Re: China and Russia (4.00 / 6)

Re: China and Russia (4.00 / 3)

Yes. Except that it has to be done stealthily, while pretending that those you are containing really are your best friends. It makes for pretty schizophrenic diplomacy - and punditry.

Re: China and Russia (none / 1)

I'd like to think that's what is going on, but I'm not so sure. Sarko's speech to the foreign service was sort of worrying in this regard - a bit over the top for my taste. Of course, maybe that's part of the game.
