I disagree. China has Russia's back diplomatically right now. But China plays a game that is long term. They'll turn their back on Russia in a heart beat, let the west and Russia fight it out, then make a move to take what they really want. The Pacific.

Putin has one thing that Russia hasnt had before, Chinese backing, makes all the difference if you ask me
Can you substantiate that claim with any formal treaties or military pacts between these two nations?
I would hardly think an military alliance is predicated on a hand shake or some kind words of support for a fellow nation that shares a similar view point on some matters.
Please note that Russia is as different From China as the US is...

21st century and you guys talking of a WAR
what do you think will happen? A big FAT NOTHING (maybe and just maybe we'll see a few ships sink and some plans go down buts that will be IT. we will make movies about it and life goes on)
Yes Russia is testing other peoples patients but other people playing the dirty games too.
Can you even see your self SHOOTING your neighbors or a living soul? i defiantly can't (and i hunt for a hobby)
we all want a change in our life's and we think a war is the chance to make that happen ( a few buttons pressed and we respond once more THIS IS NOT SOME F*CKeN SHOOTING GAME its life we do not have a second chance)
we are so brain washed
In all honesty how many of you will actually go and fight for YOUR COUNTRY ( 2/10 at best) others will fight to survive Kill or be killed (not for the country)
so if you think we going to war PLEASE in all means look at the larger Picture what WAR IS
go speak to Vietnam vetrains or if your lucky enough to speak to WW2 vetrains they will draw you a pretty picture if you get them to talk about it.
it is hard to
Putin knows damned well that if it came to an all-out conflict with the west, they don't stand a chance.

Guys let me warn you, if you haven't already read my posts on this guys other threads.
He is using a very very laughable source.
Defencenet is a JOKE.
There is not a single intelligent person who takes that site seriously.
They post so much rubbish and nonsense I don't know where to begin.
Take whatever they post, unless you have seen another source that HAS Credibility, with a fine grain of salt.
Defencenet is just as bad as Debka.
