IS THERE AN INCREASED RISK OF A SINO-SOVIET MILITARY ALLIANCE THAT POSES A THREAT TO THE SECURITY OF AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS AND AUSTRALIANS AND MANY ASIANS?

ONE OF THE PUBLIC-POLICY ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:

IS THERE AN INCREASED RISK THESE DAYS OF A SINO-SOVIET MILITARY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA THAT BRUTALIZES AND ANNIHILATES COUNTRIES WHICH OPPOSE THAT VERY POWERFUL COMBINED MILITARY FORCE?

FOR THIS AND OTHER REASONS, MY PEACE-LOVING AND HONORABLY NON-CHRISTIAN "PROGRESSIVE PROHIBITIONIST RELIGION" URGES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN THE UNITED STATES TO ASSIGN HIGHER PRIORITY THAN AT PRESENT TO STUDYING THE EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA.

THIS EMERGING PUBLIC-POLICY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN EMPHASIZED MUCH IN THE 21ST CENTURY, FROM WHAT I CAN PERSONALLY RECALL. 

BACK IN THE 1970s, AT LEAST ONE RESEARCHER ON SINO-SOVIET RELATIONS WHOM I CAN RECALL WAS INTERVIEWED ON TELEVISION ABOUT THAT VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT. IN THOSE DAYS, UNLIKE TODAY, THERE WAS A CITED IDEOLOGICAL CONFLICT AND POSSIBLE THREAT OF MILITARY CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA.

I BELIEVE THAT THE RESEARCHER WHOM IN THE 1970S I ONCE OBSERVED BEING INTERVIEWED ON TELEVISION ABOUT THAT TOPIC WAS PROBABLY HARVARD UNIVERSITY ASIAN-STUDIES RESEARCHER ROSS TERRILL, HIMSELF A NATIVE OF AUSTRALIA.
