"...it’s [equally] unlikely that the Sino-Russo Entente will rupture over Central Asia..."

Or, as the Chief Administrator of the Nobel Prize Winning Administration once so eloquently and cleverly said (Such masterful wit!): 'When the biggest and best tool in your toolbox is a hammer, and it's bigger and better than anyone else's, every problem looks like nail.' (or something like that)
That was when the Russian economy, apparently, had been reduced to 'tadders', (or somewhere around about then) if you remember; Russia was going to be defeated for the want of Parmesan cheese. Remember?
