I'm talking about overall, don't try to deflect with tidbits.No. China is still developing. After all they are behind technologically. Russia´s air defense gives them the leeway they need to operate under US air raids.He's not but that's okay. Currently China is stronger than Russia and we're stronger than China. Pretty much everyone knows this including Putin but of course he can't let on to his own people, that wouldn't look good for him.I don´t know but I guess he is right. In a US-Russian war it is the cost-benefit factor that counts.And you believe him no doubt....According to Putin the Russian military is No 1.Is that why Russia is the junior member of the two? Uummmm......
