Before Trump was elected Russia and China had little interest in linking up militarily... they were doing business with each other and that hasn't stopped.... Trump saw China as our biggest enemy economically and militarily.... keeping the two apart was his main goal... but the dems in the quest to get Putin started sanctioning the hell out of them... they were pushed in the way Joe doesn't want to push China.... but the problem is China doesn't need pushing... all it takes for them to threaten us is a trip here from the Taiwanese president for cryin out loud....
We have created a monster and appeasement only makes them more aggressive....
SOOOO.......FOS.
