China backs Russia over US missile plans in Europe - Asia-Pacific

China and Russia against the US on strategic policy. That is starting to look like a new Warsaw Pact vs NATO conflict. I really hope we reconsider our position, unless we like the idea of starting at best a new cold war, and at worst world war three. Is ballistic missile defense really worth it?It certainly looks like the US and Western Europe are trying to surround northern and central Asia with weapons systems. If we really want this, why not make them partners and ask them to build the parts of the system in their areas with our help. Why are we always pitching war instead of cooperation? I can't wait until this administration changes. I just hope the rest of the world can stay cool until then.
