    There was no illusion that, following WWII, Russia and China would be buddies with the US.

    China was an American ally right up to 1949. Americans were pretty fond of China before and during WWII.

    The Lincoln Project thinks the most important thing for the future they want is to prevent Trump from being President again. I agree.

    I actually have a lot of respect for conservatives who remain loyal to America in the face of Trump’s profound disloyalty to America and our values. Those kind of people are our opponents, but not our enemies. It is the GOP’s neofascist movement that are the enemies of all loyal Americans, conservative or progressive.

      Only some of China though. The US and the Republic of China are still pretty close. The US and the People’s Republic of China on the other hand… Part of the US’s demands for Japanese capitulation were that Japanese forces could not surrender to Mao’s army, but only Chiang Kai-shek.
