Why would the rest of the world need to back Russia?
Also this would absolutely never happen as entertaining as it would be to watch Russia flounder for answers after that.
I wouldn't call it "need to back" Russia, but preventing China from getting stronger and taking territory by force is something we don't want them to make a habit of. And arming Russia against China would have a similar effect as arming Ukraine against China: super cheap for the West and the main adversary gets weakened.
Russia had to let go of Ukraine first, though.
