Pentagon Issues Threat To China That There Will Be Consequences If They Deepen Their Ties With Russia

 

Reuters: The Pentagon’s Vague Threat to China Over Arming Russia 

China is employing a well-trod tactic to try to outmaneuver the U.S. as it appears more ready than ever to start helping Russia gain new ground in Ukraine with weapons shipments. 

The Pentagon on Wednesday pledged “consequences” for Beijing if it heeds Moscow’s desperate pleas for arms and ammunition but yet again stopped short of detailing how it would follow through on the stern but vague threat. 

 Spokeswoman Sabrina Singh delivered the cagey response during a press conference in which she demurred despite repeated requests for specifics.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. When the Pentagon, the military branch of the US government, issues a threat that there will be consequences if China deepens their ties with Russia, it is not going to be well received in Beijing. 

As of this posting there has been no response from China. I think they are reacting the same way that I reacted when a reader gave me a heads-up last night that this threat was made. I did not believe it. But as the above video shows, the threat that there will be consequences (military I presumed) was made, and there has been no drawback or clarification from the Pentagon, US State Department, or the White House.

Idiots, maybe to make up for this they need to send Pelosi back for another visit to Taiwan

Yeah but Russia is the bully, right folks? Maybe not tact nukes in Ukraine if US and Polish forces enter, but a formal invitation by Putin to NOKO and China to join the fight. Nkorea already offered 120,000 troops and equipment, I’m sure China would love to participate as well. Plenty of levels of escalation left that look more and more likely to come to fruition every time we yanks open our big mouths.

You are right in this respect.

This conversation could have been done in back channels. Instead they antagonize the chinese in public.

You got to Ask yourself...Why?

My concern , some idiot really wants a war real bad.

^^ LOTS of idiots want a war real bad, most of them globalists, loyalists to the current order who want to keep it intact, even as there are multiple signs that it's beginning to come apart. I can somewhat understand their concern, since whatever else Bretten Woods has been, it's also seen the world through 80 years of *relative* peace and prosperity. But along the way it was hijacked by nefarious people who have ulterior motives and agendas, people who reject nationalism in favor of global government. They can't even take care of their own countries and now want to rule the world? They see war as a necessary step to achieving that by causing global turmoil that can only be 'remedied" by global government

Warmongering Russians want the piece of Romania they chewed off in 1939, when they swappped spit and signed a treaty with their socialist brethren in Germany.

I say that the Ukies give back Galicia back to the Poles that the Soviets took away from Poland in 39.
So there!!
