Before there would be any World War Three between America and China (which would result from America’s officially ending its 1972-initiated “One China Policy” that Taiwan is a part of China), America would first need to isolate Russia by getting China to break with Russia and to come out unequivocally condemning Russia’s “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine and thereby cementing the U.S. control over Ukraine that U.S. President Barack Obama’s Administration had won by his February 2014 successful coup against and taking over Ukraine’s government to turn it intensely hostile towards its neighbor Russia so that America will become able to place its missiles there. The U.S. Government does not want to face a situation in which it would need to conquer both Russia and China simultaneously. It intends to conquer Russia before it conquers China. However, if it decides that that won’t be possible (as now seems likely), then America will switch to taking on China first — and that would mean the U.S. would officially cancel its 1972 One China Policy and commit itself fully to Taiwan’s being a separate and ‘independent’ country that would be 100% dependent upon U.S. military backing — and, essentially, control. (Taiwan would then become far more dependent upon the U.S. than Taiwan ever has been dependent even upon China.) America needs to capture Taiwan in order to provoke China into a war, then win that war, then take up a war against Russia, in order to achieve its goal of becoming the entire world’s dictator. But, right now, America needs to split China away from Russia. The reason for this is that if America doesn’t split them apart, then America won’t be able to win either Russia OR China.
So: in war, timing is everything, and, in America’s diplomatic preparation for WW III, the plan is to defeat Russia first, and then China; but, if that turns out not to be possible, then America will switch to defeating China first, and then Russia. America is intensifying its plan, to provoke China into a war.
Here is how America’s current stage in its diplomatic preparations leading up to WW III now are proceeding:
On April 5th, the New York Times, which always reports from the standpoint of, and actually representing, the U.S. Government, headlined a wedge for the U.S. Government to use to pry China’s Government away from Russia: “China’s Ambassador to the E.U. Tries to Distance Beijing From Moscow: The ambassador, Fu Cong, said China was not on Russia’s side in the war in Ukraine. ‘No limit’ is nothing but rhetoric,’ he said, referring to a statement from last year about the countries’ relationship.” It reported that:
E.U. leaders are struggling to balance their deep trade ties with China against American pressure to toughen their policies, especially in light of China’s support for Russia since the war began. China tries to present itself as a mediator, insisting that it respects the territorial integrity of Ukraine while endorsing some of Moscow’s narrative about the war.
Here are a few highlights of the interview:
The ambassador downplayed Russia and China’s declaration of a “no limits” friendship last year. …
Mr. Fu said China was not on Russia’s side on the war and that some people “deliberately misinterpret this because there’s the so-called ‘no limit’ friendship or relationship.”
He added, “‘No limit’ is nothing but rhetoric.”
On April 6th, Russia’s RT News (which represents Russia’s Government) headlined “China disavows NYT claim about Russia relations”, and reported:
The US newspaper [NYT] said Beijing’s envoy downplayed the partnership and tried to distance his country from Moscow
… The Chinese mission to the EU told the Russian news agency TASS that the interview with the NYT was about an hour long and that the highlights printed by the paper failed to properly convey Fu’s words.
“The ambassador stated that some people deliberately misinterpret the Chinese position [on the crisis in Ukraine]. The things that China did and didn’t do since the start of the conflict are known in Europe and the rest of the world,” the news agency quoted the mission as saying on Thursday.

The diplomat’s office clarified that there was no sense in discussing the meaning of a “no-limits” friendship, and that the term did not imply that China was going to provide military assistance to Russia.
NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg has urged China to halt its “growing alignment” with Russia, warning that any military assistance from Beijing to Moscow during the conflict in Ukraine would be a “historic mistake” with major consequences.
Speaking after the conclusion of a NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, Stoltenberg sounded the alarm over Moscow’s friendly ties with the People’s Republic, insisting Beijing could soon offer weapons to Russia despite its repeated confirmation that it has no plans to do so.
“China refuses to condemn Russia’s aggression… And it props up Russia’s economy,” he claimed, adding “Allies have been clear that any provision of lethal aid by China to Russia would be a historic mistake, with profound implications.”
NATO is controlled by the U.S. Government; and, whenever any NATO member-nation has failed to join in to endorse a position that the U.S. Government requires, dissenting nation(s) has/have ultimately joined in to consent to it and the vote for it was unanimous. Moreover, on April 7th, the South China Morning Post bannered “Europe is ‘counting on China’ to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, leaders tell Xi Jinping in Beijing”, so that it’s not just NATO but the EU that’s threatening China on this. However, the Chinese Government’s official newspaper, Global Times, instead headlined “China-France-EU trilateral talks set right course for ties”, and continued to ignore The West’s demands to capitulate on Ukraine; it reported instead that China’s intention regarding the war in Ukraine is to serve as a “mediator” between The West and Russia on it. In other words: this was the Chinese way to tell The West no — without broadcasting to the public that it had done so.
Right now, America is, in effect, demanding China to go against Russia in Ukraine. If China consents to this, then China will effectively have lost its sovereignty, and America then will become enabled to do anything in Ukraine that it wants to do. Furthermore: America’s taking Taiwan from China then won’t be so important, because America will already have taken control over China. At that stage, there will start, in earnest, an all-out war by the U.S. against Russia. The U.S. ‘defense’ budget will skyrocket, and America will go onto a full-fledged war footing. The U.S. Congress is already preparing legislation to enable that to happen. Furthermore, Russia, for its part, issued on March 31st its major new statement of its guiding ideology, and emphasizes in it that it was arrived at in collaboration with both China and India, and also other nations of the global south.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
I don’t believe the Chinese leadership are ready to become subservient lackeys to the wef fm again as it cost them 100 years to gain enough military power to stand their ground. They absolutely must adopt the leadership style that enables soldiers at the battalion level and smaller, to be independent on the battlefield if communication goes down: essentially this type of training would enable them to become unbeatable on the battlefield. Reward leadership and Initiative and create the most effective military that cannot be overcome by any enemy.
China’s most powerful weapon is to monetize gold for international trade. If it does that the USA is over. They know that. They don’t need to resort to a military solution in Ukraine at all.
Russia and China will remain on the same path as a majority of the world are on their side. Furthermore, we are seeing more countries moving away from the U.S. grip including Japan and France. Both members of the G7 went against what the US wants with France buying gas from China in Yuan while Japan is buying oil from Russia for more that the G7 wanted.
The U.S. empire is falling apart and most in the world will be happy to see them becomming a third world country.
Cannot see
US are at war with Russia, using Ukraine to do the fighting, because they do not recognise that Crimea is back home with Russia, as well as Novorussia aka Eastern Ukraine. US does not accept the fact that Taiwan is still part of China. The irony of the US argument, with regards Russia, Ukraine, China and Taiwan.
In the meantime, President Maccron goes to China, on a State Visit, and takes Freeloader Ursula, who cannot get an audience with the Chinese, with him. How did that go down?
PART 2
Ursula greeted, when exiting the staff exit of her plane, by the economy minister and then left to her own devices. Xi was not impressed when she joined the meeting with him and Maccron. Then you have Maccron, who got the official State Visit courtesies, but, who was also reminded that China is not a nation to be patronised. He got the Airbus contract signed, but, how many years has that been in the making? Ursula got nought.
US $31 trillion in debt, and the world has turned away from the $US petro-dollar, so how do they believe they can afford wars with either China or Russia?
Very well said, AM.
The EU is being forced to live on diets of cabbages, etc, and the US has for decades been addicted to fast food and fentanyl.
fentanyl supplied by Chinese whilst they allowed Chinese students and immigrants and call them so-called model minorities. White peoples are fucking idiots.
Nobody seems to like Ursula the Shewolf because both Erdogan, Biden, Xi and Macron simply are afraid of women in power. They cant take women in power because its a man’s man’s world.
Zakharova dismissed Ursula too, because too many men in Russia loose attention on Russian women when Ursula arrive. Ursula simply takes all the spotlight.
The “spring offensive” by Ukraine will be the last big offensive. NATO is running out of resources in this high cost war. Will NATO deploy the USA army in Ukraine, as canonfodder? We will have to wait and see.
TomSawyer inherited a load of bullshit for brains from his dear mother, father was from unknown NATO guy.
Hahaha! Lol!
TomSawyer, NATO lost to a bunch of rural poppy growers on donkeys in Afghanistan.
Thank goodness that the USSA is stark raving mad and even as Slumville proper goes up in smoke with its drug addled, gender mutant livestock slaughtering each other, the demented old beast imagines that it is still a player in the global game. The world is laughing as the decrepit and debauched welfare warfare scum of the evil angloZionaZi empire of shit go down the Wall St sewer with its PonZi chosenite “economy”. Global slaughter on everyone else’s dime is over. Get the civil war reloaded in Slumville…we all got the popcorn.

The Ukro trolls are dead or on the battlefield dying. The Tom Sawyer group here is next in line.
Jens Holms should be sent to the front, with a Zelensky Poster and Ukraine Bandera Flag uniform. And we will bet on how much seconds he could survive.
USA can’t control China or Russia. Full stop.
The West’s biggest weakness is their assumption that everybody else are incompetent idiots, whereas the US and their allies consider themselves superheroes.
Biden ratrchets up the trade war his predecessor has started, he ships members of Congress to Taiwans to turn up the heat and increases weapons shipments in case the message wasn’t clear yet. At the same time, he sends his Navy to Chinas coast to launch an endless series of provokations.
To then ask China to drop its ally Russia and become friends with America?
Whereas China’s smartest move would be to support Russia just enough to draw out the war until the US and NATO run out of either arms or cash. This stopping NATO s great war on China before it even starts.
Márna snaha. Čína a RF sa už dali spoločne do pohybu. A tento vlak už nemožno zastaviť a ani spomaliť. BRICS je svetlou budúcnosťou!!! G7 je stará zatuchnutá a zahnívajúca organizácia!!! Nastupuje opäť zlatý štandard!!! Vytvára sa nový svetový poriadok, kde sa budú jednotlivé členské štáty musieť navzájom rešpektovať. Už žiadne platenie výpalného darebáckemu štátu USA!!!
The USA is also blackmailing the Netherlands, to maximize there support for the Ukraine. ASML is a big semiconductor providing firm, mainly lithography. The USA threatens the Netherlands to withdraw patents used for the production proces, they already managed to cut the deliverys to China.
Xi Jinping doesn’t give a rat’s ass what the yanquis and their joo masters want.
As an American, I recognize that the deadliest enemy of the U.S. is its own government which is dictated to by a satanically evil Jewish, neoCon Deep State. The U.S. needs to overthrow this parasitic, destructive regime and rejoin the world as a normal, benign power. Therefore any power that is hostile to the illegitimate ruling junta of the U.S. is an ally of true Americans. And therefore I am rooting for Russian to destroy Ukraine and NATO; for China to annex Taiwan and drive the Americans out of the Western Pacific completely; and for Europe to rise up and expel Americans from ALL of its territories (by force if necessary).
Fat chance of that ever happening…
