Think-tanks typically have a pro-money motive, not a pro-America motive. This isn't true in all cases, but this is the Republicans we're talking about here. Yikes.

trump in office has increased the odds of a US nuclear confrontation with China.

[OSR stands with Israel]

What's wrong with this , China is a threat and must be dealt with.

trump in office has increased the odds of a US nuclear confrontation with China.

Critics of US Cold War policy said that taking an aggressive stance against the Soviets would result in WW3 and taking an aggressive stance actually reduced the chances of War. The US Foreign policy from 1945-1974 and 1981-1991 proved that peace comes through strength .


After Vietnam the US took a much more relaxed stance against the commies for the rest of the 1970s and guess what happened , the commies did not return the favor and aggressively expanded their empire all around the world(in Afghanistan, in Latin America and in Africa). The US Foreign Policy from 1974-1981 proved that taking a relaxed stance does not lead to peace

First off, we had sane presidents during the times you speak. Not a narcissistic man-child that physically pushes allied leaders to one side, because he wants to be seen as the "leader of the pack," and get more vanity photo opportunity.

And second, the US and USSR came very, very close to destroying the world during the Cuban Missile Crises.
