Since the end of World War II, the United States has excelled at building and maintaining stable security relationships, with NATO being the prime example.
In contrast, America’s adversaries have been largely unable to forge enduring and effective great power partnerships — the turbulent relationship between the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China during the Cold War (which sometimes descended into armed conflict) serves as a powerful reminder that a shared ideology can often divide more than unite.
Currently, a unity of purpose between the autocratic powers has created the closest relationship in decades. China and Russia are forging a partnership increasingly reminiscent of a great power alliance.
The war in Ukraine has brought out a core strategic realignment in the global power distribution that is fast redefining the world order: the Sino-Russian partnership that many thought only a few years back would not be possible is a new geopolitical reality.
