The thaw between China and India in Beijing grants Russia a major political victory, mainly delivered by the US’s fumbling and mismanagement. America needs to act fast and accurately to address the situation. In 1972, Nixon’s trip to China didn’t end the Vietnam War, but it offset the political debacle there and put a different […]
