Communism/Socialism has been targeted by the USA since the Russian Revolution
as enemy # 1 and the US-UK support of Stalin 1942-45 was simply a temporary "means
to an end": ie: to defeat Germany. And that was evidenced by the rapid targeting of the
USSR in 1946 as US enemy # 1 followed up the Korean War and later by McCarthyism.

Russia and China have now commenced a concerted push back of the USA which
is causing the global spectre of a Nuke War.: Russia on the Ukraine/Belarus front
& China tradewise and via its militarised South China Sea Islands.

Of course the US was threatening the USSR post WW2 & up to the mid -1950s until
the USSR Nuked-up and developed its ICBMs & its Nuke armed Subs....then the conflict
lapsed into a protracted ideological/economic war called the Cold War.

The Koran War followed by the Vietnam War sent a signal to both China & Russia
that short of a Nuke War, the US was beatable.

The USA thought it was "King of the Heap" during the 1990s without much opposition
except a global terrorist act here and there .Post 9/11 China hit its straps economically &
Russia consolidated from the collapse of the USSR and the rest is near history:
The USA bunged economic sanctions on Russia re its re-annexation of the Crimea
and then the Trump 'in your face" attack on China and hey presto, a divided world again,
only this time around the coalition of China-Russia presents a formidable US enemy
both militarily & conomically.

All IMO only!

"the coalition of China-Russia presents a formidable US enemy

Reluctant enemies.
They want to integrate fully into the world capitalist economy as capitalist countries. But now Russia and China are being reminded of the nature of imperialism and find the US military encamped on the front porch, in the backyard and bashing on the windows and doors while the dutiful MSM screams "Russian aggression ! , Chinese aggression !
