Just think how long we've been pitched the "fear the Russians" line...it's been a constant "threat" since at least the Russian Revolution, on through the 20's and 30's, and into the post-WWII era with the Cold War. It was only when Saddam starting popping up in the news that the narrative shifted from Russia to the Islamic Middle East, where we've now seen that narrative forced down our throats since the 90's, and on into 2021. Meanwhile, China has rarely been mentioned outside of conservative circles regarding the threat they pose to the US and everyone else in the world. Russia could and should be our greatest ally. Remember when Japan became an imperialistic nation that wanted to invade nearby countries in the early 20th century? Russia was the response then, and could very well serve as the first line of defense against an imperialistic Asian nation today.
