‘Don’t Mess With Us’: Mike Johnson Issues Stark Warning To China And Russia’s ‘Big Pact’

and sir you mentioned that there is this this growing alignment of China Russia Iran North Korea various authoritarian uh countries that all seek the same thing which is to to undermine US influence and stability um in the world but are you of the mind um or the school of thought that believes that because China has the most capacity do the most harm that we should focus on the Asia geographic region to the exclusion of the middle EAS in Europe we we can’t afford to I mean we we we can’t uh we don’t have the resources to be engaged all around the world and nor nor should we be but China and Russia in particular are working together to try to present to us a false Choice do we engage in the Asia Asia region or or the Middle East or in Europe because there’s confrontation all around and all of those countries are working together and flaunting it they’re trying to test our resolve because they know the only thing standing between uh their their tyrannical uh overrun of the entire Globe is the is the might of the US just like it was as Reagan said 50 years ago um and and they they see us as weakened right now to be frank because they see weakness projected from uh the Oval Office and it’s a very very dangerous situation for us now I’ve been uh quick to point out in in interviews I’ve done over the last couple of weeks uh I look right in the camera as often as I can and I would encourage all you to do the same in every setting and and sphere of influence you have and remind our enemies do not think this is an opportunity for you regardless of the drama surrounding our current commander-in-chief the US military is well equipped and ready to strike at any time we will defend our interests and I think we got to be very bold in that assertion and make sure they understand the resolve of Congress and uh and and the rest of this country don’t mess with us okay but China Russia have made their big pack now with all the you know celebrated that in the media that you know Iran and is joining in North Korea doesn’t want to be left out I mean it it’s a China Le axis and I think we uh do great damage to our cause if we underestimate it and so then on that point I mean I noticed in that the Trump Administration still viewed Russia as an acute threat um on peer a peer adversary threat that the United States had to contend with and it seems like the Biden Administration also wants to do sort of an Asia pivot like what the Obama Administration did so but is your view though you mentioned about Russia’s contined to threat to the Baltic countries and to Poland so you take Putin seriously at his word that if he’s not stopped in Ukraine that he will continue to advance on NATO I I think it’s a a real concern now we have the only good thing that’s come out of the conflict in Ukraine the war in Ukraine is that we’ve shown that Putin was overestimated in terms of his ability to um prosecute a war and by some estimates they’ve lost over a half a million Russian troops in the conflict and they’ve obviously gone through a lot of their assets and their equipment um their their ammunitions and so uh in a certain sense uh engaging there has been very helpful for our long-term interests because you’re you’re weakening Russia in the process but he’s realigned his economy to be a wartime economy and by all appearances he could go on for quite some time and I I I think it’s it’s very serious he said it in his own words he he aspires to have the the great Zar Empire again and I think if he had the ability and he did not have deterrence I I’m of the mind that I think he would and I think most most people who study this seriously believe that’s a real real serious threat and so you know I I don’t think it could be underestimated I think we have to watch China Russia Iran North Korea Venezuela Cuba all of them at at the same time and we can we have to be very smart and we have to project peace through strength if we don’t return to the Reagan Doctrine we’re going to be in serious trouble and

During a conversation about US national security at the Hudson Institute, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) spoke about efforts to combat China’s and Russia’s global influence.

  3. Hahaha! The BIG PACT is TRULY NATO & its expansion that Russia must have felt threatened that gave us a Ukraine problem we know today!

  4. Oohhhh.. I bet russia's 🇷🇺 scared! Ohh noo merica!

    Mike Johnson the 🤡 😏

    This will be your last war! Make no mistake about it 👊 🇺🇸

  5. Mike Johnson is badly mistaken. The USA Era is over, finish, done, finito…. The World, the free world is building the multipolar sistem around them (USA-EU). China and Rusia is to-day leading the free World and the only option for freedom, liberty and prosperity. NATO is a present clear danger for peace and the well being of humanity. USA and EUROPE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THEY ARE NO LONGER IN the DRIVER SEAT. WE ARE, THE PROPLE oF WORLD. Together say we are taking any more so much garbage from their oligars, oh they call them business people or CEOs of their terrorist corporation and WHITE HOUSE.

  7. US: "Don't mess with us"

    China: "What? We just asked you if you wanted white or fried rice"

    Russia: "But you Praised Putin in your UN speech"

    US: "War!!!"

    Scott Ritter: "The US has lost its ability for diplomacy".

  10. I can’t make up my mind if American elites really are this delusional about America’s relative military superiority and the resistance’s intentions, or if they feel they’re cornered into having to talk up their country’s strength just to maintain their own status, though they have better intelligence that the empire is doomed to fall.

  11. Recent history has shown NATO to be the real existential threat to not just the world but humanity itself. Not the US, not the EU, but NATO. They are racist, hypocritical, and arrogant at the same time. Not to mention shameless with their careless excuses and rhetoric when they perpetrate travesty. The record of the last century testifies to the US being the trouble generator. But lately, the problem has worsened with a new trend evolving. The US started attack ing non friendly countries in company with NATO. This trend started with the Iraq war under the Bush administration. It was so so successful both in military and more so, in propaganda terms,that it set the modus operandi for all following war campaigns. From the recent development of geopolitics one cannot help but suspect a sinister, unholy and insidious understanding between them. They are on a mission to either conquer the world or destroy it. RUSSIA, in perspective, is not a threat, but rather, an obstacle. A huge one at that! She now more than ever ever, needs help. When speaker Johnson spoke about the Russia-China axis, he was gaslighting his audience. It is the US and. Nato that are evolving into the axis powers of Ww2. If humanity cherishes a decent world, we should then unite and rise to repel the west, NATO in particular, going forward. Right now, unappealing as it may sound, the most practical course of action is to back the Russia-China alliance. It's the only choice for a multi polar world.

  12. Like someone who shamelessly distorts the facts. Who always messes up the world and creates wars for the benefit of MIC. Who always makes accusations and various false propaganda such as in Iraq, Lybia and others. The world community, including the American people, is aware of what the American government is doing.

  17. If ever US and Natos decided to fight start a world war…citizens should ask their nation politicians and elites children and grandchildren to fight in the war front themselves and not hide behind their cushy business and jobs profiteering from the intentional war that purposely created to enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers money and lives!

  19. Bad thing to say, but those american citizens really got to get some real war experience with their cities bombed and burnt, with hunger and mess everwhere. All that sh#t that Russia, Vietnam, Iraq, China been through. Maybe then they would appreciate peace a bit more. War ain't nothing like those stupid Hollywood movies.

  26. Mike Johnson so so jealous of Russia and China success
    He knows they are getting ahead of USA 🇺🇸 😂😅

  27. eventually united state has to surrender Ukraine to Russia and taiwan to china and the loser are USA and NATO
