“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.

It happened therefore we failed to prevent it.

You are dreaming and high on hopium. We are losing allies because dim-witted, creepy neocons and stupid “conservatives” carry the water for the far left. We only have nominal allies that need to be paid big $ now because nobody wants to follow globohomo freaks.
