products in Argentina, and transports the harvest to itself. Because the Chinese population is no longer able to feed only the Chinese land. Argentina, by the way, is not the only country, where China reached - in Nicaragua, China is building a huge canal, which will be longer than Panama. Similar processes are taking place in Africa - in Mozambique, Nigeria, Congo, Tanzania.here I recently listened to the radio. A resident from Vladivostok calls and says: "We are not afraid that China will come, we are afraid that it will leave." Unrest in Ukraine, who do you think is in the black? The West, which in case of victory of the Maidan, will receive the economically poor western territory? Or Russia, on whose head the wrath of the "democratic-liberal" Western community will fall if we help Yanukovych. Or maybe China with its Crimean-Chinese memorandum on investments in agriculture and on the construction of a giant port in the vicinity of Yevpatoria, which, in connection with the Maidan, no one remembers, but it exists and is being implemented.
    So do not extol and do good Russian-Chinese relations. Relations like China has with Russia, with more than half of the world. There is nothing unique here. China needs a vassal and nothing more. Moreover, a vassal from which, something can be taken, and somewhere and rake his dirt, vassal, with his hands. We need to speak with them on equal terms, but for now I personally do not see this.

    In this period of time, we need each other sooo much, since China now only spreads its wings, and we provide it with energy, hydrocarbons, etc. We are also the main market for Chinese consumer goods. But when China completely takes wing, then there may be two development options:
    1. (Best) China is still friendly with us and holds us as its raw materials appendage, if possible without prejudice to our national and territorial interests. Activating his views on Japan and other countries.
    2. (Worst) China presents us with territorial claims and, under a plausible pretext, captures our Far East, Khabarovsk Territory and part of Siberia. Of course, we resist, but the entire population of our country is smaller than their regular army, moreover, armed with the most modern weapons.

    China will betray us, and part of Russia will take over - I think so. Then it will be difficult for us to return our lands back. The Chinese are very dangerous neighbors. In the early 2000s I was in Dalniy (Dalian) for a couple of weeks, standing next to the Varyag. During the day, there was silence and only talk about the fact that it would be a floating casino, and at night the teams of welders began to work - I saw it myself. Now China has an aircraft carrier, and we only have pieces of paper. For many years he has worked in multinational teams of over 60 nations. He constantly worked with retirees and reserve officers of the Armed Forces and the Navy of different countries. And for myself I think that the Russians need not beware of the Anglo-Saxons, but the Asians. The Anglo-Saxons are no longer warriors, the Chinese have not yet become warriors, but they will soon be.

        Sorry! Not twice, but at least three times. Napoleon Banopart made a pact with Paul 1, and the Cossacks were already on their way to India. But Pavel suffered an apoplectic stroke, and this is how, by magic, the same Cossacks are fighting the same Napoleon Banopart. This story is certainly much longer, more colorful and scary. Then the war with Japan in 1905, also happened not without the participation of the same Anglo-Saxons. And of course the first and second world wars. In general, basically all wars in the world take place either with their participation (secret or open), or with their handouts. They themselves try to remain in the shadows, and then simply bet on the winner, if there is one, if there is none, they simply take everything for themselves.

And don’t be friends, so maybe you don’t wait for the Peretonites, but cut to hell? Well, attack yourself, and all for a short time? Or maybe you work for the Chinese, tell us here how terrible they are and what we are facing They are helpless? And the British are deceitful, they will deceive, and, as you know, the Englishwoman spoils. Are the Negroes smelly and far away, and we don’t have to do business with them? You’ll be surprised for sure, but you need to be friends even with our so-called partners, not to mention closest neighbors. And it's not a stupid childish principle, it’s not good to fight. Although it’s also in it.

      It seems that all this does not follow from what you said. But it follows. Who do you propose to be friends with? And why are the Chinese worse than the British? Or Indians, for example, with whom for example we have many military contracts, and they have 20 !!!!! TWENTY MILLION programmers and already almost one and a half billion people, whom we are actively pulling up to the level of Germany, the model of 1939? And how are the brahmanas dearer to your heart that you are so afraid of the Shaolinites? Are you impressed by the Chinese tales that they tell themselves about themselves, and patient and invented (but didn’t copy) everything in the world, and finally? If you are so impressionable, remember Russian history, believe me, it’s a solid action game, where are the Chinese, whom we incidentally fought more than once and on their territory with all their superiority in the population Because this ratio was not even created in the 20th century. And in the 19th, China was the most populated country in the world - 500 million people. You do not need to express, and there is a terrible neighbor, and partners, but we need to be friends with everyone. We and so the most warring country, we would not have to fight at least some time, make friends so sad ..

      And China is even worse. They will make us their slaves and take our land so that we don’t even notice it. If necessary, they will wait a very long time,
      Facts on the table! For example, I have facts that over the past 100 years we have fought twice with Germany, and we fought terribly, over the past 200 years we have fought several times with England, France, Poland and practically all the countries of "peace-loving" Europe. And China? For several hundred years (!) 2-3 small conflicts. The rest of the time we live quietly nearby, make friends, trade, and if our leaders pursue a smart foreign policy, then China will not be our enemy.

    China is a very insidious enemy. He has never been a friend to Russia and the surrounding countries. How many peoples have been swallowed up in the tenacious arms of the Chinese friendship. So you need to be very careful with them (with an "ax" in your bosom). and we must rely on ourselves and our closest allies. And there are only two of them, Kazakhstan and Belarus.

        Yes, Kazakhstan is not a friend of Russia. And on the account of the conflict, this is an internal problem of Georgia and we recognize the territorial integrity.

        Do not judge the people by one person. Moreover, there are 30% Russians. And it is necessary to be careful with Kiai, it was not in vain that the USSR, with a huge advantage in nuclear weapons, kept a large military grouping in the Far East. Aldo correctly put it, "to be friends", but the ax must be kept ready. Germany in the 40s taught us a lesson of "friendship" and "cooperation". hi

      Again, as I already asked above, where are the FACTS? Provide a list of countries that China has swallowed. Or have not yet had time to dream up?

    China is sympathetic to Russia and distrusting pedoEurope and the gay USA. in the near future, China will become one of the strongest players on the planet and good relations, and even more so, Russia simply needs an alliance with it. I am sure that together with China we will once sign at the White House in Washington as our grandfathers on the Reichstag

    The Russian Federation may not have other allies, for all of Europe looks into America’s mouth and moves in line with their policies. China and even India can become real allies of Russia.

    Fight the Chinese, do not respect yourself. From the point of view of engineering, geographic and military conditions, China is not a rival to us. But the Americans are interesting to do. Learn the history of (military) gentlemen, or it will teach you.

    In Soviet times, you wouldn’t dare to yoop on any topic. We had and will have enemies and friends, and so what? To fight with everyone? The war with China is the death of both China and Russia, the partners will bother and help. Yes, whether we even the worst enemies with China, we will not fight. It is unprofitable and deadly. Not in terms of danger per se, but in terms of the danger of the destruction of Russia and China, by an international coalition, as planned at the end of World War II. Only whistles, peacekeepers will run finish off and profit. You’re wrongly insulting the professional military by denying them intelligence and sanity. Do you think that in Soviet times there was no pro-army in the army, since America and America were not annoyed, and the professional military doesn’t think, just wave a saber and make a stand on a poster about a potential adversary. We need to be friends even with those we hate, and it is beneficial to be friends. And now no one will say that the Chinese are friends to us. We are friends against China with India. We have constant friction with China I eat on a number of issues, we do not supply China with the latest types of weapons, and together we create with India, etc., etc. But this does not mean that we do NOT need to be friends with China. We can not be friends with Burkina Faso, but You need to be friends with China. And you need to be friends with Japan, to hell with them and not the islands, but you still need to be friends. We are not in the same position as NOT to be friends. We already have an armed conflict on the border.

    By the way, I believe that an alliance with Kazakhstan would be economically more beneficial for Russia,

    Russia yes, no Kazakhstan. We need to distance ourselves as soon as possible from Putin's Russia.


    Presidents come and go, but the country remains. Even if you distance yourself by means of a concrete fence, an iron curtain and other similar barriers, will everything be good for you right away? Will you be transformed over time or will you become a very independent and self-sufficient country? Then wait for other guests and partners - "how, are you still square ?! Then we are coming to you!" And really, these partners will wash you off like that - Mom, don't worry ...

    "Thanks to Chinese capital, the experience of accelerated development of lagging regions and labor resources, we could achieve a real breakthrough in the arrangement of the Russian East" - Ie. without war, just give all of Siberia and the Far East to China and for what? To annoy the United States? China is currently an aggressively developing state, whose dangerous foreign policy tricks can lead to irreversible consequences for the whole world, and the author of the article invites Russia to enter into an alliance with this "rich boy" with a nuclear club. I call him a boy because they got a little rich, increased their presence in different parts of the world and immediately began to conflict.
