So they should. Blinken might surprise me. However, Russia is well beneath the threat that China poses. The world knows this, American citizens know this and intelligence agencies know this.
Therefore, if we are going to have more shouting about Russia, while China does as they please (and holds an olympic games as a reward), America risks losing India, Japan, Australia and numerous others. You can't call out a lesser threat and get brownie points while the other gets a free pass. That would be very unReagan like and self destructive.
The way to deal with China isn't to allow them to save face, it isn't to walk on eggshells. it is to confront them loudly, publicly and directly. THAT is what Reagan would do, and why he was the best president in my lifetime. Calling out Russia today, would be like calling out Cuba during Reagans time. Yeah, they are a thorn in the side in the 80s, but they aren't what Russia was then.
"Russia is well beneath the threat that China poses." Moscow did 3 times already what red hans are only

China walked into Hong Kong, changed laws, arrested pro-West citizens and laughed at the West. Russia went into Crimea after a trumped up referendum.
In both cases, the West lost their reputation for being the defender of free citizens. In the case of Russia, Obama listened to bad intel who told him that arming Ukraine would upset Russia (well no shyte, isn't that the point?). Obama threw Russia out of the G8 as punishment.
In the case of China, it was so brazen and without consequences that it desperately weakened the UK and USA. What consequences have come from this? Any arguing that China should be thrown out of the WTO or UN? They are laughing loudly, once again violating their own agreement with England to allow HK to be independent and autonomous until 2047. What a steal for China. Great economic wealth and control over this wealth.
You tell me, which action made the West look weakest? Which action had the most consequences for the aggressor?
We are losing to China. We are weak and allowing soft, cuck corporate betrayers to control politicians and NOT confront the obvious danger. The worst threat to the West in Americas history since she achieved Independence.
