Mug... Great topic on this. I had to go search for the Article covering the China-Iran-Russia axis, and Gunfzikhas said it well on how Russian and Beijing are increasingly developing their ties Tehran, that will thwart Washington's foreign policies. Yes you are very right on the ties between. Something that is not discussed on Sunday talk shows or MSM. China has their Eastern and Western expansion plans in Central Asia States (CAS) and well as how Russian, China, Iran all have a Shanghai Monopoly group to counter any goals of expanding US security footholds in the Middle East, Central Asia and Asia.

Then you have to look at what all three or five or 18 countries have within the Shanghai Group, but will having economic stability in the CAS or the Middle East or Russian, will this prevent a proxy-style military confrontation, Iran or North Korea or between China and the US. Both China and Russia have different plans for a Multi spectrum campaigns.
