Ukraine Russia WAR in FULL SWING - Ukraine Getting Weapons from Around the World
Tensions in the Taiwan Strait are escalating as China ramps up military exercises, including amphibious assault simulations and showcasing new amphibious tank boats. These developments heighten anxiety on both sides, as Taiwan holds its largest drills while China displays growing shipbuilding and landing capabilities, signaling preparation for potential conflict.European leaders, notably Mark Rutte and Ursula von der Leyen, are drawing connections between escalating threats in the Indo-Pacific and ongoing conflicts in Europe. Rutte warns that China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are forming a more cohesive bloc, with fears that Xi Jinping might coordinate with Putin to open simultaneous fronts in Taiwan and Europe. He also claims Russia could be capable of launching a full-scale NATO attack within 3–7 years.Western leaders accuse China of enabling Russia’s war economy through sanctions evasion and dual-use technology exports. Ursula von der Leyen argues that China’s support for Russia undermines global stability and threatens EU-China relations, demanding Beijing condemn Russia’s actions if it wants to remain in the “rules-based international order.”The speaker criticizes this rhetoric as dangerously provocative, noting that Western policies—especially NATO expansion—have pushed Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea into closer cooperation. He argues that prior to 2022, these countries were not closely aligned, but Western pressure and isolation drove them together. China, he claims, has remained relatively restrained, supplying parts to both sides but avoiding full military involvement. However, continued Western antagonism may force Beijing to reconsider.Ultimately, the speaker warns that global leadership may either be blind to the risks or actively seeking confrontation—whether to sustain the defense industry, recreate a Cold War-like dynamic, or maintain control over public opinion. Either way, he cautions, the growing entanglement of global conflicts is pushing the world toward dangerous instability, and a single misstep could trigger catastrophic consequences.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
