| What if America and China do not let Russia join? | |
| "If the enemy had been Russia instead of communism, we could | |
| have avoided the interventions against non-Western countries | |
| such as Vietnam during the Cold War as well�" | |
| And instead, we could have done some interventions against | |
| Western countries, one in particular: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_and_the_Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_conflict | |
| [quote]On May 17, 1948, three days after Israel declared | |
| independence, the Soviet Union legally recognized it de jure, | |
| becoming the first country to grant de jure recognition to the | |
| Jewish state.[5][6] In addition to the diplomatic support, arms | |
| from Czechoslovakia, part of the Soviet bloc, were crucial to | |
| Israel in the 1948 Arab�Israeli War.[/quote] | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Russia_relations#After_end_of_Sovi… | |
| [quote]Relations between Israel and Russia were improved by | |
| Israeli opposition to the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia,[18] | |
| ... | |
| Vladimir Zhirinovsky visiting as part of a government delegation | |
| said that he was concerned particularly about the economic | |
| situation for the more than one million Russians living in | |
| Israel, and that "Russia will never allow any kind of violence | |
| against Israel".[21][22] | |
| ... | |
| In 2011, Putin said: "Israel is, in fact, a special state to us. | |
| It is practically a Russian-speaking country. Israel is one of | |
| the few foreign countries that can be called Russian-speaking. | |
| It's apparent that more than half of the population speaks | |
| Russian".[28] Putin additionally claimed that Israel could be | |
| considered part of the Russian cultural world, and contended | |
| that "songs which are considered to be national Israeli songs in | |
| Israel are in fact Russian national songs". He further stated | |
| that he regarded Russian-speaking Israeli citizens as his | |
| compatriots and part of the 'Russian world'.[29] | |
| In April 2014, Israel took a neutral stance on the Russian | |
| annexation of Crimea at the United Nations, angering U.S. State | |
| Department and White House officials.[30] During Operation | |
| Protective Edge in 2014, Putin stated that "I support Israel's | |
| battle that is intended to keep its citizens protected".[31] | |
| ... | |
| Relations between Israel and Russia further improved after the | |
| Russian military intervention in Syria in September 2015. From | |
| then until July 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu | |
| and Putin met a total of 9 times.[33] In October 2015, Israel | |
| and Russia held meetings to coordinate over Syria, and avoid | |
| accidentally clashing or scrambling each other's communications | |
| while operating over the country.[34][35] | |
| In March 2016, Putin said the relations with Israel were special | |
| and based "on friendship, mutual understanding and the long | |
| common history". Putin stated: "Russia and Israel have developed | |
| a special relationship. 1.5 million Israeli citizens come from | |
| the former Soviet Union, they speak the Russian language, are | |
| the bearers of Russian culture, Russian mentality. They maintain | |
| relations with their relatives and friends in Russia, and this | |
| make the interstate relations very special".[36] In a meeting | |
| with Netanyahu in June 2016, Putin described Israel and Russia | |
| as "unconditional allies" in "efforts to counter international | |
| terrorism".[37] | |
| Prior to and immediately after the 2016 United States | |
| presidential election, Israel began lobbying the United States | |
| to strike a deal with Russia over restricting the Iranian | |
| military presence in Syria in exchange for removing sanctions | |
| over Russian military action in Ukraine.[38] Donald Trump was | |
| reportedly a favorite candidate for both Russia and Israel, as | |
| Trump is widely seen, by both, as a strong supporter for Israel | |
| yet friendly to Russia.[39] Both Israel and Russia are still | |
| being accused for meddling in 2016 U.S. Election on helping | |
| Trump to power, with Vladimir Putin is found to have exclusive | |
| influence on Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump's political | |
| decisions in Israel and the United States.[40][/quote] | |
| Israel is a clear enemy of NATO. Indeed, every NATO country | |
| should have invaded Israel after the USS Liberty incident. | |

| Brzezinski died in 2017. | |
| Sullivan is not too far removed from Brzenzinski's position, | |
| however: | |
| [quote]This led to a discussion about China, which Sullivan said | |
| would have to be part of any strategy to increase pressure on | |
| North Korea. �I believe in the possibility that the U.S. and | |
| China can cooperate on North Korea,� Sullivan said. �I don�t | |
| think we�re there yet. This has to be one of the first and most | |
| important pieces of business in the first summit between the | |
| next president and [Chinese leader] Xi Jinping." More generally, | |
| said Sullivan, the U.S. and China have the werewithal, with | |
| responsible stewardship, to build a constructive relationship | |
| beyond the day-to-day tensions. Sullivan said China has "not | |
| fully lived up to its responsibilities as a world power," but | |
| added that he remains optimistic that the U.S.-China | |
| relationship would improve. �A strong, thriving China that is | |
| playing by the rules is very much in the interests of the | |
| U.S.�[/quote] | |
| [quote]Nowhere is that more apparent than in the Middle East, | |
| which in recent years has endured collapsing state structures | |
| and the rise of jihadist groups, most notably the Islamic State. | |
| Some Republican leaders have blamed the Obama Administration for | |
| abandoning the region; some Democrats have suggested the U.S. is | |
| still too inclined to intervene; the 2011 intervention in Libya | |
| and Washington�s inability to stop the strife in Syria have come | |
| in for criticism by both sides. On the Asia Society stage, | |
| Sullivan argued for the imposition of safe zones in Syria, | |
| provided and protected by the U.S., to safeguard refugees and | |
| help in the delivery of humanitarian aid. He also said that for | |
| all their differences, there was no solution that didn�t involve | |
| the U.S. and Russia working together. As for Trump�s policy | |
| prescriptions for the Middle East, Sullivan said these were | |
| particularly hard to decipher, beyond his much-discussed | |
| proposal to ban Muslim immigration. Trump has argued against | |
| U.S. intervention, then called for a U.S. deployment of 30,000 | |
| soldiers to fight ISIS; he has suggested that Syria and ISIS | |
| �fight it out�, but also that we should �let Russia fight ISIS�; | |
| he has said he would tear up the nuclear deal with Iran, and | |
| then that he would keep it in place but �police� it more | |
| effectively. | |
| Sullivan checked off what he called �three deeply interconnected | |
| trends� in the Middle East: The collapse of state structures, a | |
| virulent form of Islamic fundamentalism, and the geopolitical | |
| struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia. �The U.S. must grapple | |
| with all three crises at the same time; solving the third, | |
| however, can help with the first two � Any outcome must involve | |
| a modus vivendi between Saudi Arabia and Iran�.[/quote] | |
