Russia/China – containment?

September 9, 2014 8:09 am

Any effort to contain Russian and China should accept that they will insist on their own regional interests and that none of us has anything to gain by recreating the Cold War.

In response to the suggestion that the West might consider a policy of restraint vis-a-vis Ukraine, Syria and Iraq, a reader asked if I was advocating just letting them “fight it out,” an approach that taken to an extreme would result in complete US isolationism. Would this approach extend to China as well, he asked.  This deserves a considered response.http://www.transconflict.com/2014/09/russiachina-containment-099/
