    Wrong thread surely? Anyway Biden change it back in a couple of weeks.

    No he wont. This was most likely done in coordination with the Dems. Pompeo consults with Hillary all the time.

    Are you going senile? So Biden wasn't in the Obama admin when Obama initiated the Asian pivot, a military provocation against PRC? Or the TPP, and economic provocation against them? What about all the Biden aligned think-tanks that encourage Biden to get tough on China? Your really going to die on this hill believing that Biden is a Chinese agent?

    The problem is that the Republicans are not very smart.

    The democraps were able to force Trump to reverse his stated policy of good relations with Russia by goading him into proving he was not putins tool... putins puppet...

    Essentially they got him to do the opposite of what he wanted to do, what he stated he wanted to do and to do exactly what they were going to try to do if they got into power.

    The result was Trump was an orange hillary but more willing to build walls and tear up agreements with everyone.

    The real question will be can the republicans goad Biden into going hardline against China...

    The irony is that Russia has a growing stable economy but it is no threat to the west in terms of economics.

    In terms of military power Russia is and remains the biggest threat to the west and if Russia acted like the west does then the west would certainly be in trouble... but Russia acts with respect and integrity and mainly in self defence so really only a threat to a country wanting to invade Russia or break her up... so obviously the west is afraid because that is exactly what they want.

    China on the other hand is more of a production superpower and a real economic threat to the west, though still rather weak in military terms... but threats of interference from the west is making them look to become more independent and resilient and part of that is boosting military spending in various areas.

    The potential bifurcation between the US and China is good for Russia. This isn't huge but Comac is officially in the crosshairs which is good to see. The 919 is a western aircraft with a fuselage made in China. Let sanctions be upon it. Smile

    Trump administration adds China's Comac, Xiaomi to Chinese military blacklist

    Jan 14, 2021 •


    WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Thursday added nine Chinese firms to a blacklist of alleged Chinese military companies, including planemaker Comac and mobile phone maker Xiaomi, according to a document seen by Reuters.

    The companies will be subject to a new U.S. investment ban which forces American investors to divest their holdings of the blacklisted firms by Nov. 11, 2021.

    The Chinese Embassy in Washington, Xiaomi and Comac did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    The expanding blacklist is part of a bid by President Donald Trump to cement his tough-on-China legacy in the waning days of his presidency.

    It was mandated by a 1999 law requiring the Defense Department to compile a catalog of companies owned or controlled by the Chinese military. The Pentagon, which only began complying this year, has so far added 35 companies, including oil giant CNOOC and China’s top chipmaker SMIC.

    In November, Trump sought to give the law teeth by signing an executive order banning U.S. investment of the blacklisted firms. (Writing and additional reporting by Alexandra Alper Editing by Chizu Nomiyama and Alistair Bell)

    Trump has spent his term forcing Europe and the US to push Russia away and to an extent China too... Russia got the message... but China is too invested in the west to just give up that easily... which is not to say they wont turn their back on the west completely... certainly they have invested enormous energy and money and time to new trade routes to get their goods to Europe and vice versa...

    If they keep printing money the way they are... who is going to keep accepting it as a real currency?

    China is a tyranny and a big threat in the pacific region. Australia learned this quite recently and it is good to see Australia acting against China now. France is a nuclear power and we have enormous areas in the pacific, Polynesia, New Caledonia are our spearhead in the region and provide Australia with a direct nuclear umbrella.

    How England and Japan are going to contain China

    Both r US allies, but I wonder if the JMSDF will ever send its ships, incl. carriers, to the N. Atlantic.

    Caspian Reports mostly go into the Western Propaganda Thread.
    As for opinions, things look ok until the 7:10 mark, then it all go's down hill, typical of Western "experts" they put far too much importance on sheer military spending, as if money was the Holy Grail.

    Then there the nonsense about reverse engineering to military Subordination?, which is total garbage.

    The demographic situation is the only thing that holds some weight of concern, if it's as bad as they say, we need more info on this.

    And the China seizing the Russian east, that scenario would end so badly for China that it would be beyond ridiculous.

    Everything go's off a cliff after 11:00 mark, which reveals Caspian's true intent.
    And go's full retard after the Arctic is brought up.

    These shmexperts do not understand that PPP is required for any fair comparison. Bloated MIC prices are not universal physical
    constants. America's huge military budget reflects internal rot and basically nothing else. Russia is clearly fielding a military and
    military tech that can neutralize any US attack on Russia.

    All the chest thumping drivel from these morons and somehow the total absence of hypersonic weapons in the US arsenal is a
    non issue. They don't even have supersonic anti-ship missiles and are still riding 1970s ICBMs with zero innovation in anti-ABM
    aspects.

    America is really the poster child for "if your only tool is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail". It is so used to its
    colonial enforcement racket that it thinks every country is a 3rd world pushover.

    On the topic of American ICBMs status, i am reminded this video.
    Its not just the Missiles, but the surrounding equipment to launch and support the missile also date back to the 70s.

    Meanwhile billions of dollars are spent on these missiles as if the equipment and the missiles are all being routinely
    improved and renewed.   This is pure corruption and the riding of the "Soviet legacy" (i.e. using ancient equipment
    built in a better time) American style.  

    The thing is that if you don't spend any money on such things in the span of 50 years, then all the professionals
    that built them are long gone.   You can't just put out an ad in the paper and get replacements.   A lot of these
    high tech, specialized jobs need unique on the job training to pass the skills and knowledge which is never documented.
    But the rotten deciders in high office pretend that every job is a burger flipping job and the "market will provide".

    The next five years they have to negotiate a replacement for New START and they might end up realising China wont join and the UK and France wont join because China doesn't want to and Russia can't and wont make them, and UK and France wont join either and all their new hypersonic ABM evading weapons means Russia will feel just fine about the US leaving the treaty eventually because they will feel no matter what the US does they will have MAD without having to spend enormous money.

    In fact with Breeder reactors they can rapidly build up a nuclear warhead arsenal anyway... most like IRBM and IRCM weapons to deal with UK and France.

    The US Japan relationship is not going to remain the same.

    As the US gets weaker and more desperate Japan is going to become more assertive... and Australia and South Korea are not going to like that much.

    I rather suspect the US thinks they can trick Taiwan into starting a war with China which they can sit back and allow Japan and South Korea and Australia to fight against China... trying to pretend not to get involved.... it is just more of the same from the US... Ukraine and Georgia and Belarus for Russia and Pakistan and China for India and Taiwan and India for China...
