Many, including myself, have said that Trump’s alienation of allies risks undermining Western alliances and creating a void that someone else will inevitably fill.
And look who have just become friends. China and Russia are:
- Presenting a united front against protectionism and unilateralism;
- Undertaking joint military exercises;
- Increasing the use of their own currencies in their growing cross-country trade, rather than the US dollar.

It seems Trump’s trade war on China and sanctions on Russia (though I’m not opposed to the latter) have given Russia and China a common enemy.
How effectively can the rest of the world reign in the strategic ambitions, interference and unfair trade practices of two parties that are now cooperating, when our biggest ally is picking a fight with his own side?
