Not quite. My understanding of WW1 is that the defense treaties were like multiple nets that all made enemies of each other come wartime. Today it seems that NATO is one big net and Russia is more or less an isolated node with no seriously powerful country to call to for help.
- im3w1l 4y agoWouldn't surprise me if Russia had a secret treaty with China.
- refurb 4y agoThere was an interesting video posted on social media of a military fighter plane that crash in China. Two people ejected and some farmer took video of the two of them. One was Chinese and told him to stop filming, the other Russian.

Seems unlikely Russia would win and in the worst case - if nukes start flying - all the better to not be involved.
