The Dangerous China-Russia Alliance Threatens US Power and Allies.

Former US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin humiliated Chinese President Xi Jinping by stationing nuclear weapons in Belarus, despite both countries agreeing not to deploy nuclear weapons beyond their national territories. China has long claimed neutrality in the war in Ukraine, but has a "no-limits" partnership with Russia. Putin's decision reportedly came in response to the UK providing Ukraine with armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium.
