It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I haven’t really heard any talk of agreements

Yeah there isn't anything official between China and Russia, but relations havent been better since the Sino-Soviet split, both have the same enemy and both complement eachother military capabilities excelllently. On the other hand i don't believe there is also any kind of secret pact signed, rather that both sides had preliminary talks and are ready to cooperate or maybe even ally on a short notice if needed. This would also fit into Chinese foreign politics, they really don't want to commit to anything like this unless there is need.
Also note how was US and their yappers reaction to the defensive alliance signed between Russia and DPRK recently.

“a short and victorious war”

Well nobody is going to say this exact phrase openly because it is thoroughly ridiculed in anglo literature, but this is what they think. If you look at the history of USA wars basically every war after WW2 was suppose to be this, in and out, 20 minute adventure, but nearly all of those except first Iraq turned out to be long and ultimately lost. Which of course is profitable for the ruling class so the US state and military got no real lesson from them and is continously trying to enter new ones, like the one in Ukraine (which was also supposed to be short and victorious, Russia was supposed to fold in few weeks top from the sanctions).
You can also see how US is systematically provoking and escalating situation in east Asia despite it might end up with the conflict against China, a nuclear power. Thing is, China have maybe 5% of US nuclear arsenal, and some fucking fools in Pentagon and WH might think USA will survive the exchange, their internet trolls certainly say this pretty openly.
