You are simply naive.
Co-operation between China-US and US-Russia is far far better than you make it out to be. I will not go there.
It isn't about economy perse, it about a combination of everything - economy, military, political influence, shared interests & visions etc.
Leave it. You wont get it.
My contention is simple. No body can make or break you in the context US is not propping us. The future of your country is in your own hands. When you develop your country you will see people lining up to make friends with you.
And if you think we are somehow more manageable, well what can I say ? Nothing. Be comfortable in your own thinking. We know how to play ball with the US and we have indeed played with them.
