Russia & China "who needs the rest of the World"

[evoman3957]

Russia have just signed a deal with China, to supply them with Gas for the next 30 Years and considering everything I pick up these Days; seems to be made in China, it's as if they're saying "who needs the rest of the World".

Well... I haven't had time to research it.  But someone said the deal might have fallen through.

I'm thinking that if it has?  Putin, might make it up a bit from us.  After our right Charlie, displeased him.

Still never mind Charlie will be able to afford it.

I think we should all be worried, not just the USA although it did take them 10 years to reach the final agreement.

China has invested in our infrastructure: Hinkley Point B nuclear.power station in partnership with EDF (French).

China abstained from a UN security council vote in March that would have rejected a referendum that Russia backed in Crimea before it annexed it. China has also joined Russia in vetoing UN attempts to sanction the regime of Bashar Assad fighting in Syria. The two have taken similar stances over issues such as Iran’s nuclear programme.

The EU better get its act together and fast!

Not everyone sees the Americans as the "good guys " 

 There are a billion Chinese , and  a 160 million Russians  , why should they wait for the USA to tell them what is right and what is wrong ?

The USA has a defence budget 10 times bigger than Russia's , the USA has used its military might in 30 odd countries in the last 40 years .

25 years after the collpase of the Soviet Union , American troops have advanced ever Eastwards , till they border Russia itself .
