Wow...you've just undermined in 3 sentences, countless analysis, reports and studies of Stratfor and some other non important groups like NATO defense report regarding Russian military.
I'm not trying to be cocky here, but it would be better for you to just google a bit before post something like that my friend...
Reckoning Bomb - Unleashes the Reckoning upon the Scourge, inflicting ridiculous amounts of damage. Some might even say the damage is ludicrous.
One of the things that make me giggle about this thread is that i had brought up that UK is no match for Russia 100 times before in various threads and Kell and his funboys were going mad. I guess they had to hear it from the government to understand.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
I only brought that now drink some vinegar . I also said that the is no EU country that could 1 v 1 Russia. And the Jap and China was a typo as so many times i've pointed out and other pointed out to you. 100 posts about China + Russia and you try to troll for that 1 typo like a 12 years old.
And the China + Russia is inevitable if USA continues its current path.
Yes your famous typo, I got a whole list of your less thought out, I mean "typos"
I've yet to figure out how China need Russia for anything seems to be the other way around quite frankly. Mutual interests from time to time != allies.

Anything is a plausible scenario if the hell freezes over

I was saying that SCO could be the next anti USA or if not SCO another form of alliance between China and Russia for 100's of pages in the Putin thread.
The reason is simple: Necessity.
Whoever can't see this its better of playing with his barbies. USA is pushing hard in South China sea and even if they stop Japan and China have disputes on other islands too. Since USA is Japan's ally, USA will be dragged in such conflict if ever happens.
China cant survive allone and they know it. Russia can't survive alone and they know it. If you put both together and IF USA keeps putting pressure on the area, an alliance in inevitable in my honest opinion.
Except Russia wont like that.
It would be swallowed by china in that scenario.
It's much more likely it makes some sort of peace with the EU than that.
Because while the EU would force it to change a lot more, theu would also most likely be okay with showering them with the money they are in need of too change and it would then constitute one fifth of the EU rather than one tenth of 'Ruina' - The name is terrible too.
Now the Japan and china scenario (while out there mind you) might come to be because both 'need' each other, and because of Korea.
Remember Japan and south Korea buried the hatchet, i could see a scenario where the north goes kaput and the only diplomatic solution that can be found, is kicking the US out of Korea.
Re-jiggering the balance in the region completely.
Or Okinawa.

Nah i doubt it. As i said it all depends on the stance that will USA get with the new president. If the hawk gets elected and pushes hard on eastern Europe and on South China sea it is almost certain that there will be an alliance.
Besides, the future is east. It good for them to build ties even if they become pals again with some of the European countries that seem to have problems with them.
And as for the Chinese scenarios of stealing land from Russia, these are Sci-Fi scenarios. Don't listen to some of the posters here, they are dreaming.
I think it depends on whether or not Russia goes kaput in 5-10 years, personally I doubt it, but that is the thing near term.
But Russia is in the west - That is another reason against the alliance by the way.Besides, the future is east. It good for them to build ties even if they become pals again with some of the European countries that seem to have problems with them.If Russia gets tied into china, china will by outnumbering them 10:1 make Russia it's bitch.

Russia needs the EU more than the EU needs Russia.
On the other hand, they have money, and forever settling this border dispute would be nice - Which is why i think if Russia makes a solid play either way, its going to be by becoming the 28th or 29th member of the EU.
