The alliance has expanded since 2019 with joint exercises and technology sharing, escalating into a potential two-front crisis for America, including coordinated military actions with Iran and North Korea.
The China-Russia alliance has grown by leaps and bounds since Trump last met with Putin in 2019 on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan. China gave Russia the greenlight to try to take over all of Ukraine in 2022. China and Russia engage in high-stakes military exercises and tech deals.
