"That is true too, but I was specifically thinking of the strategic exploitation of the ideological tensions and geopolitical rivalries of the Soviet Union and China. Detente was contingent upon triangulation, insofar as we were balancing our relationships with two great powers that had their own problematic relationship. The threat of an entente between China and the United States motivated the Soviet Union to seek to revise its own relationship with the United States. Detente between the Soviet Union and the United States, despite their greater position of strategic face- off in Europe, motivated China to continue its own thaw, lest relaxed tension in Europe enable the Soviet Union to engage in greater Asian adventurism and attempts at border revision, or even an increase in Asian influence at the expense of China." Wow, I have not seen a paragraph that packed in years :)))
