Russia took advantage of the Opium Wars to threaten China when it could not defend itself and take Outer Manchuria for itself.

As a person from Russia, I will tell you that this moment also surprised me. As the standard of living in China increased, the Chinese, on the contrary, began to get out of Russia. On the other hand, the influence of Chinese business is growing. But the demographic pressure of China, even in the Far East, is much less than the pressure from Central Asia. And for the last 15 years it has been decreasing. In 2019, less than 100 (not thousands, but just 100) Chinese received Russian citizenship. And only 700 Chinese have received a residence permit. It's funny, but in Russia more Americans are getting citizenship and residence permit. There are a lot of Chinese. But it is not clear where, with such a dynamic, they will be able to settle 10 million people in the Russian Far East. Their northern provinces are shrinking due to the outflow to the south of China and low fertility. What should force the Chinese to travel in the millions to Russia if they leave their territories with a more favorable climate?

That's right. The Russians have never trusted Red China, and with good reason. In the late 60s Soviet troops pushed back with tanks, rocket and artillery fire a Chinese "incursion". Soon Moscow was arming and helping India with that same 'problem'. And modern Russia continues to do so.

They make absolutely ZERO sense versus America. Hypersonic technology is inherently range limited. That's why America was the last of the three to take it seriously as a strategic asset. Right now the Pentagon is merely mirroring Beijing and Moscow. By investing LARGE in hyper-sonic warheads, both nations are telling the world that they don't accept M.A.D. doctrine at all. Hypersonics DEMAND first use doctrine. As a second strike weapon one wonders if they can work at all.

Excellent report. 👍

Russia's greatest military advantage is that most of their territory is nearly impossible for humans to inhabit year-round without the assistance of modern technology. Basically, imagine if we could drive trucks to the Moon to mine it for resources, then drive home again before we freeze to death, instead of needing outrageously expensive rockets for that purpose; that is what Russia can do with Siberia.
