Both will work together to undermine the US. If there are three world players that would be the US, China, Russia - which of the three is the least problem?
You can add a 4th with the EU but they are not as important nor effective as their potential would make them.

Romney wasn't as big a fool as he walked made to look, but that is how campaigns go.
