I'm not for one moment suggesting we ally with China or Russia. I think we can have friendly relations with other nations through the art of diplomacy though AND be a big enough dog with a big enough fight within us to stand on our own.Again, you need to direct your replies to those advocating alliances other than sam and chuck.
For that though we'd need the things with an intercontinental reach that can burn armies, fry cities and end nations to enforce a national doctrine of 'armed neutrality'. We'd never need to use them but the mere fact of their existence would be such a powerful deterrent.
