>China is helping Russia undertake its biggest military expansion since Soviet times, ramping up sales of machine tools, microelectronics and other technology that Moscow is using to produce missiles, tanks, aircraft and other weaponry for its war against Ukraine, according to a US assessment.
>US officials said that China provided more than 70% of the $900m (£723m) in machine tools – probably used to build ballistic missiles – imported in the last quarter of 2023 by Russia.
>They also said that 90% of Russia’s microelectronics imports – used to produce missiles, tanks, and aircraft – came from China last year.
Just doing their part to make sure everyone gets a chance to experience a world war
Ukraine can’t stand up to Russia and China on its own; we need help
There is no way not to be sad about this.
Russians, Europeans, Americans and everyone else too.
Use your dollar wisely. Spend more, whatever it takes. To buy anything, from anyone, except China.
Stop buying Chinese cars and products made in China. It’s very easy to check and there are alternatives
Democracy is an inherent risk for China and Russia and the NATO alliance and democracies around the world in general are in their way to get what they want. Russia would, if it could take Georgia, Ukraine, the Baltic States, Finland and Moldova. China would take Taiwan immediately and then repel all and any ships from the South China Sea and asert their interest in the Pacific. With South Korea under threat from China’s ally NK. They would then both support Iran and Syria in a war with Israel. Turkey, Brazil and India would look on.
I believe Putin and Xi have a deal about how they’ll carve up the world if Putin’s puppet trump wins in November.
Putin will order trump to stand down on Taiwan, in addition to leaving NATO.
The stakes in this election are incalculable.
CUT CHINA OFF!!! bunch a pussies. Fine! We will go without all their trinkets and junk that they make.
And stop worshipping money.
While the US just sits and gets pegged by MTG and devils threewayed by trump spilling out of his diaper at the other end.
So, a few thoughts on this:
1. This should be used as a hammer against the GOP who seem to support Russia, but openly hate China.
2. A close alignment of China and Russia is an existential threat to the United States.
3. This is why maintaining allies and building up NATO is so critical. Europe and the US together are a formidable disincentive to start a war.
4. Combined, the economic output of the us and Europe far outpace that of China and Russia. More than double in terms of gdp.
We need to maintain our reputation and be reliable partners.
I’m Vietnamese American, and I think the last thing you should do is trust the Chinese. They will at best exploit you, and at worst stab you in the back later when they have a better offer (The United States… You just cannot beat the US at throwing money at the problems). Russia in its desperation is digging its grave
The fact we keep buying things from china blows my mind.
Surprised much? Of course we aren’t.
Expecting a good outcome to the situation? Of course we aren’t.
Feel powerless and hate the fact that there appears to be nothing one can do to change the situation? Of course we are.
Fuck Russia.
Fuck China.
Not surprised at all
China, most likely correctly, has assessed they can use Russia as a wedge against Europe, the West, and Western-aligned Asian nations.
So that’s what we’ll continue to see
China is a total slut They give zero fucks about international priorities, or the goodness of mankind. They just want to preserve their control over people
Hey china go fuck your selves
Do a war
Xi really does look like Winnie the Pooh
What a surprise, the axis powers band together as was totally not expected. Next to North Korea obviously.
What a time to be alive though.
Sanction China.
Dollar bills make you holaaaa!!!
This is very problematic!
Red Dawn here we go
I don’t see many scenarios in which we are not at war in the next 5-10 years
Should punish China by stationing troops in Taiwan and threatening to recognize independence if they don’t stop.
