Not really. The details matter much more, in fact the overall policy in the US in recent years has been almost primarily shaped by the sum of those details. Look at EU/US vs Russia, overall nobody had any significant issues in maintaining peaceful and mutually beneficial economic ties with it until it started behaving in an ultra-imperialist and unpredictable manner.
Also US has time on its side. Long-term there is no need to be over aggressive towards China, US is in a much better position demographically.

Well... define control. I don't see how is that true unless we use an extremely lose definition of the word.

- qwytw 2y agoSo you're saying that Russia has some inherent, indisputable & permanent claim over all theory territory of every single country that surrounds it? And attempt by the people living in those regions to do anything about that is an unprovoked and direct attack on Russia... (just like Germany in the 30s)
