That is weird considering that republicans are pushing to normalize relations with Russia and focus on waging war on China. Democrats are the ones insisting on demonizing Russia too. At least in rhetoric.

The reason i prefer democrats is precisely that, they're spreading too thin.

Let them do, they're bringing the two closer to each other, it's strategically nonsensical

I wouldn't say it's nonsensical, if Russia collapses then China would be left in a very bad spot. Out of the two, Russia is definitely the more vulnerable. Part of too is them trying to keep the EU in their orbit, no better way for them to do that then to foster and uphold Russophobia.

Alright that's true, but clearly the most successful strategy would be to abuse China's willingness to compromise and be their friends to torpedo Russia first and backstab them later

Joe Biden if you're reading this please proceed to forget about it
