CHINA, not Russia, is the real threat.

There's a lot of relatively unpopulated, resource-rich land in Siberia, right next door to China. I bet both Xi and Putin are aware of this.

The US and Russia would be natural allies against Chinese expansion, if 70 years of post-WW II history hadn't set them at odds. Not to mention the Indians, who fight off Chinese expansion constantly.

Mongolia has a lot of land, poor people and not much of an army.
