The main focus of the global strategy should still be that that of US, Russia and China. Just because USSR was dissolve doesn't mean that Russia is now a weak country. In contrary, Russia is still a powerful independent force not easily influence by others. So do not count Russia out.
Since this is no different than cold war, the US president that really messed this up is Clinton. He allowed Russia/China to grow closer to each other in all aspects. As of now, Russia/China are politically closer to each other than each are to the US. This is dispite the fact that Russia is trying to become closer to Western Europe and China is actually integrating its economy with US. If China and Russia are capable of become even more close, then US would would need to find a counter weight such as India, which is what Bush Jr did. A better strategy is if US can some how "separate" Russia and China, than no such counter weight is needed.
As for China and Russia, it need to know its friends and enemies. These two countries should try to work with India and brazil and form a BRIC alliance and confederation of some sorts. And also BRIC should be the foundation. In the sense, SCO is actually counter productive because it doesn't include all the BRIC country. If BRIC can become a strong alliance, then we are looking at a bi-polar world. With US lead wester alliance and a BRIC alliance most likely will head by China as first among equals.
Another potential global player is the EU if Europeans can come close together and form an independent voice.
