For First Time, NATO Accuses China of Supplying Russia’s Attacks on Ukraine
NY Times ^ | July 10, 2024 | David E. Sanger

Posted on 07/10/2024 4:19:14 PM PDT by McGruff

After decades of viewing China as a distant threat, NATO on Wednesday accused Beijing of becoming “a decisive enabler of Russia’s war against Ukraine,” and demanded that it halt shipments of “weapons components” and other technology critical to the rebuilding of the Russian military.

The statement is contained in a declaration approved by the 32 leaders of the alliance, shortly before they headed to a dinner at the White House on Wednesday night.

...

But the declaration contains an implicit threat that China’s growing support for Russia will come at a cost. China “cannot enable the largest war in Europe in recent history without this negatively impacting its interests and reputation,” the declaration said, particularly calling out “its large-scale support for Russia’s defense industrial base.”

Doesn’t China supply the drones that the Ukes modify to attack invading Russians?

China absolutely loves watching the fools of NATO cast their eggs at the Russian brick wall, in a war which occupies them both.

“For First Time, NATO Accuses China of Supplying Russia’s Attacks on Ukraine”

Oh my, are we now going to try to ‘sanction’ and economy that is significantly larger than ours, after falling FLAT ON OUR FACES trying to do the same to an economy ONE TENTH the size of than the US/EU economy (or 10 times smaller, for the Zeepers).

So what?

NATO countries openly are assisting Ukraine.

Why shouldn't China be able to do the same thing to help Russia?

Biden and the other geniuses running NATO are the ones that pushed the Russians into an alliance with China. That is one of the dumbest and most dangerous acts of stupidity in decades.

The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

Nothing gets by those NATO bureaucrats.

Only took them two years to say the obvious.

1) Chicoms sell to both sides. After all, why not? We do.

2) Chicoms need the russkie’s nat resources as much as they need US customers. Two sides of the same coin.

The Norks, though, that’s different. Huge army, strict loyalty, obey orders unquestioned. The russkie deal made with the Norks will now mean they’re going to be very well fed too.

Well if the US going to accuse them of doing it, and sanction them, and prepare for war against them using NATO....

I would not be shocked if China starts providing microprocessers to Russia after the way the Blinken visit in May went. The way our State Department has run since Obama became president is sheer insanity. The same domestic politics and tricks used in Chicago were incorporated into how we deal with other countries. When we make a deal we make them accept the LGBT as a precondition. Then we strong arm them if they hold out.

Russia normalized ties with the Taliban and will be building railroads, pipelines, and link to China and Iran. China and Russia are going to have a joint Belts and Roads network that extends across Africa and Asia.

Wonder if Afghanistan is selling US equipment to use against Ukraine, who they are selling it too.

India just signed a trade and military pact with Russia that goes for 10 years. India depends on Russia for a lot of their military equipment.

Biden and his War, Inc. crew have isolated the US and EU. For America it better to be in charge of nothing than compete or share the world’s economy with other nations.
