So with puppet Xiden in charge, the Russian Chinese alliance and kicking soldiers out of our military for "wrong think" we're in for a thrashing. All part of the master plan unfortunately. Active shooting war right around the time the proof starts flooding in about the election fraud. Defense department purges begin Joe's plan, which was given to him to sign, is to draw a red line in the Ukraine....worked before, right(?)....with lipstick and by the first tranny he can get appointed to General. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Particularly when people can see, smell, and watch the problem unfold: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2288377/Cancer-villages-Global-twitter-revolt-hamlet-wells-poisoned-disease-rates-soaring.html It is not unlike the London Fog in say, the 1950s, or the particulate matter that hovered over Los Angeles in the 1970s. China has to balance development and environmental protection, just like we do. But that doesn't mean that decision making is strictly made with one voice: https://www.reuters.com/article/china-environment-idUSL4N2K504Z It is clear that coal emissions will go up in the very short term, the amount of coal as part of primary power generation will continue to go down, emissions will peak around 2030, and their plan is be carbon neutral completely by 2060. There is no way that the Paris Climate Treaty would have been agreed to if China (and India) had not started getting polluted as much as they did and starting having political effects. It was literally what torpedoed the Copenhagen protocol in 2010. But since, Xi (and Modi) have changed their mind, a lot of it because of domestic pressure, but they also see it as a business opportunity. Hail capitalism! "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." The collected philosophy of Xi Jinping "thought". Don't hold your breath on that...coal production will have to increase dramatically in China to feed the EV revolution. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On his next trip to China, they flew a J20 publicly for the first time. We’ll see what happens with Biden’s decisions. Gay-tes however has proven himself a typical member of ‘the elites’.

Tomasz + 1,608 April 19, 2021 Well, Russia will never give up Ukraine because it is a matter of national security. Russia will do another Iraq or Syria there sooner, following the example of the West. And if you don't like it, I remind you of the crisis related to the placement of missiles in Cuba. If someone dreams of World War III, let the West keep pushing in Ukraine, it will eventually come to it. On the other hand, the user frankfurter is right - on March 24, the President of Ukraine issued a presidential decree to recapture Crimea and Donbas, and Ukrainian troops in Donbas had been gathering since the beginning of the year. Russia, in return for the gathering of Ukrainian troops, began to transfer the Russian troops because they came to the conclusion that Zelenski was planning to repeat the case of Sakashvili. Judging how the United States and the West were hostile to Russia over the last 30 years, it should come as no surprise that Russia had no choice but to put everything on China. The West lost Russia and, in my opinion, will pay a very high price in the competition with China. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the price we pay will differ based on the positions the US takes against the issues we have with China. Those issues are Trade, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, Intellectual Property Theft, Currency Manipulation, Uighurs to name a few. Look for China to become more emboldened in it's foreign policy and trade policy. It's should come as no surprise that Russia amasses military on the Ukraine border 2 months after Trump leaves office. This D administration will not stand up to the Chinese or Russians and the Chinese and Russians know it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
