It is not about the money. It is about control. Russia and China have entered into a treaty on 7/16/01 that ties the two even closer. This treaty was like the 1,5,10 year treaties prior to the Sino-Soviet split in the late 1950's. As a bonus in this treaty the Russians are obligated to come to China's aid(political, military, and economic) in the event that there is a fight over Taiwan and the U.S. or if anyone else gets involved(sounds WWIish to me). I don't see Russia blindly entering a treaty that could cause a conflict of interest(U.S.). They know which way the wind is blowing and it is against the West.

The Russians have helped them immensely with manufacturing, aerospace, navy, infantry weaponry(fuel air bombs according to a several year old congressional hearing). The Chinese have positioned themselves at or near all the world's major water ways(Panama, sub bases on the tip of South Africa, poised to strike in the Straights of Taiwan, large amount of military and so called workers in the Sudan[right next to Egypt]. The Chinese are using Muslim extremists, ISI, Pakistan to attempt the destabilization of India while Russia aids India with weapons tech. Yet Russia says nothing of the advances that would end very lucrative deals; it is like they want a war in that region. Maybe for the sake of returning to the glory days? Once out of power it tends to drive a country insane thus they lust after it.

On thing is for certain, Russia is playing us for fools. They make open ended deals with us, but make underhanded deals with those who hate our guts and will do anything to destroy us. They continue the bio-weapons program under Biopreparate. There military writes scathing views toward us in their inner circles. We know that the top Red Mafia officials answer to head military leaders in the Russian government back home. Similarly, it has been known that in the 1950's the soviets penetrated organized crime to corrupt the West, run drugs for capital that was badly needed, and gain intelligence from the inner circles of intel services of various countries. The corruption in Russia is no different from the corruption in the Soviet days. This corruption is the essences of Marxist/Leninist ideology. Think of it this way, it is nothing but one giant organized crime syndicate that will unite when there is something that all parties want. Once that is achieved, it is back to double crossing your brother so to speak.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
