"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.

I think it should be the opposite.
I am so sick of China...
(I spent 3 hours on Amazon today trying to find an 8 inch chef knife that WASN’T made in China. I gave up.)
Why not? FDR and Churchill did the same with Stalin. What kind of alliance, though, is the question. Taiwan is too steep a price to pay. Militarily, two nuclear powers do not dare duke it out. Three is even worse. So what can the US offer China? If Putin is too engrossed with his misadventure in Ukraine, Xi might just take advantage and grab Siberia. But then the question is, what atrocities will he commit against the Siberians, who are probably just as compelling a people as the Ukrainians, maybe more so. So for all practical purposes, there’s no basis for an alliance with China.
What Stalin took at the end of the war was bad enough. Repeating the same mistake again would be unforgivable.
So I’ll second your assessment of Shrub’s evil-ness.

Artificial sweeteners were safe
WMDs were in Iraq and

Indeed. That idiot used 9/11 as an excuse to strengthen the Patriot Act AND the FISA/FISC later used to attempt to depose a sitting President. He is responsible for DHS and TSA - two of the worst freedom stealing entities this country has. It will take half a century to rid this country of the people and mechanisms he put in place.
Bless his little globalist heart. Just remember he got an envelope at Bush senior’s funeral.
daily mail is always good for a laugh.
finest fake news around.

George, please take your pea brain and go back to telling everyone that “most of our imports now come from overseas”
