What is the Red Bear Doing Lately?

I just read a very interesting post over on Everything I Know Is Wrong. It’s about how Russia, in an effort to become relevant again is in the process of chumming it up with China. Add Russian’s often antagonistic spirit to China’s sheer numbers and we’ve got a scary hostile possibility that reminds some folks of:

And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number. -Revelation 9:15-16
