Key to Trump’s Strategy on NATO, Ukraine — Communist China, Not Russia, Is the Real Threat to America

The only threat Moscow now poses would be if it made itself a resources supplier to China and abdicated Russia’s 800 years standing as an independent state dominant in its part of Eurasia.

The emphasis President Trump is placing on North Atlantic Treaty members pulling their own weight in the alliance and in bringing the Ukraine war to an early end with a reasonable compromise that does not completely humiliate Russia, but does establish Ukraine firmly as a legitimate sovereign state with adequate security guarantees in slightly diminished borders is all part of a larger plan. 

Russia is no longer a threat to America or to the West. The only threat it poses would be if it made itself a resources supplier to Communist China and abdicated Russia’s 800 years standing as an independent state dominant in its part of Eurasia and took on a new role of allowing surplus Chinese population to extract resources from Siberia for a royalty paid to the Kremlin.
