<<But what the bombing is causing is to get Russians and Chinese to get closer TOGETHER to oppose the US bully...I think this is a matter of grave concern and you seem to take the typical hypocritical and arrogant US govt view.>>
The realignment has already happened, may have been inevitable. The situation will be no different than the Sino-Russian relations of the 50's, as a matter of fact it will no doubt be even less worrisome considering the miserable state of Russia. China has never acted without a Russian pat on the head, and even with the express backing of the USSR they backed down quite quickly in the Taiwan Straits. Please dont bring up Korea, those were Russian pilots in Russian MiGs over the Yellow River, and Russian intelligence interrogating downed US pilots. The fact is that the West does not need China or Russia, but the same can not be said for them. They need the West more than we need them. As long as they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, they wont rock the boat, as is evidenced by Russia and China's rather meek protests. If you believe that either nation would risk mutual nuclear destruction so whimsically, I overestimated your intelligence.
