I think it is senseless to call Russia or China an enemy, neither West or USA, because it is time for cooperation in the forld - especiall economic, and those bloody wars and mass occupations are ebhind. Even USA, invadin 2 countries sees bunch of press from the world.
It's not just economics today, there's still bloody rebellions, mass occupations, genocide (both ethnic and cultural - ethnic is done as discreetly as possible and not so common nowadays, cultural is through assimilation and imposing of foreign education/religion/media), and politically engineered division of Turkic and Mongolic people.
Nay, individually we can be friends with our neighbours. But we would be fools if we consider foreigners political friends. Open your eyes, meet the people in occupied lands, and you'll see the effect our enemies have done. It's subtle colonisation and it's how they work. Same tactics since the colonial era.
All steppe empires whether Mongol or Ottoman had completely different policies to the West or East civilisations. We did not assimilate, we did not try to wipe out their culture, their language, or even pride. Why? Because we are barbarians and instead treated them as human beings instead of being civilised and wiping them out of history.
Unfortunately, we have to be aware of this, even if we end up seeing many neighbours as political enemies. The West or East have proven themselves thus far unfit to rule the world. If you want civilisation to prevail and our cultures wiped out then sure, be their political friends. But I for one will not allow this.
Genocide is real and it's already evident amongst our people no matter how subtle. You can't boil a frog alive by throwing it in boiling water. You boil a frog alive by slowing turning up the heat.
I'm from mixed slavic blood myself and if this situation is reversed and my slavic ancestors are under genocide, then I would side with them. But this is not the case, my Altaic side is endangered of extinction.
