More like it's your backyard, deal with it.
Disagree slightly.
We're mostly trying to prevent Russia and China from becoming BFFs
I don't believe that's likely to happen due to the historical animosity of one to the other. Centuries of it.
But that's what dimocrap scum morons thought about Russia and Germany in 1939. Then Molotov and Ribbentrop signed a Pact that started WW2.
Most people don't realize it (because they are ******* Stupid) but Russia was Hitler's Ally for the first two years of WW2. The gasoline flowing through the Panzers invading France was from Russian oil.
Then, Hitler lost his mind and invaded Russia. Russia wasn't a threat to anything, they're too stupid. But Germany was. If they had stayed Russia's Butt Buddy, there would have been no stoping them. And Japan., from conquering the world. Germany's Wehrmacht, Japan and Italy's Navy, Germany's Luftwaffe, Russian Oil and Food production and mineral resourses.........
We wouldn't have had a chance in Hell.
I believe OMB is more interested in keeping Russia and China from getting too close. Because he has an IQ. Somthing dimocrap FILTH have never, and will never have.
OTOH, wearing Russia down is always a good idea. Russia has been the world's worst problem since 1917. Over 100 years and they have been at the root cause of every man made catastrophe........ WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Africa, Cuba, South America........ ALL of them.
