#1 It's business. Who has power, who can help who. Meanwhile, Puty has no problem threatening and territorially posturing with Poland and the Baltic States. I think the analysis back in the Kremlin is that China is going to be the economic bully boy on the Eurasian continent while Russia stagnates. No need to provide provocation which might end up with the loss of the Siberian resource region.

#2 I think you're partly correct P2K. China is an economic powerhouse who benefits Putie immensely. They have a whole new round of military technology to sell the Chicoms, who can now easily afford the payments. Putie is willing to give a little to stay in their good graces. They are both growing and puffing their chests together. Back to harmony for the commies.

#3 I'm still waiting for the Russians and Japanese to get together and work out the transfer of those islands the Russkies grabbed at the end of WW2. It seems Japanese know-how and need of raw materials would go well with Russia's possession of the islands and raw materials.

#4 PUTIN now VLADVEDEV appears to also be trying to get CHINA + JAPAN involved in various joint dev projects as per SAKHALIN ISLAND, which IMO is causing a maritime border ripple/domino effect bwtn JAPAN + SOKOR as per minor islets???

#5 Lest we fergit, RUSSIA + IRAN are also pres engaged in ongoing diplo-talks over the establishment of a INTER-NATION TRADE CORRIDOR, which as per OWG FREE TRADE ZONES will prob be linked to to SAKHALIN, etc. + Russia's proposed RUSSO-JAPAN-ALCAN [Arctic?] NORTH PACIFIC CORRIDOR into NORAM.

JAPAN per se is starting talks over dev of another super-corridor linking "the DRAGON ISLE" wid SOKOR, and which in LT will prob also link wid the PHILIPPINES, TAIWAN, + SE ASIA.

"ALL [OWG?] ROADS LEAD TO ROME" = CORSICANT = USA/USSA-USR, at least for time being.
