A reader brought up what I think are missed opportunities and unintended consequences of our sanctions on Russia and their current linkage to China...

 Dude posted this on the blog so I feel free to post it for everyone to see instead of it being buried.  I think he brought up some very valid points about the current linkage between Russia and China.

Quite honestly I think the Biden Admin in their arrogance and lack of forethought set the stage for the lineups in the next major war.

via my reader.

Its in China's interest to give the Russians the upper hand, how much of an upper hand is debatable, I think they hope the Russians achieve total victory (as the latest US rant about Chinese providing satellite intel shows).

Most of the blame lies on western leadership. Prior to the war Russia was economically linked to the west, Russians generally liked the west due to common history, also Russia was strategically positioned to choke Chinese access to central asia, has a shitload of resources, has a lot of street cred with nations like India and Vietnam, and has even if kind of shitty, a large pacific fleet with some decent boomers. As Mearsheimer always argued, it was a primordial concern for the west, mainly the US, to bury the hatchet with the Ruskies and work to contain China. It was a very doable endeavour.

Now, 2024, Russian economy is very much linked to China (with nowhere to run), Russians are quite likely very resentful of us westerners (would love some S300V 4 update about it) due to all the moronic hate across europe in early 2022, plus a lot Russian libs fled Russia around that time. Russia still has a shitload of resources which they can sell via land routes to China, land routes we cant interdict, they still have a lot of street cred which will be used against us, and they still have a large fleet with some decent boomers that will either remain neutral or join the chinks. As I always say, I hope the mighty latvian and polish fleets decide to save the day because the campaign difficulty went from moderate to ultra hard.

"Ukraine needs 25 Patriot air defense systems and has informed all its Western partners about it"

Is this how rich parents with a crack head son that's been bought into college feel? Every two weeks that crack head son is calling making new demands and you're wondering if he's even utilizing all that you've sent properly? Notice I said rich parents. A middle income or poor parent would have cut the little bastard off long ago.

Finally Universities are dealing with these puppets, otherwise known as "peaceful" protesters. Vanderbilt kicks one out....we need more of this...

First step to getting America back on track? Reinstitute the rule of law across the board. It shouldn't apply to only certain groups but to all! No more "causes" where lawless is tolerated. We go full tilt boogey back to as much of a "trust" society as we can. The first step. Regain order on the streets. Actions have consequences and those consequences should be severe where warranted.

And now begins the year of fear in the US. Intel Agencies are warning of ISIS or lone wolf attacks ahead of eclipse viewing. YOU FUCKS LET THEM IN SO EAT SHIT ON YOUR WARNINGS!

These bastards created a new terror threat on a daily basis for millions of Americans living in cities and soon in the countryside. You let in MILLIONS of criminals and what the fuck did you son of a bitches expect. EAT SHIT ON YOUR WARNINGS. I'VE BEEN ON ALERT SINCE YOU STARTED THIS CLUSTERFUCK AT THE BORDER (can't convince some friends and loved ones but I think you've got that covered as we head to the election...can't wait to see how you cleanse the Biden admin of culpability though)!

ProTip. Never touch unusual objects in unusual places!

Is this real? Did someone actual rig up a doorbell in the forest and someone was actually silly enough to press it? Tell me this is a gag!

Our Gov, Jeff Landry made a mountain out of NOTHING! He has MUCH MORE IMPORTANT shit to worry about than when LSU comes on the field

I voted for this son of a bitch but he missed the mark bad on this one. I don't know what fucking mob he was playing to, but to come after the LSU Women's Basketball Team and now LSU Football is an idiot move. We got crime. We got unemployed. We got a failing education system. We got bad infrastructure. AND THIS BASTARD FOCUSES ON IF THEY"RE ON THE FIELD FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM? Kick rocks bitch and get to work on the shit I voted for you to fix.

New Russian anti-drone tech....

I want a couple. The distance is kinda short so they need to get those numbers up. Need a few for home defense.

I've heard about thermobaric bombs but now the Russians are rolling out Volumetric detonating bombs????

I'm just sitting here marveling and sending up hopes that Americans are never called to fight on a modern battlefield against a peer foe. Now we're gonna deal with volumetic detonating bombs? Someday all this exotic shit is gonna be mainstream and the hurt is gonna be legion. I'm just waiting for lasers and electrons to be turned on human flesh to see the kill potential there. Frying alive once only involved flames. Now you're gonna be microwaved and stir fried riding in your IFV to the battle. Shit is gonna suck in the future.

Blogger (GCAPTAIN) blames the WEST POINT MAFIA for gutting our naval capabilities...

China smacks down Britain as a rival and/or competitor

Thankfully for the British he didn't even touch on military power. The Brits are gonna have a come to Jesus when it comes to their role/standing on the world stage.

Reese got injured, UCONN got a ghost call....S. Carolina better beat that Iowa ASS!

I AM SO TIRED OF THIS CLARK HERO WORSHIP! I hope S. Carolina smash that ass! Be gone gibblet.

The Ukrainians are building a modern day Maginot Line???

New batch J20A Mighty Dragons

This looks like the smoothest, flatest firing AK I've ever seen...and I HATE AK's...

Ya'll are paying high prices, know its bad for your health but still scoffing it down???? CLOWNS!!!

Stop being a clown. Buy some fucking beef. Cook it. Put it between a pair of buns (store bought not your girl's...yeah I joke....FUCK SHARIA LAW) add condiments and get some real food.

To the soldiers of both Russia and Ukraine. SHUT YOUR FUCKING HATCHES! This shit is past old....save your own lives...do a lessons learned to your forces...

A little sweat is worth it to save your own damn lives. Open up at nite (if you turn off interior lights, but button up during the day) if you must but only then.

Christians need to grow some balls. Do this in a mosque and it would be war but they can take over a church with no pushback??? FUCK THAT SHIT! MAN THE FUCK UP!

THIS IS SOME PATHETIC WEAK ASS SHIT! REMEMBER THE FIGHT THEM OVER THERE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM HERE? IT'S TIME TO FIGHT! REMEMBER THE SELL YOUR CLOAK AND BUY A SWORD??? THIS IS THE SHIT!!!! THIS IS THE MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!!! MAN THE FUCK UP AND REPULSE THE BOARDERS!!!!

I am convinced that this should be a new olympic event....

Oh and for any Islamist on the blog attempting to enforce Sharia Law here? FUCK YOU!!!
