Here is the bottom line.

"The Friendship Agreement" between Russia and China was struck July 2001. It was before September 11, 2001 of which Russia was the first country in Afghanistan to support our troops with a medical unit.

Russia and China signed a treaty of ''friendship and cooperation'' today, (click here) binding the two giants closer in the next 20 years and also committing them to oppose jointly much of the framework for international security that the United States is seeking to erect after the cold war.
Composed of 25 articles, the treaty joins Russia and China formally in opposing the United States' missile plans and places Russia more firmly behind China's claim of sovereignty over the island of Taiwan. It also strengthens military cooperation between Beijing and Moscow while rejecting the intervention that NATO undertook in 1999 in the Balkans to stop the killing of civilians.
The accord, sought by China, was concluded in a Kremlin ceremony with effusive gestures of camaraderie. The treaty bears the markings of a strategic pact that sets forth the deep concerns shared by Moscow and Beijing about a new world order dominated by the United States and its European allies. The agreement will quite likely be the center of discussion this week when President Bush and the leaders of the large industrial countries sit down with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia at a summit meeting in Italy.

One Russian commentator here described the treaty as ''an act of friendship against America.''...
A Bush had been elected with Cheney as Vice President and the USA overnight became a threat.

The Friendship Agreement probably existed before July of 2001 in some dark room in the Kremlin where documents are kept for emergency circumstances, but, it was signed after the USA elected the most aggressively stupid duo in it's history. It was an emergency for the powers in Asia.

Today, with war mongering heard in every corner of the Republican convention the tensions are being ramped up in Asia for a confrontation to end all confrontations. China and Russia are tired of the American landscape and are prepared to do the unthinkable. The lack of Chinese presence at The Hague is an obvious message no one can ignore.

Russia and China want peace, but, on their terms only. The word is expansionism. So, the major powers are backed into a powder keg and I believe this is the end of hatred between the five nuclear countries. That is UNLESS the next USA administration throws away eight years of a peace initiative that is finally seeing the entire global community unite against 'an idea'; the common enemy. No other force could bring about a world determined to end a regime that is globally genocidal.

President Obama has brought together the greatest coalition of countries to settle on peace to end hatred between ethnicities. Ending systemic problems with rebels will end war and bring about an understanding of cultural differences enforced by a global resolve for peace.

President Obama also harnessed willingness within this global alliance to end the climate crisis and protect citizen's lives. 

That said, China and Russia are locked into viewing their sovereignty through a common enemy's ability to wage war, the USA. With the USA and NATO strong allies, there enters the idea peace is war in a different form. Peace is war against the old paradigm of global security. Peace is a war that is worthy of it's purpose and should be successful at every front. Europe is more than an ally, it is the linchpin that can reassure peace and how that will result in borders with Russia. If Russia can step away from the war of expansionism, it can bring about peace for it's people and a return to a far better Russian economy. 

Russia is in isolationism to maintain it's sovereignty. Economics is the new war and it needs to end with better quality of life for all people.
