[PGR88]

Russia, India, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and the US have all had just about enough of China’s crap.

And yet our deep state still treats Russia as an enemy, has NATO on its borders, and uses Putin as a straw-man excuse for every stupid Democrat political scheme. Weird.

[right way right]

Time to form a new NATO type alliance....China is not invited.
Trump will lead it, Russia would be invited....Leftist heads would explode.
Times are a changing.

Here’s how I see it. The Dems and a huge chunk of the GOPe is completely owned by China. The entertainment, tech and universities are owned by China.

The politicians see anything that makes China unhappy as bad. Russia has massive resources but is only about 10% of China’s GPD. Russia has a massive nuclear arsenal. (We and them have about 95% of the worlds supply, roughly 50/50)

If we were on good terms with Russia, that would upset China. If we can alienate Russia and cause them to ally with China, that’s great for our “China inc” political and financial class.

So we get treated to policies and neocon scams that push Russia towards China. China gets resources and muscle in return. The DOD and defense contractors get rich.

Then Trump came in and upset the applecart.
