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.

He would do, because China would bail him out. Quid pro quo.

Argentina and Russia are working on a joint invasion of the Falkland Islands, US intelligence officials fear.

Pass it on. When you do also whisper ‘Russia!, Russia!, Russia!’.

Something major is going to happen before the election. Villains of the world know their time is limited.

Our federal government can longer implementment the constitution. Either through weakness or graft they have no interest 10+ million immigrants in 3.4 years. Add it up. We are being replaced.

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

China won't bail them out, and what China is doing now is assisting Russia at a low level. China is not going to give away the store when China is building up to threaten Taiwan.

The China/Russia partnership against Taiwan is just a threatening talking point and not much more.

Russia joining China in a major conflict, would be the beginning of a very hot WW3. So, not gonna happen.

Russia may want China bogged down in a quagmire in Taiwan. Keeps their eyes off Siberia and the Stans.

All that work done by Nixon and Kissinger to develop a friendly relationship with China evaporating.

The stealthy attempts to destroy Russia even after the collapse of the Soviet Union come to naught.

Now what Nixon and Kissinger feared is now happening: a growing relationship between Russia and China against the decaying US empire.

At least we have Drag Queen Story Hours keeping the white kids gay and single, and filling up the demographic drought with escapees from low IQ hell holes. Yippee for us.

Does Putin invade Taiwan before or after he invades Alaska?

> You need to go to geography class. <

Sure would be nice if you put the sarcasm aside, and provide a few details. That way I might learn something. That’s one reason I like Free Republic. Plenty of opportunity to learn something new.

Anyway, I assume you’re talking about the Russian naval base at Vladivostok. The naval forces there are small, but not insignificant. I don’t see Putin committing them. It would aggravate the United States too much. Safer for him to help China from the background.

If I’m wrong about this, kindly explain. As I said earlier, I’m always open to learning something new.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
