I don’t know about Putin and the Mullahs, but Russia and China seem to have increasingly a common cause. They are not natural allies because they would each like to own big chunks of Asia. But the global situation seems to be isolating both Russia and China and so Russia and China are getting closer together.
Who thinks that’s a swell thing? Nobody. But we’re making it happen. And I guess we’re also causing Iran to have stronger ties with Russia. Also double-plus good.
The only link China-Russia have is anti-Americanism
