Subject: Re: India, Russia and China
Somebody besides me go read Jedi’s post.

I read it. Not much of an observation there. Trump hasn't erased history. And levying a massive, punitive tariff against someone we wanted to be out ally in containing China and Russia was still a significant strategic blunder. Both things are true. Indian and China/Russia are not likely to ever be like the U.S. and England, but they're much closer today - and will be much closer going forward - than they were a few months ago. Much to China's delight.

You have frequently claimed that containing China is (or should be) our number one priority, to the near-exclusion of all others. Yet Trump has managed to do more to damage that effort than one would have thought possible, in so short a time.
