A war is a great way to make all opposition to the government illegal, see the 1917 Sedition Act.
China and Russia have already, many months ago, publicly declared the scope of their cooperation is "unlimited."
What kind of shyte is Zelensky trying to stir up now?
America defaulting on its debt - to its first or second largest debt-holder. What a message to send to the world.
that would be neocons shooting themselves in the head one final time. I actually would like to see it happen, out of morbid curiosity.
China does not want to ally with Russia. China wants its two rivals, Russia and the USA to use up resources fighting each other. Putin and Biden are falling for it.
More than that - WE are the (neo) Marxists now. We have become what we once opposed.
Our leaders promote a globalist, woke, green, LGBTQ agenda, using highly organized media propaganda. Simply replace the word "oppressed proletariat/workers" with "oppressed gay, environment, transgender, minority" - and you have the shift that defines neo-marxism.
Moreover, like the Soviets in the cold war, our ideology is used to undermine and create chaos in small countries around the world, in the service of that ideology and the DC empire.
This:
“An import tariff would be a good start.”
For China it’s good investment for them Putin must have made a deal with them for the land (crops) that China needs so much of.
With talks of the U.S. banning foreign countries owning U.S. land they are getting ahead of the game.
Another case of Biden and his chaos crew leadership skills.
NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT
The reason this little, pokesmoking, gay dancing midget has so much sway in the world is the very same reason Epstein held influence over so many scumbag “elites.” He’s got the “goods” on them, them being a multitude of the West’s politicians and their vile spawn.
Revealing statement copied from another site:
“...Refusing to join NATO sanctions against Russia, and maintaining a strict principle of neutrality as it has done since the Cold War era, Modi has taken advantage of availability of Russian crude oil that the US and EU now refuse. Russia is now the biggest supplier of crude oil to India overtaking Iraq and Saudi Arabia. In December, India bought 1.2 million barrels of crude from Russia every day – a whopping 33 times more than a year earlier. Ironically, some of that Russian oil is being refined in India and re-exported to the EU, which just banned Russian oil. According to energy analysts, “India is buying record amounts of severely discounted Russian crude, running its refiners above nameplate capacity, and capturing the economic rent of sky-high crack spreads and exporting gasoline and diesel to Europe.” [iv]
Before the start of the Ukraine war, India bought only 1 percent of Russia’s crude. That figure went up to 28 percent in January. No other country has increased its consumption of Russian oil as much, not even China, which has also significantly increased its buying of Russian oil. If we add imports of Russian fertilizers and sunflower oil and other products, India’s imports from Russia climbed more than 400% in eight months to November from a year earlier....”
I doubt even Biden is insane enough to get us involved in war with China and Russia that we’d almost certainly lose.
China is Russia’s ally. Why shouldn’t they provide Russian with arms—just as NATO is. Providing troops and combatants is a deal breaker.
Honestly, I think China will provide enough to keep the meat grinder going. I believe that China has its eyes on Russia’s eastern resources. They will let Russia bleed out and then walk into Siberia to “protect” it.
Russia isn’t going to like the way China treats its friends. China is like dealing with the Mafia.
China also needs imports to keep up its manufacturing, and all of its key import trading partners are in the West as well. China knows very well that to war on the West is to commit economic suicide.
“China is the one with the risk. All America has to do is quit paying interest on the debt.”
Or we can do the murder-suicide scenario: just print enough dollars to pay China off, making the debt worthless, even if it causes massive inflation for us as well.
