@nemo, you are right. I stand corrected.
Prior to Nixon's visit to China, Russia's role in the Berlin Blockade, Cuban Missile Crisis and anti-colonial movements in Africa, and China's role in the Korean and Vietnam Wars did not endear both to the US.

A good interview between GT and German MPDagelen Yup the kneejerk support of Sanction against Russia will backfired badly ended up German prosperity Excerpt
GT: As the Ukraine crisis drags on, German citizens have to brace themselves for dramatically rising costs of gas. How do you see the fact that the interests of ordinary people are jeopardized by those behind the Ukraine crisis?
Dagdelen: The economic war with Russia is jeopardizing Germany's entire prosperity model. The Western sanctions have not ended the war. Instead, they are acting like a boomerang. They are hitting us, the people and industry in Germany. After all, Russia's revenue from energy exports, despite falling sales and volumes, is higher than a year ago, thanks to the sanctions having driven up the prices. So, the price of these nonsensical sanctions is being paid by the general public who are suffering high inflation and exploding energy and food costs, while the oil corporations and arms companies are making profits.
Should gas deliveries from Russia cease, we will face a disaster in Germany such as we have not known since the global economic crisis during the Weimar Republic.
It has been calculated that in the event of stopping Russian gas deliveries, Germany's economic output would plummet by more than 12 percent in the subsequent six months. And more than 5.6 million jobs would be at risk. So, the German government must immediately end the suicidal economic war for the good of the people of Germany.

That’s also what guys in jail or on submarines say
A contrarian view is that when China reached 1000 nuke warheads, she will have the capability of serious nuclear deterrence capability via MAD. So it will be to China's advantage to find an occasion to announce it to make sure her adversaries understand the consequence of even conventional aggression against China.
Sensei Biden has mastered the Art of War. He is so befuddled even he doesn't know what his next move will be, let alone his adversaries. His strikes will be deadly, especially to himself..
There is a theory that the Saudis opening their airspace for Israeli civilian carriers could be a prelude to Israeli jets using Saudi airspace to strike Iran. Israel can’t fly jets over Iraq since their relations is iffy but they could from the Saudis with the support of US refuelers. Not so long ago, they had an drill with US refuelers to simulate bombing Iran.
And make the oil and gas prices go 10-20 USD per gallon?
Man, I am looking intently at the Homefront game trailer from now on, especially the withdrawal of US forces from the Pacific segment (and minus the annexation part, ofc).
