The United States is currently dealing with serious threats to its safety than it has in a long time, maybe ever. The U.S. hasn't had such powerful military rivals in Europe or Asia since the Korean War. The problem is that when the U.S. needs to respond to threats, it can’t because its leadership is divided. Republicans and Democrats can’t agree on how to deal with China and Russia. They also haven’t explained how these threats are connected, and they dont have a long-term plan to protect American values and power. The leadership of China and Russia, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin has similar goals. They both want to make their countries strong and respected like they were in the past. But they also think that democratic countries, especially the U.S., are getting weaker. They see things like isolationism, political fighting and unrest in these countries as signs of decline. Therefore, the policy of Xi Jinping and Putin are a big problem for the U.S. Through a comprehensive analysis of diplomatic exchanges, security postures and economic interactions, the study illuminates the disjunctions or alignments between rhetorical pronouncements and tangible actions of U.S. foreign policy. The paper provides valuable insights into the complexities of relationships and approach to manage its engagements with China and Russia.
