My only concern is we shouldn't be fully trusting russia since they have had and still might have imperialistic tendencies in Asia, especially Central Asia. If in the future, russia decides to go against the east, then that would be very concerning given the amount of practice and military innovations they would be making with their conflict against NATO

Mmm.. Xi has a good point. He keeps Putin close but never really gives him full approval of what he does. He keeps him close enough to know what he's up to, gives him the nod but never publicly supports his actions. He knows Putin and the Russians are just battering rams and a massive buffer against western aggression. At the end of the day, Slavs are not Anglos. They've got the warlike state of whites with the discipline of Asians, but the hot headedness of hapas. And Mongolian brutality. Basically just bad enough to be useful in war but good enough to not buy into Anglo faggotry and cold bloodedness.
