Wasn't China the #1 fear in 2012. More around the economy taking over/high growth rates / pegged currency. Russia only came back in vogue after Trump/election.

You have this a bit backwards. Russia sanctions predate Trump and were kept in place by Congress despite his efforts to overturn them. They were not put in place by Trump.
