Donald Trump’s humiliation in Helsinki

slick said:
Henry Kissinger suggested to President Donald Trump that the United States should work with Russia to contain a rising China.

The former secretary of state—who famously engineered the tactic of establishing diplomatic relations with China in order to isolate the Soviet Union—pitched almost the inverse of that idea to Trump during a series of private meetings during the presidential transition, five people familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast. The potential strategy would use closer relations with Russia, along with other countries in the region, to box in China’s growing power and influence.

“Russia and China are cozying up to each other and it’s a lethal combination if they’re together,”

FBI Director Christopher Wray called China “the broadest, most challenging, most significant threat we face as a country,” and Michael Collins, deputy assistant director of the CIA’s East Asia mission, said that China is waging a “cold war” against the United States.

“It is clear the Trump administration views the rise of China—from issues of trade, its continued quest to dominate Asia and displace U.S. power to building a military that can challenge Washington’s most advanced weaponry—as its number one national security challenge,” said Harry Kazianis, director of defense studies at the Center for the National Interest. “I am not shocked that they would consider Russia a potential partner in containing China’s rise.”

Listening to the wisdom of the keenest foreign policy mind in recent history is always a good idea

We already lost Russia, through idiocy.

It is Team China/Russia/Iran now.

Perhaps they add India.

Oh, I must have been replying to imaginery posts about Skripal in this thread.

Either that or you've got a selective aversion.

You are making even less sense than usual.

Not surprising though.

That's okay though, seeing how he's not being allowed to skip around the Ukraine invasion issue either.

US in Syria would be next, if it hadn't already been tanked.

And one can't really expect anyone to engage in "whataboutism" if one doesn't concede them the subject of "what about.............." (enter issue of choice but of no relation).
