Just as this publication predicted, Beijing and Moscow are working in unison to humiliate Joe Biden and the US over Ukraine and Taiwan. It recalls the Nazi Soviet Pact of 1939.

Chinese Communist jets are harassing Taiwan, as Russian and Belarussian troops and jets set the stage for the invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US has ordered US diplomatic families out of Ukraine. This Chinese move makes the US face two crises without the resources or the leadership to command the situation in either.

The Chinese move could be a saber rattling planned distraction in coordination with Russia or the Chinese may move on Taiwan simultaneously with a Russian move on Ukraine. This would be reminiscent of the Soviets and Nazis dividing up Poland in 1939.

DC defense sources say the Russians may he playing a dangerous bluff, taking the possibility of war right up to the brink in order to gain Russian severe demands from a scared and divided Europe and America. Tactical analysts forsee a scenario perhaps not unlike the Winter War, Russia versus Finland, of 1939. That would entail an initially successful defense by the Ukrainians, followed by an overwhelming Russian onslaught that would result in a brutal Russian victory.

This publication foresaw this as early as late 2020, because we knew the Russians and Chinese would see the weakness inherent in a Biden administration as a window of opportunity. Beijing knows it has fans in the Biden administration who would do anything to damage American national security. Their influence combined with Joe Biden’s weakness and incompetence have resulted in the current strategic advantage enjoyed by our adversaries.

A total of 39 Chinese PLA aircrafts entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone on Sunday, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense said.

Most of the planes were J-10 and J-16 fighter jets, it added. https://t.co/knFHnyB5s5

FNC: “China launched 39 aircraft, mostly fighter jets, near Taiwan Sunday — the largest show of force in months.

The launch came the same day the U.S. Navy sailed two aircraft carriers along with a pair of amphibious assault ships alongside allies in the Philippine Sea. Taiwan issued radio warnings and sent combat air patrol to deter the Chinese aircraft, while air defense missile systems were deployed to monitor them, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said in the statement issued late on Sunday…

The State Department has ordered families of U.S. Embassy personnel in Ukraine to begin evacuating the country as soon as Monday, U.S. officials tell Fox News. Next week, the State Department is also expected to encourage Americans to begin leaving Ukraine by commercial flights, ‘while those are still available,’ one official said.

Advanced Russian fighter jets have now arrived in Belarus, north of Ukraine.  The Pentagon is concerned that Ukraine’s capital is ‘now in the crosshairs,’ another official added.

The West has rejected Moscow’s main demands – promises from NATO that Ukraine will never be added as a member, that no alliance weapons will be deployed near Russian borders, and that it will pull back its forces from Central and Eastern Europe.”
