The combined actions of Neo-conservatives and liberal democrats have failed miserably in world affairs. Traditional conservative approaches were largely forgotten and we did not create lasting beneficial diplomatic relations which allowed the former Sino-Soviet Alliance to reform in a new guise.
“we did not create lasting beneficial diplomatic relations which allowed the former Sino-Soviet Alliance to reform in a new guise.”
Nonsense. USA has every single ally that it had in 1989 and has added about 40 more.
We did that through strength. Nations from Poland to Japan don’t look to the USA because we will weakly appease the Russian and Chinese aggressors.
They look to us for leadership because we have always opposed communism everywhere.
The article is unserious. Without the least bit embarrassment, it criticizes China for being a cyber security state.
If we get into a shooting war with China you can kiss our aircraft carriers and much of our Navy goodbye. China has thousands of agents already embedded in the US and they could release chemical and biological weapons, along with taking down the electrical grid and sabotaging all kinds of critical infrastructure killing off many millions of Americans. Is saving Taiwan worth that? Neocon policy has accomplished nothing other than to cause the US to self destruct with unpayable debt. If Linda Graham wants war send his F3gg8T a$$ over there.
America has no allies just some countries we have to bribe to do what “we” want.
We are indeed in a “pre 1989 world.”
The main problem - WE are the (neo) Marxists now.
Russia and China had a falling out in the 1960s. That’s what Nixon and Kissinger sought to exploit with the opening to China. Russia and China are closer now than they were in the 1980s, but this time, China is very much the stronger of the two. China is also more powerful and more tied into the global economic system, and into our own economy. In Cold War days, we didn’t have to worry much about Russia or China as economic competitors or about Russia or China owning a large part of our debt and our land and being a major supplier of our consumer goods.
