“make them allies”
Per KGB defectors, the Soviet-Sino split was staged. Anatoly Golitsyn says the purpose was to run a scissors strategy. For example, Russia would side with India, China with Pakistan, thus both are kept from the USA and managed by them both.
Even if you don’t want to believe the defectors, it’s plainly stupid to think that communist countries (and Russia is still a communist country at heart, no different than China, even with the fake capitalism. Putin has bragged that he has never burned his communist party membership card) would ever be Pro-American in any way or capable of being anything other than our enemies.
“...and Russia is still a communist country at heart”
Obviously you know NOTHING about present-day Russia, so I’m done wasting my time with you.
Have a nice day.
