Newsweek: Putin and Xi Working Together to Force Biden into a Two-Front Crisis He Can't Win
As crises mount over Ukraine and Taiwan, an unprecedented bond between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping has allowed the United States' two top rivals to force President Joe Biden into a two-front crisis that could spread his administration too thin to respond adequately to either.
And should a shooting war erupt, there's little guarantee the U.S. would come out on top.
"I don't think the United States is prepared to go to war in Ukraine. I don't think the United States is prepared to go to war over Taiwan," Lyle Goldstein, an expert on China and Russia who served for 20 years as a research professor at the Naval War College up until October and now holds the position of director of Asia engagement at the Defense Priorities think tank, told Newsweek.

WNU Editor: If Moscow and Beijing were actively working together against the U.S., we would be living in a very different world right now. The fact is that while Russia and China do cooperate on a number of foreign policy and national security issues, their focus is not to work together to force the U.S. into a two-front crisis that the Biden administration cannot win. That was the case during the height of the Cold War, and it is certainly the case right now.

Biden is an enfeebled fool.
US domestically is in disarray.
Why wouldn’t they work together? Divide and conquer is the oldest strategy.
This is paranoid nonsense. Russia isn't invading.
They're sending a message to forestall Ukraine adventurism egged on by US and NATO idiots.
Russia invading Ukraine and China invading Taiwan on the same day.. imagene that.
The Newsweek article is ridiculous. It features something called the "EMP Caucus on National and Homeland Security" lol.
If anyone starts in on the whole EMP threat know that they're a hack shilling for some sugar daddy defense contractor.
Newsweek has become a shell of its former self.
I'm not sure that Putin want to find himself alone vs China after a win against America.
Russia should go to the UN and quit its adventurism.
Best comment all day.
