So you just disregarded the points I made? Ok. Well just to quickly compare. History of a country, even as uninformed as the one you presented, has no bearing on the argument here. China is now consistenly outpacing essentially rest of the world for idk 30 years? It overtook US as largest economy, and is growing far faster. Theyve lifted hundreds of millions out of extreme poverty, without precedent. But again this is irrelevant to their position on iran.

As for russia, ukraine is receiving aid yes? And if we are to compare population sizes for some unexplained reason ok for the sake of it lets do that. Us did not manage to beat afghans taliban, these used to be literally armed goat herders, unlike trained ukrainian soldiers, western mercenaries and massive aid of the west.

Now to actually get to the topic there are bilateral talks and russia holds significant territory, those are just observations. No need to try to predict based on some emotional dogma. But if things are to continue as they are now, significant territory remains ceded.
