Russia & China Working Together...

Again. Russia and China is a dynamic duo that should be watched ever so closely. With the way that America and China have been butting heads about oh so many issues lately, it doesn't surprise me that Russia is moving in for the "buddy buddy" relationship.

"Fighter jets streaked through the air as Russian and Chinese forces held their first joint maneuvers on Russian land Friday in a demonstration of their growing military ties and a shared desire to counter U.S. global clout.

The war games in the southern Ural Mountains involved some 6,000 troops from Russia and China along with a handful of soldiers from four ex-Soviet Central Asian nations that are part of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional group dominated by Moscow and Beijing.

The drills coincided with a massive Russian Air Force exercise in which dozens of Russian strategic bombers ranged far over the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans." (article)

This would be a great time to take photos over the waters to find and locate any US ships. That way the Chinese subs that have been held secret from the Americans, until recently spotted by Google Earth.

I tell you, this is something the US President and the Defense Secretary are probably keeping a close eye on. With Russia providing arms and nuclear technology to Iran, and trying to keep the United States from putting a missile shield in Europe, China is just icing on the cake. No doubt Russia has enough small armaments to supply the Chinese army, and still have enough to sell to Iran, America should be looking for ways to strengthen its ties to Great Britain, Israel, and other important allies... including working with Mexico. Venezuela is not far off, and it would be harmful to burden the bordering countries when we may need them.

I could see the Chinese and Venezuelan Navies hitting up the coast guard, Russia launching nuclear warheads, and then a possible gateway into America from the back door?
