George W. Bush suggests US could create 'an alliance of convenience' with China against Russia
Daily Mail ^ | 3/2/2022 | Nikki Schwab

"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.

The question to be asked is not what China can do to control Russia but, since China gave Russia a smokescreen to build up during the 2022 Olympics, the pertinent question is, what reciprocal smokescreen is Russia providing for China’s sneakiness right now, and how to interdict that?

Who told them that the Chinese are fools” in fact they do not need our alliance in any degree, they know how they steal technology from us without the need for any treaty

Putting the US military under China’s command? They might do a better job than being under command of the current crop of US Army general officers.

Yes, it's an ideal solution, every member of the military will be issued a smartphone, and a Social Credit Score, and every problem in the American Military will be solved within a week.

Yeah, you’re right. I was just overreacting to the current lack of seriousness among US flag officers. They wouldn’t know an actual military mission if it fell on them from a great height.

You may scoff, but a bronze star and a Purple Heart at The Battle of the Arlington Krispy Kreme is nothing to sneeze at.

Vindman did his assault force commander Genital Milley-Vanilli proud that day.

Oh, sure, why not, if we could trust the Chinese any more than I could throw an elephant?
We’ve been bamboozled into giving our manufacturing, our pharmaceuticals, and just about everything to them. They’ve been allowed to infest our real estate and universities, the latter giving them all our technology. China is a sleeping giant, just waiting us out. Time is on their side. And corporate greed and consumer addiction to spend, spend, spend, has enabled them. And George W. Bush is a new world order IDIOT.

I honestly thought that no one could even come close to being as out of touch with reality as Slow Joe Biden. Apparently, I was wrong.

What a fool

Just like Bush destroyed Iraq - and handed it over to Iran

He wants to hobble Russia - and hand it over to China.
