<We'll end up having different allies for fighting a different enemy.>

This is what I thought, during the battle of Afghanistan. (I refer to it as a battle, not a war, as I consider it just one campaign in what will be a decades-long war.)

I was tremendously encouraged, when we got so much help from Russia. They seemed to be over their resentment at losing the Cold War, and realized the U.S. and Russia had permanent strategic co-interests in fighting Islamism.

But, I have become tremendously discouraged since then, because all the potential "different allies" have abandoned us. And they have abandoned us, because of specific attitudes and doctrines of the U.S. Administration's foreign policy. We are losing the core allies of the Cold War, and I don't see any replacements.
