Russia and China were masterfully wedged by the Nixon Admin and Kissinger with the help of Pakistan, which was then led by Gen Yahya.
Now, history has brought the two Cold War Rivals closer.
This will create new Geopolitical, Geoeconomics and Geostrategic risks for the USA.

The biggest foreign policy and strategic failure of the USA has been that it didn't see the thaw between Iran and KSA coming
The entire Muslim world is now bifurcated into Russian & Chinese Camps
Hardly any Muslim nation will back America if a war breaks out between larger powers

Pakistan, the only Moslem Power with nuclear weapons, is the closest Chinese Ally not just in South Asia but the whole world.
It's akin to Italy under the Axis Power cosigned Pact of Steel or how Austro Hungarian Empire was buttressing the Kaiser.
BRI's epicentre is Gawadar.

Don't know how the Malay Triangle which consists of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei will tie themselves in SE Asia, but at least two out of these three are largely Anti-Semite Nations.
Malaysia under DR M blamed George Soro, Jews and the Quantum Fund for attacking the currency.

They are some in Indonesia who won't forget the CIA's role in overthrowing Sukarno's regime and the communist revolutionaries during the Cold War.
Then AFC overthrew Suharto.
Later, the dismembered East Timor caused embarrassment.
Indonesia will go with China or Russia.

So the USA and its allies will be facing a three-pronged challenge in International Politics and Relations.
One coming from Russia, China and the unified Moslem Bloc which is now led by Erdoğan, MBS+ MBZ, and Iranian-backed Shia Moslem Nations and their proxies.
Sensible?

#Afghanistan was a good listening post for the Americans due to its proximity to China, Pakistan, Iran, and the CIS Bloc
The overthrow of the American-backed regime of Ashraf Ghani has dealt a severe blow to the Yanks in SWA South West Asia.
Russia is befriending the Taliban

Potential nuclear flashpoints remain ->
1. War in Ukraine
2. Kashmir
3. Two Koreas
4. Taiwan
5. South China Sea where a contest b/w China and primarily Japan and Vietnam cant be ruled out.

The most unnoticed development in Latin America is one which involves the growing influence of China in the Argentinian military upgrade
The Chinese alongside Pakistan might sell their co-manufactured multi-role fighter jet to the Argies
JF 17 Thunder Block 3
Remember #Falklands?

If the Chinese and the Russians can market their weapon systems on easier credit terms to the Latinos, African and Caribbean Nations, then it will be reminiscent of 1962-style tensions when Cuba was being homed by the Soviets to keep an eye on the American Geostrategic moves.

Actually, Donald Trump despite his rhetoric understood the importance of the Moslem Nations in International Politics and Economics.
He kept KSA on his side and kept the Arabs, the Persians, and the Turks equally divided.
Played a role in easing tensions btw India and Pakistan.

Both Biden today and previously, Obama made the same mistakes.
Myopic!
Both president didn't understand foreign policy, national defence and security imperatives in International Relations, Politics, Economics, and Military Geostrategy.
