In this case we are like Victorian England. We CANNOT allow an alliance to form among them, anymore than the British would allow Imperial Germany, Czarist Russia, Republican France and Italy to join up.
Our foreign policy should be bent on keeping them apart at least as part of our “Realpolitik” strategy, and in the case of their governments, pressing their march toward democratic/capitalism.
And Trump is doing just that.
1. Germany and Nat. Gas from Russia - U.S LNG export facilities will be up and running within Two years and more facilities will be coming on line.
2. Iran / China Oil - Trump is killing Iran with Economic sanctions, that is why Iran threatens to close the Gulf. What value does the Chines Money have - especially after the recent devaluations. Where can Iran spend this money - what, buy Chinese shitty steel, or nuclear military gear that may or may not work?
3. India - where will the India call centers go if not the U.S. - How many Russians need India software designers?
Just some thoughts
