Very true. You can't have multilateralism and cooperation when no one else is even on your level. Its like cooperating on a software project where only one person knows anything about programming; its very one sided. We are simply seeing the effect of 12 Trillion in debt to the Chinese leading to huge growth for their economy. Russia is still 1/15th the GDP of the US and desperately needs reduced sanctions and for the price of oil to increase. That is why they were happy about Rex Tillerson being SOS.
