Who in Euresia is looking for defense, and what from? Russia is the only one I can think of, and I would really hope they aid in defending themselves.
India and Brazil are interesting ones because their economies are really dependant on the US markets.
China and Russia don't surprize me at all, and neither does big Cuba, Venezuela. China and Russia make great Machieavellian allies, but at the sametime are really fearful and suspicious of each other. That alone will be an interesting marriage.
I'm guessing its mostly crap and the alliance is probably to create somewhat of a counter to NAFTA and EU economic effects. China and Russia aligned politically? I just don't see it. They didn't like each other when they were both communist.
