Patrick:
Which is why it would make perfect sense for two of them to piss on the one. It'd cripple the U.S. while the other two would still have markets with each other.

Are you planning on leaving soon? I really hope this doesn't turn lamer.

If you think Russia is a big enough market to support China on its own in the absence of American consumption you're out of your mind. Neither China nor Russia could 'piss on' the US even if they wanted to. Russia's economy is almost wholly (some ridiculous amount like 70% at this point) dependent on oil exports, which America is responsible for the majority of, and the Russian populace isn't financially solvent enough to provide a consumer base for Chinese products like the US can. It won't happen in the current market, and do you really think China gives that much of a shit about the Balkans anyway?

Patrick, come to Sydney, we can hang out. For serious.

This doesn't look good, considering that they're being backed by Russia and China, two longstanding opponents to U.S. policy. God knows what kind of cold war (or what else) this could start.

I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point. It can signal big problems, but it can also just be an act of protest to show how serious the country is about the issue. The Turks recalled Ambassador Sensoy after the whole "we're going to proclaim the mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians during World War I to be a genocide at the worst possible time" bill was almost brought before Congress.
