He’s right about the Chinese, which is why we need to destroy them if we can. Russia is not our friend either. If we can significantly harm the Chinese, Russian, and Iranian regimes, the world will be a MUCH safer place.

Yup. But we can't eliminate every threat at once.

We must triangulate when feasible, e.g. convince Russia that it's in its best interest to support the Iranian people (NOT the ayatollahs, who are a threat to regional stability and should be overthrown).
