Russia declares adversary on the US?!?

Redlion: NATO, U.S. to be openly identified as threats/adversaries in new Russian military doctrine to be published next month, FT reports, citing people familiar.
Current doctrine lists only the following as as “external military dangers”: NATO expansion, foreign troop deployments in neighbouring states, destabilization in certain countries and deployment of missile defence systems, FT says
Russian govt believes it must tie security interests to China because Euro-Atlantic framework is too broken, FT reports citing Russian officials and security analysts
Moscow seeks to build Shanghai Co-operation Organization, founded by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tadjikistan in 1996, as security alliance
Putin speech last month initially contained reference to “Helsinki II”, idea that Russia, U.S., Europe should try to work out new framework for security relations: FT

That's is?  This 2 trillion dollar economy entering a horror of a recession with 11% inflation is going to Adversary with the USA?  I mean, Russians will simply use this as an excuse to drink more vodka. I don't see what the advantage is.

And Russia is going to tie their security interests to China?  What does that mean, a joint declaration of Adversary on Mongolia?  I have nothing against the Chinese, they are OK, I married one.  But the Chinese government should think twice about running around with Putin and going Adversary all over the place.
