"The former Republican president also floated that while Russia and China seem to be operating in tandem, there might be an opening for the United States to form 'an alliance of convenience' with the Asian nation. 'I don't think they want to be too cozy with Putin at this moment,' Bush surmised. 
'So this might be an opportunity to conduct some diplomacy that [creates] an alliance of convenience,' he said. 'The president's foreign policy team has an opportunity to deal with China in a way that will surprise the country.' 
Bush said that Putin 'loves the idea' of isolating China against the United States. 
'The idea of China needing Putin's energy gives Putin a chance to say to the world: " The United States is no longer as significant as it used to be. It's now Russia and China." And that's just not going to hold given his actions in Ukraine,' Bush said.

    Too late now, Russia and China are buds. Let’s just not get entangled with China, okay, genius?

    Too late, GW. Russia and China have formed a partnership. They called themselves, “The New World Order”. Maybe they didn’t like Klaus Schwab’s proposals.

    The Nixon strategy of divide and conquer during the Cold War.
Not sure we have the same dynamic this time around. And that worked fine for awhile...but now China is the big problem.

    It is as if the PRC crackdown on Hong Kong residents’ freedoms didn’t occur. Labor camps full of Christians and Muslim Uighers. Hiding the Covid outbreak. Bribing the Usurper-President and his addled son. The USS Clueless W set sail without any charts.
