Chinese state media mockingly commemorated Wednesday as “Invasion Day,” the day U.S. President Joe Biden and some of his top officials allegedly predicted Russia would launch an all-out invasion of Ukraine.
The Chinese jeered that while Biden anticipated the thunder of guns, the only sound to be heard along the Ukrainian border was a hype bubble popping.
China’s state-run Global Times wrote a sarcastic editorial that treated February 16 as a pivotal date in history the world could “learn” from, but not for the reasons advanced by the Biden administration:
The world has once again witnessed the shamelessness and absurdity of a group of “professional screenwriters” in the US intelligence services. People have also seen the complicated tricks of the US when setting an agenda and mobilizing public opinion. Perhaps this is exactly the “intelligence” American politicians need. As the spokesperson of China’s Foreign Ministry pointed out on Wednesday, it is exactly the persistent hype and dissemination of disinformation by some in the West that has added more turbulence and uncertainty to the world already fraught with challenges and intensified distrust and division. We hope relevant parties can stop such disinformation campaigns and do more things that benefit peace, mutual trust and cooperation.
This “intelligence farce” by the US is rare in the current international political narratives. The two sides who are hyped heading into a clash expressed their unwillingness for a war. Russia repeatedly said it won’t attack Ukraine, and the latter clarified that the situation hasn’t been that tense. Yet the US and West have hyped the imminent war non-stop, and even predicted the precise time when the war will break out. Ukraine suffered a huge loss in the panic atmosphere as exchange rates plummeted, capital fled, and flights were grounded…

Joe got hustled.

<< “In this crisis, the US is playing a game of two-side bets: whether or not Russia invades Ukraine, the US “wins.” If Russia indeed invades, the US side will say it had expected it long ago and warned repeatedly; if not, the US would say the war was avoided or postponed because of the deterrence of their sanctions.” >>
Bullseye 🎯
Putin would not interrupt while Biden tramples the economy and Canada tramples protesters. You don’t attack someone in the process of destroying themselves.
It’s so easy to mock biden. When Kim joins in the fun the guy will be humiliated.
Win-win for Biden
US loses because nothing has instilled confidence.
global laughingstock
A huge lose lose for Dementia Joe you mean.
He’s already lost when his hysterical predictions of a Wednesday invasion did not come true.
Red China is laughing at their own paid-for puppet.
Too funny. Slow Joe gets a head up on coming Russian war games near Ukraine border, and schemes with Pravda, I mean MSM, to let Slo Joe bloviate and huff and puff, and scare Putin to keep him from nuking Ukraine.
(Hint: for the slow folks...Putin was never intending to do anything but war games, and Biden knew it. But, Pravda, I mean MSM, would go along to hide the fact Russia had a planned war game, in order to scare the bejeebers out of you and me.)
Then, when Putin wraps up and everyone goes home - like they had always planned to do - MSM would hail Slo Joe as one brave take no prisoner leader. Then, you and I would be so impressed with Lunch Bucket Joe.
Looks like Chinese is not playing along with the mainstream media narrative.
Our “intelligence” (very loose term) agencies have been a farce this entire century.
In America, everything about our government, media and culture is fake. So they (our government and its organs) expect the rest of the world to fall for fake B.S. like we do here daily.
The Chinese have no credibility either. Along what is effectively the border, numerous explosions and gunfire are the norm.(p) I would not be surprised if Putin is trying to spook the Ukrainians into moving forces to defend against a possible invasion (esp. from the Chernobyl area), thereby opening up opportunities for their thinly disguised as Ukrainian separatists assets already in Donbass, etc. Gaining SE Ukraine (land access to Crimea) would be high on the agenda.
In that scenario, playing Biden and disrupting NATO is just icing on the cake.
However, listening to some of Putin's statements about use of nukes, I am not certain he is completely rational, or beyond playing nuclear blackmail.
There are lots of ways this thing can go, and some of them are sideways.

“Russia repeatedly said it won’t attack Ukraine”
You mean like when China said it wouldn’t militarize the islands they stole?
Oh, sorry China, we didn’t know that. Everybody can go home now. That includes the Russian invasion force, right?
That really is it in a nutshell.
