24:00 - the whole discussion about "driving a wedge between the PRC & Russia" is non-sensical. The only reason Nixon was able to do so to some extent was because the US had relatively better bilateral relations with each country than they had between themselves. This precondition simply doesn't exist right now. Today, the US is one miscalculation away from a hot war vs both countries, so any talk of "driving a wedge" between them under current circumstances is simply delusional. Until US power is diminished in a fundamental way, all this "driving a wedge" rhetoric - regardless of who is in charge of US foreign policy - is simply fantasy. The other thing that most pundits (especially those in the US) NEVER mention is that these types of realignments take decades to implement. It took over a decade to implement some kind of US-Soviet detente, it took nearly 2 decades for the US & PRC just to have substantive, high-level, state-to-state dialogue (let alone the subsequent temporary reproachment that took place after the Nixon visit). Even if the US committed to a foundational shift in terms of attitude & policy today, it won't even be in a position for any sort of "wedge-driving" for at least 1-3 decades.
