China and Russia are working on a JOINT invasion of Taiwan, US intelligence fears

China and Russia are working on a joint invasion of Taiwan, US intelligence officials fear.

'We see China and Russia, for the first time, exercising together in relation to Taiwan and recognising that this is a place where China definitely wants Russia to be working with them, and we see no reason why they wouldn't,' Avril Haines, Director of US National Intelligence, told the US Congress on Thursday.

Her warning on the potential cooperation between the countries on Taiwan, which China has long claimed as its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary, was echoed by Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse.

He said that the US Defence Department has 'become even more concerned about our joint force requirements in an environment where [Russia and China] would certainly be cooperative, and we need to take that into account,' Bloomberg reports.

A potential joint invasion of Taiwan was raised in the meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee by Republican Senator Mike Rounds, who asked the head of the Defence Intelligence Agency about the Pentagon's plans should an invasion happen.

I thought intelligence officials feared President Trump most of all.

No problem.

Our neocons will be able to smack down the Chinese and Russkies with those long-range ATACMs missiles!

Oh, wait...

The game plan for Brandon will probably be to turn the other way, then blame Trump for the fall of Taiwan.

Yeah, sure, to coincide with the US election. Would be WWIII for sure. Sure Putin is down for a two front war, you know, withe the war in Ukraine going so well. Though the will, imo, win that war.

US intelligence officials fear?

U.S. intelligence officials have their heads up their asses and obviously didn’t notice the open border national security time bomb right under their noses, right here in this country. You can’t believe an effing word they say.

So you are saying (the article) RuZZia and China are enemies of Taiwan and the USA?

Let the truth be told.

Let no one on FR doubt that RuZZia and China are the enemies!

I didn’t know there were enough nazis or Russian speakers in Tiawan to make it worthwhile to Putin.

The only thing Russia might do is give China technical information, if they asked.

At least they’re not blaming the “climate” as the greatest existential threat of all time.

And meanwhile the chicoms are dumping their illegals on us and won’t take them back. This will not end well.

Yeah... that seems plausible. Russia is ready to start operations in the Pacific Theater now. Morons.
DC has lost it’s ever loving mind.

But if Avril Haines thinks so.... /s

No way does Putin want a two-front war for Russia. But he’d love to see a two-front war for the United States. We’re already involved (indirectly) in one war, in Ukraine. Taiwan would be the second.

So I can see Putin agitating for China to attack Taiwan. But what material help could Russia actually offer? Maybe just help with intelligence-gathering.

Meanwhile, Biden isn’t thinking about two-front wars. He’s thinking about two-scoop ice cream cones. What a mess.

Russia can’t afford to finish the invasion of Ukraine, so, how would they be able to join in the fight in another part of rhe world?

And, China and Russia would be risking a much bigger war by going after Taiwan. Do they really want that fight?

The only thing in their favor, is the weakness of the Biden administration, who would likely give them the go-ahead by saying and doing nothing.

So, if China and Russia want to act against Taiwan, they better hurry up, because Trump would have none of it.

That is why they would do. China bailing them out.
