China is helping Russia ramp up its defense industrial base at such a large scale that Moscow is now undertaking its most ambitious expansion in military manufacturing since the Soviet era as it continues its war against Ukraine, according to senior Biden administration officials.
The support China is providing includes significant quantities of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines and technology for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose, which Russia uses to make propellant for weapons, said the officials.
Chinese and Russian entitles have also been working jointly to produce drones inside of Russia, one of the officials said.
We have to start understanding that Russia and Iran backed by China are fighting a war against the west. We got to understand that all what is happening now is not a coincidence. China has been step by step showing its colors. This could be the 21st century version of the axis in the 1940s and ppl need to wake up because what might be now far from my bed show, could change over the next few years.
Decades of propaganda to divide the West have already been part of the war effort, and seems like it worked. There is a reason Russia meddled in US election, and why it finances EU right-wing parties and organizations.
This is the cold war pt. 2, which might turn into WW3 if we are unlucky. The EU might step up in the long term, but in the short term it all depends on the US. If they take a step back from the world stage in the next few years, we will lose.
This war is also being waged through psyops programs, or "hybrid" warfare", where most who are compromised haven't a clue that they have been owned by the adversary. The Republican party and right wing news are prime examples.
Don't worry, our military leaders have known this for multiple decades. The public (you) is only just finding out now
You know Russia and Israel are on good terms right? The facts are that Israel refused to sanction Russia even after they invaded Ukraine. Netanyahu also refused to send arms to Ukraine citing the potential for them to end up in Iranian hands. This is less surprising if you know that about a fifth of Israel’s population are Russian speakers and as a result the countries maintain close ties.
If you really think Iran, Russia, and China are part of some axis of evil then you’re living in a Bush era fantasy realm. When you’re not steeped in propaganda, it’s easy to see that they’re all just trading partners with a limited set of mutually aligned interests.
A war against capitalism and American Imperialism.
"war against capitalism"
Don't fool yourself into believing China is communist though. At this point they're just a different flavor of capitalism.
My Chinese history professor said that every citizen is a good member of the communist party, and every smart citizen buys and sells at the Shanghai stock exchange.
In support of (drumroll) eastern capitalism and eastern imperialism.
You can't have the moral high ground and also be playing the same shitty game with the same shitty tactics.
