@DTG, how many of Russian nuclear missiles functional? Last time I checked Russia decommissioned a majority of its missiles, unlike the US. Also, China and Russia do not get along, they have more negative history than Russia and US.

 

 Russia and China hold joint military exercises year after year. They tend to agree on every issue brought forth to the UN. They openly communicate with eachother on friendly terms, in fact China is buying it's first aircraft carrier from Russia at a "friendly" price.

Russia decomissioned several tens of thousands of nukes following the end of the cold war but still retains a larger nuclear stockpile than the US.

I think most of the Russia and China UN agreements aren't based on idealist agreement, but on anti-US ideals.  Yes, attitudes between China and Russia are improving all the time, but they are nowhere near most western countries.

I have looked and yes Russia does have more missles then the US, but they both have roughly 10 times more than either of them need.
