"We have seen them provide non-lethal support to Russia for use in Ukraine. The concern that we have now is based on information we have that they're considering providing lethal support,..."...Blinken confirmed that Chinese companies are already providing non-lethal support to the Russian effort. He noted the relationship between Chinese companies and the Chinese government, saying, "To date, we have seen Chinese companies and of course, in China, there's really no distinction between private companies and the state."

Such sweethearts, those Chinese. Imagine being ruled by them. Biden & Co. would be only too glad to make that happen, for the right amount of money.

And the USA has been providing lethal support to Ukraine since at least 2014.

I thought they point was to extend this war as long as possible?

Our entire foreign policy is compromised and is systematically destroying the country as we know it.

Does Blinken have a point to make?
China will do whatever it wants as long as Poopy Pants is squatting in the 0val 0ffice.

The financial effort with the cost of military hardware the U.S. is providing is impacting our military. Biden has depleted our oil reserves and the national debt is in economy-collapsing territory. We have spent the cost of taking out balloons with those F-22s at the average cost per flying hour of $68,000. Four Sidewinder missiles cost $1,600,000. All that for balloons. If we waged a military action against China’s invasion of Taiwan, we wouldn’t be shooting down balloons.

I’m beginning to think there will be no elections in 2024 but if there are elections, they will be more rigged than last time. We’ll probably never see a Republican president again.

I don’t have to imagine. Their employee is currently in the White House.

If China helps Russia they can not lose. China can make all the shells and rockets Putin could use in a life time. Its over for Zelensky. Ukraine will survive, a rump state, but survive. Putin will be glad to keep his slice for his “New Russia” He may even let Kiev keep Odessa. It may well come to pass that Ukraine and Russia will be allies in the future against an expansionist Poland?

Don’t forget the millions in weaponry we left in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is sitting on deposits estimated to be worth $1 trillion or more, in what may be the world’s largest lithium reserves in the world. China is pushing Afghanistan for exclusive access to that resource. Lithium is said to be the new oil of the coming age. People are calling Biden the Manchurian Candidate as a puppet being used by an enemy power—China.

Of course. 2022 was more rigged than 20.

Moral relativism again.

Leftist tool for a century at least.

China and Russia will not back down until Trump is elected. Everything is going their way as long as the Dems are in power.

The difference is that Putin’s Russia is the invading force.
