Russia and China meld muscle for war games

"Russia and China begin joint war games Thursday, for the first time adding military muscle to a burgeoning partnership that some experts see sweeping away old strategic verities, from the Taiwan Strait to central Asia and beyond.

The week-long maneuvers off the Pacific coast are widely viewed as Moscow lending a mail-gloved hand to China's efforts to warn the United States away from involvement in any future crisis over Taiwan. But preparations to deal with potential unrest in Central Asia may also figure, some say. Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Hu Jintao pledged to work together to prepare their armed forces "to deal with new challenges and threats," listed as extremism, terrorism, and separatism."

Pensamentos:

* quando um imperio aparece, surgem logo mais um ou dois (e depois o conflito é uma questão de tempo?)

* O que o comunismo não conseguiu, o semi-capitalismo (de Estado) consegue

* "Tomaram" conta (com as várias revoluções a cores) dos jardins da Rússia, esta volta-se para o o vizinho das traseiras
