As China and Russia move toward an entente in their relationship due to Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s folly in Ukraine, the United States must consider its next steps to counter or adapt to the Sino-Russian relationship.
Those actions require the proper policy guidance from White House and Pentagon national security strategy and defense strategy policy documents. There is little hope that the Biden administration will provide the policy guidance necessary to reflect the demands of the two-front war the United States now faces.
The growing relationship between China and Russia is alarming for U.S. strategic interests. It is also a testament to Putin’s strategic malpractice, as the relationship provides far more potential benefits to China than to Russia.
