Longer term China could be more of a concern than Russia. Russia is in decline. Its economy is boosted a bit by oil, but other parts of it aren't doing nearly so well, and its population is projected to practically fall off a cliff. China has a lot more people, and is still growing, economically and in terms of population. OTOH a counter argument could be made. Russia has more nukes, and more tanks now. Also China's growth might cause it to moderate and integrate, while Russia problems might cause it to be less stable, less moderate, and less integrated. It wants to sell its oil, but selling commodities doesn't require the same type of integration with the world economy that more extensive manufacturing and trade does.
