Divide
and conquer not working out for US elites

Something
smelled rotten back in the 70s when Nixon and Kissinger started pushing Most Favored Nation (MFN) status for China, claiming,
absurdly, that China was a potential market for US goods, even though China
couldn't afford them at the time. It was an obvious lie and naturally, smart
people knew there had to be an ulterior motive. As time went on and after the
MFN was ratified by Congress, it became fairly clear that the whole idea was to
make China rich while keeping Russia poor, thus driving a wedge between Russia
and China using an economic carrot for China and a military stick against
Russia. If this long-shot strategy had worked, China would be kowtowing to its
no. 1 trade partner by now while moving further and further away from Russia.
Shortly after the introduction of MFN status for China, Neocons had devised
their puzzling strategy of "encircling" Russia as if Russia were the most
formidable threat on the horizon – yet they totally ignored the much bigger
Chinese threat. So why not encircle China as well? One can only surmise that
what would later be dubbed the Wolfowitz doctrine (encirclement of Russia) was
already part of a rigid ideology with a life of its own. The elites no needed no
justification for Russophobic policies, which had become their own justification
and are now adopted unquestioningly by both US political parties and by the
puppets in the EU.
