2. Now would be a good time to remind China of Russia's action during the Chinese-Vietnamese War.

I lived outside of the USA back then and so no country stood up to Pol Pot and his murdering of his own people. But they also murdered Vietnamese living there. So Vietnam, very war tested last century, went to war with them. China did not want this and started a huge conflict with Vietnam. The daily paper said China was going to teach Vietnam "a painful lesson". But Russia helped arm Vietnam which prevailed and forced China to give up some strategic land.

Reminding China might be a good way to get back at Puty.
