If we had any sense, we would be working WITH the Rooskies to box China in.
China is stoking the conflict between the US and Russia.
Ponder this: China owns the US leadership. US leadership is trying to curtail Russia via conflict and sanctions.
Meanwhile China is “supposedly” working closely with Russia in a quasi-friendship manner yet does nothing to stop the anti-Russia sentiment out of the US.
One could say China is using the US to weaken Russia.
If Russia collapses, China will grab the entire Russian Far East. If the US collapses, its only obstacle to world power is gone.
If a war breaks out, both the US and Russia will be weakened.
China comes out ahead... almost like it is planned.
