Take a look at this map, Ivan. China wants more than just Taiwan. It’s their Manifest Destiny.

A leading Russian senator has vowed that Vladimir Putin will come to China's aid if it goes to war over Taiwan.
But Vladimir Dzhabarov, the first deputy chairman of the international committee in Russia's Federation Council, said the Kremlin's backing would be offered on the understanding that Beijing would show support in kind for the war in Ukraine.
'I see no grounds to refuse to help China,' the politician declared.
'But I would like to see a two-way movement with China.
'It means that we should have some benefits from this cooperation.'
Putin and China's president Xi Jinping have seemingly fostered close ties in recent years, but there is concern in Moscow that Beijing has thus far declined to openly support the Kremlin's 'special military operation' launched on February 24.
It comes amid escalating tensions between China and Taiwan after US house speaker Nancy Pelosi made an unannounced diplomatic visit to the self-governing island nation which Beijing claims as its own.
Close Putin ally Dzhabarov made it clear that Russia is ready to back China in any conflict over disputed island Taiwan - a move which would consolidate its anti-Western alliance.
'I am convinced that in this case China hopes for a certain assistance from Russia... because it will be difficult for China to confront the United States without Russia's support,' he said.
'Sometimes it is a game of chance and a conflict may grow into a big war.
'But I think that China is behaving very cautiously in this sense, in a very restrained manner, while continuing to build up its defence potential,' Dzhabarov concluded.
The 69-year-old Russian lawmaker and former FSB officer was in 2018 awarded the prestigious Alexander Nevsky order 'for services in strengthening Russian statehood', thanks to a presidential decree from Putin.

Axis of evil today: russia and china.
Sounds like the old, “Let’s not, and say we did.”
Leave it up to the Daily Mail to spout this nonsense.
The ol’ two front war canard. Hitler certainly learned about the risks.
Russia doesn’t need any support in Ukraine. It’s all over but the excuse making of how 8 years of US backing and NATO training has been systematically mauled.
(without flattening everything)
The Daily Smell...
Maybe Russia should finish the job in the Ukraine before issuing more threats.
China is a chimera colony of the West for its economy, and of Russia for its military (hardware).
We have a war going in Ukraine involving Russia with the USA as a proxy.
We have the run up to a potential war over Taiwan involving China and the USA.
We have Iran basically claiming they have a nuclear capability, along with North Korea being reported to setting up another nuclear test.
If a war breaks out in the middle east involving Israel and Iran, we will have all the ingredients for Armageddon.
The Russian military has been absolutely blood white and Ukraine. They are deluding themselves if they think they have anything at all to offer to China.
The Axis of Evil today is WEF-Davros-Democrats.
Take a look at this map, Ivan. China wants more than just Taiwan. It’s their Manifest Destiny.

It will be Ezekiel 38, IMHO.
The big one, Armageddon, happens later. Possibly around 7 years
Time will certainly tell.
What’s happening in Kosovo these days? Does that need to be added to the list above?
(None of this would be happening under President Trump)
I agree 100%.
I hear the war drums are heating up there as well.
Google Kosovo War and you will find numerous articles about a new conflict breaking out. Here is just one.

Yeah, multiple regional conflicts around the world 🌎🌍.
Meanwhile, the USA struggles with pronouns and bathrooms.
What could possibly go wrong?
with dems and NATO pushing them together
1914 all over again.
