Russia, of course, is a European country. It does more trade with EU and more gas shipments than it does with China. Her latest weapons, with the exception of the su-35, will have priority deployment in Europe.  
Isn’t it obvious where the core of a country lies, in terms of its military deployment?

By that logic, the US’s military deployments make us a Middle Eastern country.
