US President Biden Says China-Russia Partnership Is 'Vastly Exaggerated'

 

FOX News: Biden says China-Russia partnership is 'vastly exaggerated' during Canada visit 

President Biden's comments come after Russian President Vladimir Putin's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week 

President Biden had a tense exchange with a reporter when asked about Russia and China's economic relationship, arguing that their partnership is "vastly exaggerate[d]." 

Biden held a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa on Friday. A reporter asked Biden what he thought the significance of the Russia-China alliance was. 

"In ten years, Russia and China have had 40 meetings, 40 meetings," Biden began. "And I disagree with the basic premise of your question."

WNU Editor: President Biden has a reputation in Washington of always being wrong on major foreign policy issues (link here). He is definitely wrong on this one.

President Biden is not wrong. He knows the score on this or I think he does. It is a case

<"I know what it is, but I will tell the public it isn't"

Kind of like the saying:

"Do as I say, not as I do."

The reason is obvious and quite clear. It is a puff of wind under his approval rating keeping it up there or at the very least retarding their fall. He can know that it is a lie, but feel totally comfortable lying, since he has done it before and is used to it and it save his skin for the moment.

It makes more sense to pipe oil and gas to China than to Europe, the distance is shorter. Why wasn't it done before? It is an artifact of history. The first pipelines were build to Russian's heartland. It makes sense. It is what sane countries do unless they are Green religionists and care canceling pipeline like Keystone XL or Line 5 in Michigan. After this pipeline were build it is easier or the same distance to build them onto Europe and at the time Europe had the money and China didn't.

To change is probably a bigger investment than maintaining the European pipelines. But the European price cap and other factors gave the Russians impetus to get it over the hump to change.

The oil and gas may not be coming back to Europe regardless, if the Russians are agnostic on the subject. It is simple human nature. The contracts are cut. The pipelines are or soon will be built and change after that will be a bother if nothing else. Inertia does have its place.

Grandstanding will cost you. It is good for electioneering, but not so good for international politics. But if you sniff you own farts and think they are fragrant, you start believing your own grandstanding.

" Joe Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy decision in the last 40 years" Secretary Gates.

Osama Bin Laden would probably still be alive if Obama had listened to Idiot Biden. He said no when asked if the SEALs should go in.

You know he is out of it just by saying this about the USSR aka Russia) and Chinas relationship.

Joe is wrong again. Feeding Russia to China does have consequences:

Is Biden wrong on major assistance to Ukraine to fight against Putin?
or, alternatively, do you believe Trump would have favored Ukraine over Russia?

Biden was not the president at that time and Biden worried about civilian deaths. Bush did NOT take him out and he was president when OBL spotted.

Biden is wrong on Ukraine.

Trump unknown what he would have done.
But I think he would have done something in Dec of 2021 when the Russians warned the West and the West did nothing

Biden could be sending major assistance, but he is slow walling it.

It is a known fact that when you send reinforcements in penny packets or piecemeal, you can be defeated.

So I believe that Biden very well could be a Manchurian candidate.

3:29 is confusing George Bush with Bill Clinton.

The only chance that Bush missed was at Tora Bora and that is because the military or someone decided to use the Afghan allies as a blocking force and not US troops. there was no hesitation to pull there trigger by GWB. There was a reliance on using local allies for postwar political purposes.

The US had done very well before then using local allies, Green Berets and the USAF.

Did you like Bill Clinton's $500,000 speech in Moscow?


What a payoff for the Uranium deal!

blah blah blah
ok. you support Trump. But it is Biden and not Trump who is fully supporting Ukraine. Now that is a fact. And mini Trump Desantis, before finding out his statement was scorned said we should stop wasting our money and time with Ukraine. Like Trump. What has Trump said about the Russian invasion of Ukraine thus far?

Who knows. But he is smart enough to realize we have no strategic interests there and it is a financial black hole that you throw money into.

Biden is not fully supporting Ukraine. Biden's support is like a bank loaning a business 1,00 dollars after it files bankruptcy and n longer can use the loan.

The US is now sending M1 tanks, They are due to get to Ukraine in late summer of or early fall. The idea of Ukraine has been kicked around for for 2 r 3 months now. that is enough lag time for 3 Operations Uranuses or Bagrations by Russia


It only take a week to get across the Atlantic. Add another week to get through the North Sea and Baltic. Add a week to put the M1's on a on rail cars in the US and Europe. Round it up to 4 weeks total travel time.

Then you can add 1 or 2 weeks time for crews to get acquainted with the tanks and load them out.

By the time Joe's handlers talked about it and Joe ruminated and mumbled something it could have been done. The tanks could be there now.

So yes Joe is dragging his feet and that is as good as sending nothing. It is better in fact, because it lets Joe escape scrutiny.

The US is already in a financial black hole. One more does not matter. 1x0x0 = 1x0 =0. You should understand what money is. You have no clear concept of money.

10165/10:28 thank you for you double posts. Nothing gets a a tr*ll's point across like repetition and half truths. You'll get the Order of Lenin for this.

Mr fair and Balanced.

I told you before. I prefer the Hero of the Soviet union, if you don't mind.

And BTW you have not answered the questions yet. Do you need me to repost them for You? Or are you too busy at that tranny bar in Kiev with those other ukies soldiers.

Gee mr 759. I guess those 30 tanks and 60 IFVs are going to make a big difference at the front. If you can get them to the front in one piece. oh that's right, that front is over 1000 km in length. Not much for such a huge area.
Keep dreaming, like the ukie government said in Nov of 2022. You be in Crimea by Christmas 2022🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😠☠😲😲🤣🤣🤣🤣
