06/25/2008: "Russia likes to think of the US as it's main rival - but would China be more realistic?"

Since border clashes erupted between China and the Soviet Union on the Ussuri River in 1969, Russian suspicions of Beijing have run deep. Chabola's officers are open about who they think Russia should truly fear: "the Chinese." One of the officers says that he read somewhere that Beijing has agreed not to pursue its territorial claims against Russia until 2015, "but what happens after that?"

These fears, as plainly as they are expressed by soldiers at this base, are merely worded somewhat more politely in the analyses of Moscow's political scientists. They write that the Kremlin and the military leadership still see the world through the prism of relations with the United States, and that Moscow is obsessed with a pathological desire for equality with its arch-rival and has no realistic understanding of future military dangers. According to the experts at the Institute for National Strategy, "the assumption that NATO is our main potential adversary seems rather doubtful today."

Russia should keep its eye on Beijing, says Stanislav Belkovsky, as he sits in the Akademiya Restaurant and broodingly stirs his cappuccino. According to Belkovsky, both China's propaganda and its military developments indicate that the country will expand primarily in the direction of Russia.

"What amazes us," says Belkovsky, the strategist who is so unpopular at home, "is that our leadership has simply ignored the Chinese threat until now."

[ In many respects China and Russia should be friendly towards each other and stand against the US/Israeli globalisation push. But since the US is on it's way out, and China is on the up, as far as superpower status is concerned, it really seems that China is a more realistic rival than the US. ]

Russia is already a semi-Mongoloid nation as it is. A Chinese invasion, whether aggressive or passive, as is the Mestizo invasion of the US, would simply be the culmination of a process that has been going on for centuries. The pressure from NATO and EUSSR to leap completely back into jewish hands doesn't help either.
