Projection!
Today the German "Der Spiegel" published a rather spiteful article, trying to distort the relations between Russia and China, calling them a "marriage of convenience".
Let us accept this formulation. Better a marriage of convenience than a real rape, which is what relations between Germany and the US are. And at the same time Germany, which is the victim, not only does not resist, but in every way protects and covers up for the rapist. Stockholm syndrome!
