China and Russia are posing an increasing threat to Western allies, as Nato tries to heal internal splits with the US and Turkey.

That was the picture painted by Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg and the US ambassador to Nato, Kay Bailey Hutchison, in Brussels on Monday (30 November).

US ambassador to Nato, Kay Bailey Hutchison, with outgoing US president Donald Trump (c) (Photo: Whitehouse.gov) "China is investing massively in new weapons. It is coming closer to us, from the Arctic to Africa," Stoltenberg told press ahead of a Nato foreign ministers' meeting on Tuesday.

"It does not respect fundamental human rights and tries to intimidate other countries," he added.

At the same time, Russia "is deploying more forces in our neighbourhood, from the High North to Syria and Libya" and "as a result of the crises in Belarus and Nagorno-Karabakh [a region in Azerbaijan]," he also said.

"We're seeing both China and Russia making a lot more forays through ships, submarines, as well as overflying boundaries," in the Arctic, Hutchison told press in a separate briefing the same day.

The Chinese military was also "very active in space", she said.

Well considering there are millions of Chinese and Russian Bolsheviks living in the US, they have already conquered us without firing a shot.

Trump has done his part by getting out of arms control treaties Russia was flagrantly violating and China isn’t a part of, ramping up spending on new weapons systems and getting the US out of small wars regional powers should be taking care of. On the third point, the amounts aren’t massive relative to the overall economy, but they are almost the size of the annual procurement budget. Those are carriers, fighter jets and submarines we’re giving up to fight these inconsequential opponents.

Kay Bailey Hutchison, spit. Texas Deep Stater. Clinton enabler. Stabbed Juanita Broaddrick in the back and walked away.
