China Surrounds Taiwan with Aircraft and Naval Ships in Response to President’s U.S. Visit
China spent the weekend trying to intimidate Taiwan:
China sent warships and dozens of fighter jets toward Taiwan on Saturday, the Taiwanese government said, in retaliation for a meeting between the U.S. House of Representatives speaker and the president of the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing as part of its territory.
The Chinese military announced the start of three-day “combat readiness patrols” as a warning to Taiwanese who want to make the island’s de facto independence permanent. The People’s Liberation Army gave no indication whether they might include a repeat of previous exercises with missiles fired into the sea, which disrupted shipping and airline flights.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy held talks with President Tsai Ing-wen on Thursday in California, adding to a series of foreign lawmakers who have met Tsai to show support in the face of Chinese intimidation. Beijing responded Friday by imposing a travel ban and financial sanctions against American groups and individuals associated with Tsai’s U.S. visit.
On Saturday, eight warships and 42 planes were detected near Taiwan, 29 of which flew across the middle line of the strait that separates it from the mainland, the island’s Ministry of Defense said. It said they included Chengdu J-10, Shenyang J-11 and Shenyang J-16 jet fighters.

I wonder if Winnie really needs that much war pr0n or if he just can’t get enough Chinese Viagra?
Europe says they don’t want to become America’s “vassal states”, and wants closer ties with China, as European leaders like the French president visit China.

And who would blame them to look after their own national interests, especially after how the US backstabbed the French (remember the nuke sub-deal that the US made with Australia, under the nose of the French who already had a sub-deal with Australia?). Europe First is the new slogan, and why not, if America can have its own America First policies? France and Japan also started to trade the Yuan for Middle East energy, instead of the US dollar.
Korea Man, you are so cute when you are idealistic.
Europe has already sold out to America (which has sold out to the transnational globalists – another story).
Europe has demilitarized by throwing their hardware into the Ukranian garbage disposal. Europe has deenergized by boycotting Russian gas and shutting down nuclear energy and buying overpriced American gas. Europe is deindustializing as energy, labor costs, and unrealistic social policy, force business to relocate to America (not to mention the cabals that run multinationals are very aware the next world war could cut off European supply chains and might be fought in Europe itself).
Europe may make a show of poking around with better relations with China.
America will not let that happen.
It is perfectly acceptable to hate America but don’t lie to yourself about what America can and will do.
If America looks like it will lose, it will take everyone with it… having the idea that it is more resiliant and can rebound faster and stronger.
America is probably right about that.
Ah yes… “Mutually Assured Destruction”.
Been there. Done that. Got the mugs and coins.
Europe has deenergized by boycotting Russian gas and shutting down nuclear energy and buying overpriced American gas.
Ah yes, proof that the Setnaffarians are pro-Putin Russiabots.
Soooo… I report why the Eurotrash is even more self-destructive than American libtards…
…and your insightful conclusion is…
I am a pro-Putan Russiabot.
I’m guessing your dayjob isn’t intel analyst.
It is amusing to see Setnaffarians/Trumpians fall over themselves in a vain attempt to show that they are not pro-Putin and Russia after making statements and doing things that are supportive of Putin and Russia.
But… but… I am supportive of Putin and Russia.
Unlike China, Russia isn’t really at cross purposes with America.
And Russia (although highly flawed in so many ways) has zero tolerance for all the crazy woke shìt that is destroying the America I am loyal to.
That alone is almost worth the price of admission.
To western propaganda, Putin is a Bond villain. To the third world, he is a typical strongman. To Russians, he is just comfortable.
What’s there not to like?
Guess what the lefty-greentard German government is going to do this coming Sunday.
Come on… take a guess.
Hug some trees? Noooooo.
Gender-reassign themselves? Sadly, nooooo.
Shut down all remaining nuclear power plants and become even more reliant on Russian gas they buy through other countries at a higher price to pretend they are boycotting Russian gas?
We have a winner!
…though they will probably keep buying French electricty generated by their nuclear power plants just upwind over the border.
They used to get some electricty from Ukraine… but they are kind of out of the electricity export business these days.
Australia switched from France for subs because they believed France would back out of it and ask China for a peace deal in the event of a conflict.
Xi Dada has played that putz Putin.
Decrees or “Laws” announced by the Kremlin this morning. They pertain to military conscription and what will be done to Russian citizens who refuse to comply.
Amendments to the law on military duty and military service
What awaits citizens:
Citizens subject to conscription for military service (before that, the wording in the law was “citizens who are not in reserve”) receive summonses in writing, but they are also duplicated in electronic form. Summons may be sent by registered mail and are considered delivered on the day the registered mail is delivered to citizens. An electronic summons is considered to be served from the moment it is posted in the citizen’s personal account on the State Services.
After receiving the summons, the citizen must confirm receipt of the summons personally by coming to the military registration and enlistment office or through the State Services.
Citizens who are subject to conscription and who have received summons are prohibited from leaving Russia as a temporary measure from the day when the summons is considered to have been served. Information about this is entered into the Military Registration Register, and a notice is sent to the citizen in his personal account at the State Services, in the department of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Failure of a citizen to appear without a valid reason on a subpoena within 20 days entails the application of other temporary measures: a ban on registration as individual entrepreneurs, a ban on registration as a self-employed person, suspension of real estate transactions, a restriction on driving vehicles and a ban on registering a vehicle, refusal to issuance of credits and loans. The decision to take such measures is signed by the military commissar’s electronic signature and sent to the citizen’s personal account at the State Services and to state bodies. The decision to cancel these measures is made within 24 hours after the appearance of the citizen on the agenda or confirmation of good reasons for non-appearance.
The state authorities of the constituent entities may establish additional temporary bans, in particular, limit payments, benefits, support measures. The decision to apply provisional measures may be appealed.
It is possible to appeal against decisions made under the law on military registration in pre-trial order in the draft commission, including in electronic form. “The complaint should not contain obscene or offensive language, threats to life, health and property of officials of the military commissariat, the draft commission, the commission for placing citizens on military registration or members of their families,” the law emphasizes.
A citizen may be denied consideration of a complaint, for example, if it contains insults or is sent again
Stephen has seen, but not understood, that this is a step in a preparation for a more global war.
It will involve nations that will be late to the pre-party in both rediness and production.
Russa is openly developing manpower, securing supply chains, purchasing global surpluses, and ramping up production capabilities.
America can’t recruit becasue the type of men attracted to military endeavors don’t want queers and trannies to be as big of part of their lives as guns and bombs and the training necessary to stay alive.
Of course, America shouldn’t be discounted. All that insanity will be dropped very soon after the first carrier is lost with most hands and all jets.
“… the type of men attracted to military endeavors don’t want queers and trannies to be as big of part of their lives”
Hmm.
That explains all the Russian conscripts on R&R in Bangkok’s Cowboy Street?
Ha!
I bet you have fapped to unthinkable horrors in pr0n that you would never consider in real life.
Compartmentalization is the key.
Sitting in tranny appreciation class during Black History Month is not attractive to guys wanting to learn how to best firebomb a machinegun nest.
Russians seem to be aware that the military is for military things and Cowboy Street is for putting some twinky little ladyboy in a chokehold and treating her àss like Stalingrad.
When the military lets you two-hole a tranny for 50 bucks instead of tip-toeing around them as you live in fear for your career, let’s talk again.
Until then, work and pleasure should be kept separate.
That’s never going to happen.
