Richard Nixon split the U.S.S.R./China Pact and every President since has kept them apart until now. Trump has actually gotten them to overcome their distrust for each other.

Over 3,000 Chinese soldiers went on joint military training maneuvers with Russian troops. Russia is selling them the SU-35, their highest tech fighter plane, and the S-400 system, their best anti-aircraft missiles. Neither of these has ever been sold to outsiders with their full capacities.

For more than four decades we managed to keep hundreds of Russian and Chinese missiles aimed at each other. Thanks to President Donald Trump’s driving them into each other’s arms, his splitting with NATO, and creating tensions within the United Nations, we no longer lead the free world. Instead of leading we will probably stand alone in any conflict. No one wants to follow someone who isn’t trustworthy, abrogates treaties on a whim, and constantly criticizes the leaders and their countries. It will take another President and years of diplomacy to hopefully repair the damage. I hope the world order can be restored.

He was laughed at and not with by the entire United Nations. He accused China of interfering with our upcoming elections because of some ads they have taken out in the legitimate press. He said nothing about the ongoing Russian involvement in continuing to support Trump and his party.

Now I and others have to wonder what Putin has on him. All the sanctions on Russia were mandated by Congress and President Trump has yet to impose all of them. Trump talks tough about Russia, says Putin is a good guy, and doesn’t criticize his invasions of the Ukraine. Is Putin blackmailing Trump into splitting NATO? I really wonder.
