This is rather interesting reading -- remember Russia and China have, depending on your perspective, a Marvel Hero (or Villain) Team-Up capability.
It's ironic that the more US politicians have pushed Russia the closer Russia has become to China. This is especially noteworthy relative to both China's new Petro Yuan and the beginnings of the Belt Road Initiative (BRI). BRI intends to reopen the ancient Silk Road land and sea trading routes, largely using green infrastructure.
Turkey has become the gateway into the Shia Crescent: Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Iran is one of the gateways into the Stan Region and Lower Asia.
Pressure will eventually be brought to bear on both Europe and India to enjoin the BRI project. This is largely why the USA is so antsy these days! US oligarchs and profiteers are very concerned, to the point of war or threats of war.
