Report: China told Russia about U.S. intel on invasion

U.S. officials tried half a dozen times over three months to get China to help head off a Russian invasion of Ukraine — but were repeatedly rebuffed by Beijing...

The U.S. kept presenting Beijing with intelligence on Russia's buildup around Ukraine "and beseeched the Chinese to tell Russia not to invade...The Chinese, including the foreign minister and the ambassador to the U.S., said they did not think an invasion was in the works.

"After one diplomatic exchange in December," ..."U.S. officials got intelligence showing Beijing had shared the information with Moscow."

Remember that the adults running the whole place graduated from Ivy League schools.

There was a single, additional line to that Axios post:

‘The Chinese said the U.S. “was trying to sow discord — and that China would not try to impede Russian plans and actions.”’

Nothing more to read.

The Chinese don't pay Joe 10% for nothing.

Sersioly though, Biden is a bought and paid for CCP bagman. This is all kabuki theatre.

One one hand, you think these deep-state ideologues and neocons are high-level puppet masters, manipulating the system with complex schemes to move forward their long-term agenda

And on the other hand, you realize they are no smarter than spoiled, entitled children.

Thomas Sowell has a great quote regarding Harvard but it can be applied to ALL Ivy League schools.

Paraphrasing: ‘When I think of the catastrphes of the 20th century somewhere at the root of it is a Harvard graduate’.

I think it goes double for law school grads!

Yep. This is about who controls Ukraine and no way China would ever side with the US/NATO.

China is our friend. They give lots of money to Hunter Biden, and they have a big consumer market that our business titans salivate over. So, China has to be our friend, right?

Gd worthless POS all of them. I better stop, because I’m going a very bad place.
