Newsweek: China Military Starts Work with France and Germany, Tells U.S. to Mind Its Business on 'Missile Test'
The Chinese armed forces have launched two separate operations alongside France and Germany while at the same time dismissing concerns by fellow NATO Western military alliance member the U.S. regarding an alleged missile test in the disputed South China Sea.
Citing the Central Military Commission's Logistic Support Department Health Bureau, the Chinese military's official site reported Wednesday that a team of 91 personnel has departed for Munich to participate alongside Germany's own medical corps in the 14-day Combined Aid-2019 exercise set to begin that same day. The deployment was described as "the first time for China to dispatch a complete unit of medical service forces with real combat equipment to conduct joint exercise in Europe."

It's not a unipolar world any longer. The level-headed defense experts warned us about things like unrestricted drone warfare and using them as if we were the only country who ever could. Now we've got a world with competing powers and a bucket load of bad precedents that WE set during our short span of hegemony.
I doubt many of the leadership figures within NATO foresaw a day when China would be conducting military drills in central Europe under friendly pretenses. Makes me wonder what else they're missing.
German (MERKEL!) the spineless leader has done it again... yet we are told by media that TRUMP is the traitor.. sure
Merkel makes massive oil deal with Putin -- CNN CHEERS
Merkel almost destroys the EU (weaking NATO with it) with her failed - and admittedly so(!) - immigration polices - CNN applauded, shortly after we got BREXIT, again weakening the alliance
Now this? WTF!
Can someone please check wtf is going on? Why are we told by the media that Trump is the villain while Merkel makes business with China and Russia? like wtf!
Martin Schulz, the president of the European Parliament, is a close friend of mine. He once told me, during a frank and stern conversation, “For me, the new Germany exists only in order to ensure the existence of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.”
That my friend, is why the neoliberals in Europe are almost completely exempt from media criticism. Yes I already know; I'm evil for mentioning this. Oh well.
