At any moment, Russia can initiate a coup in Kiev (Kyiv.) They can wag dog one inside the Kremlin. The souls of these Vikings haven't changed one bit. But don't allow their violent ways to deceive you into believing they're not clever. They mastered chess. They know how to live rent-free inside a head. Let's take Russian Roulette for example. One bullet, five empty chambers. It's also a metaphor. You figure that one out.
China's in Russia's backyard. But from Beijing's perspective, it's the other way around. See China always has Russia's king in check. So how could Moscow ever have the upper hand against their communist neighbors? Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. Putin knows what he's doing. He also understands math. China's 1.5 billion to his 145 million, ugh... that's a no-brainer of who would win a battle. But what if he collaborated with another mighty force combined of 1.3 billion? Ah, yes, the battlefield is now even. However, India remains mutual. That nation would decide who triumphs in the end.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: I understand China has other allies than Russia. Africa, Middle East, South America, NK, etc. But no one gives a fuck about them so they don't count.
