Sure, when they couldn’t get help with the bully they had to curry favor. So, how is it working out? China is building it’s military and trying to weaken the US on multiple fronts.

Buddy of mine was in the Russian Army once. Due to having made a serious error in a philosophy class (he forgot to check the Party positions first ~ in a large file cabinet called Party positions) he was sent to the FAR EAST, and I mean FAR EAST.

He spent most of two years in an area with log houses, behind a stockade (wolves were a problem), with erratic gasoline powered generators, little heat, no warm water ~ eating lunch meat and potatoes, across from a big, booming CHINESE CITY of several million people right across the river.

Here he was in one of the emptiest spots on Earth and there were the Chinese living right there in one of the most crowded spots on Earth.

He said he learned what Soviet Defense was all about down on the border ~ and it had nothing to do with the West.
