House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul are demanding that the Biden administration acknowledge that Russia and China are "working in tandem against the United States."

I have difficulty believing that Russia is assisting China’s nuclear weapons program. Surely Russia knows that China covets Siberia?

No kidding. The Biden/NATO constructed China/Russia/BRICS+ alliance is a threat to woke, green, pervo globalist hegemony.

I hate Biden more than Putin because Biden is our own turd - the sign of what America has become which I also hate. Every American somehow has helped produce this giant turd that our meat puppet president.

What happens in Russia I DGAF.

Russia is getting a little stronger by Putin's failing Terror Invasion of Ukraine...

...and its allies, China, Iran, North Korea,... Interestingly, kowtowing to such tyrants is what encourages them to plan for launching on our coastal and larger metro areas, where most of the anti-American individuals live.

Also it allows Russia to get around treaty limits, besides counting strategic nukes as “tactical” ones, and basing nuke launchers in Kazakhstan and other “former” Soviet Republics.

A treaty that Russia also never adhered to. Russia likely has 4-6k strategic nukes, and 10k+ “tactical” nukes, many of these with strategic yields. Add China’s 3k, and the likely basing of nukes in North Korea by those powers.
