Allying with Red China did not help us defeat the USSR.
//////////////
true. the reapproachment with china was merely a pressure point.
And it was us who actually (unfortunately) saved the USSR because having them fall to the Nazis would have put that enemy on our back doorstep.
True. It is something I’ve heard putin mention from time to time: that while the USA and russia are currently adversaries—in two great wars of the 20th century—the USA and russia were allies. That’s why Putin doesn’t currently want or need a military alliance with China. He also understands that in the west he’s faced with poodles in western europe.— which given the wokeness of infecting the academies—is a status the USA is on the way to.
If you look at your sentence above you’ll know the choice of siding with the USSR was one of choosing between the lesser to two weavels.
Similarly, rebalancing relations again —as Kissenger did-but this time in favor of Russia—would not help us in a war against china. Rather it would make the Chinese more afraid to commit themselves to war—in places like taiwan—knowing that their principal ally —Russia —would not provide them with any backing at all.
