Ukraine war: Blinken says China may give weapons to Russia (+ flight tracking update: Chinese Air Force military transport plane en route to Russia right now...)
BBC ^ | 2/19/2023 | Samuel Horti

China is considering giving Russia weapons and ammunition for the Ukraine war, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.

Mr Blinken told CBS News that Chinese companies were already providing "non-lethal support" to Russia - and new information suggested Beijing could provide "lethal support".

This escalation would mean "serious consequences" for China, he warned.

China has denied reports that Moscow has requested military equipment.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and is yet to condemn Russia's invasion - but he has sought to remain neutral in the conflict and has called for peace.

China's foreign ministry said it would not accept "finger pointing" and "coercion" from the US over its relations with Russia.

Sell Americans cheap trinkets & use the profits to make weapons which are given to Russians to fight Ukrainians who are using weapons paid for with the taxes of Americans.

I can’t explain how but somehow the circle seems complete.

China doesn’t give things away.

They aren’t idiots like those in our government.

“Good grief. Have you no brain? We no longer are set up to produce even a tiny amount of what we have outsourced to China. We don’t even produce the bulk of our medicine.”

We USED TO manufacture practically everything we used. Then the Labor Unions took advantage of that, and Nixon gave the federal government HUGE POWERS to shut down US manufacturing.

...so we’re through as a major manufacturing country, and if we lose access to China’s factories without already having replacements (hopefully in Mexico, as it’s next to impossible to manufacture in the US - so Mexico is the best we can hope for), we will be TOAST.

Biden gave Putin the green light to invade Ukraine in a “minor incursion.” And Putin and his crappy military screwed up the whole deal.

China’s goal is to empty out NATO so they can swarm Taiwan. Some people are dumb. Some people see things.

You even don’t see what you post. It is a CENTRAL ASIA airspace on picture. Somewhere in Uzbekistan.

It is NOT Russia.

China military planes going to Russia have no needs to turn on the callsigns and moreover to report it to BBC.

I agree it would have been a smart move to deal with Ukraine’s insanity, but I haven’t heard of it. Might you have a link?

China is sending a message before Xi’s “peace proposal” to be unveiled on Feb. 24.

Some people obviously have no idea how long it would take to return to our manufacturing years.

Anything for Ukraine. Doesn’t matter how much damage it does to the US. Leftists don’t think. They just assume all this stuff was easy peasey.

No, no, no... globalist media advocating for “sovereignty” for Ukraine to join NATO and get western military bases...good.

Them not advocating for Solomon Islands to have “sovereignty” to have a Chinese military base built... also good.

Globalist media reporting on NATO being okay to violate their defensive charter and to attack Serbs to help Clinton and Muslims...and also okay to attack Libya to help Obama... also good to globalist media.

BRICS bad (especially Brazil under Bolsonaro and Hungary under Orban to globalist media) but WEF...good to globalist media.

Trump blasts Biden over Russia-Ukraine gaffe

January 21, 2022

Former President Donald Trump slammed President Biden on Thursday for allegedly giving Russia the “green light” to invade Ukraine during his chaotic press conference — and suggested something wasn’t “normal” with the commander-in-chief.

“When he said ‘they may go in, they will go in,’ and he talks about a ‘minor incursion,’ I sort of said, ‘I don’t believe he said that,’ because that’s giving the green light,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity during a wide-ranging interview.

“He really told them to go in,” Trump added. “I think this is a whole different ball game right now.”

Biden set off alarms in Kiev during his first solo press conference in 10 months when he initially vowed that “Russia will be held accountable” if it launches an attack against Ukraine, but then softened his own vow by saying: “It depends on what it does.”

“It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion, and then we end up having a fight about what to do and what not do, etc.,” the president went on.

Biden did make such a remark. He wanted Russia to invade Ukraine to get the proxy war going. The dumped and left that debacle in Afghanistan because they wanted this war so bad.
