Russia has asked China for military equipment after running out of weapons during its sluggish invasion of Ukraine, US officials have claimed. Details on what types of weaponry were requested, and whether China has moved to supply Vladimir Putin's government have yet to emerge - but the request has sparked extreme concern among western governments. On Sunday night, the US was said to be preparing to warn its allies, amid some indications that China may be preparing to help Russia out, the Financial Times reported.

The arms dealers and the large-scale infrastructure rebuilders want us dragged into this one way or another. The population control crowd is on board too, seeing how the coronavirus didn't kill anywhere near as many people as they'd hoped.

This was predicted a couple of weeks ago and pooh-poohed by commentors. Russia has not been able to afford to build up big stocks of weapons. For example, estimates were that they only had about 300 total cruise missiles on their ships, and few in warehouses. I expected that this was likely to be true.

If we engage in Eurasia, China will likely move on Taiwan and dare the US to fight on two fronts simultaneously. The Iranians will move on Iraq and or Israel opening three fronts. The US military is woke and will go broke ASAP!

If Russia runs out of conventional capability, the only thing left is manpower on the ground or nukes to save face. Be interesting to see how this China rumor plays out.

They've got plenty of nukes, just so long as they have sufficient matches to light the fuses.

Russia isn’t running out of weapons. Its been stockpiling for decades, not fighting wars like Iraq and Afghanistan, churning through trillions of dollars and enormous amounts of equipment and weapons. This is an infantry , artillery, missile and armored vehicle war and Russia has ample resources to conduct a long term ground game. The Ukrainians have the advantage in high tech defensive infantry, but not against ground troops, missiles or long range artillery. Russia needs trade with China and political support not weapons. Notice that the Russian Air Force is largely absent. It’s not needed and plays into the “no fly zone”. The Russians underestimated the amount of weapons we have pumping into Ukraine, but unfortunately it reaffirms how dangerous NATO would be on their border to its leadership.

So, if China does send weapons I guess it will be OK for any country to send weapons to Ukraine, including us? Isn't that how it works? The next step will be sending troops and things will go from horrible to unspeakable. Thanks, Joe Biden for your corrupt and incompetent administration.

And just a few weeks ago some were (still are) portraying the Russians as a first-rate military that would dominate Europe, if not the world if unleashed. The Russians are a land "power" that historically has never been able to project power much beyond its borders. We're seeing that again. Yes, they have missiles and nukes...weapons of desperation. Ukraine isn't going to roll to Moscow. And one hopes NATO will allow this war to burn itself out, either way. That body has already shown its rear end to the world.

With the implosion of the media’s pre-presidential election fake narratives about the infamous Hunter Biden laptop emails becoming officially official with the New York Times’ “confirming” of the New York Post’s original reporting on the subject, the calls for media reckonings have understandably commenced apace. As you’ll recall, the Post’s pieces on the emails raised major questions about the possibility of influence peddling from the Biden family, in particular with Joe Biden, who was the Democratic nominee for president, and his son Hunter. The official word from the MSM at the time centered around a fake “Russian disinformation” narrative sparked by a Politico report, allegedly sourced by “dozens of former

As Special Counsel John Durham continues to expose more details of the “SpyGate” or “Russia collusion” scandal, it can be difficult for any apolitical, non-news-junkie member of the public to grasp the ongoing developments.After all, for more than five years, the corrupt legacy media has refused to report on scandal or done so with a slanted portrayal of the facts. So most Americans remain unaware of the Democrats’ years-long duplicity that sought to destroy first candidate and then President Donald Trump.

This one is just painful and embarrassing. We’ve long known AOC was devoid of meaningful ideas and played up hackneyed talking points. Trump Bad! Capitalism Evil! Workers Good! (Oops, except truckers and people that don’t want their boss telling them to get a vaccine…but workers…yeah, the workers!).Baseline idiocy aside, however, she enters a new realm of generic vacuousness in her latest Instagram post. Perhaps the most frightening realization is not AOC’s own stupidity, but the collective stupidity of anyone that actively follows her and agrees with what she’s saying.

Everlasting, undying, soul-rending shame be upon you, Facebook and Twitter and Politico and all the others who covered up, denied and suppressed this newspaper’s true and accurate reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020. You should be hurling yourselves at the feet of the American people, begging forgiveness.

The IEA 10-point plan to drive “changes in the behaviour of consumers” and reduce gas demand at the pump includes reducing speed limits, working from home three days a week, more electric cars, car-free Sundays, more cycle lanes, cheaper public transport and greater use of long-distance trains over planes.

Food prices are already skyrocketing. Some — a lot — of this comes from inflation caused by runaway government spending over the past two years. Some is from supply-chain issues. But a new problem is rearing its head, and government officials seem as likely to make it worse as to make it better. That problem is shortages of food and fertilizer brought about by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions enacted by the West in response. Ukraine is a major wheat producer, but war is likely to ensure a poor spring planting and harvest. Russia is also a major grower, but sanctions and war will prevent it from exporting to most

One -- Reassuring an enemy what one will not do ensures that the enemy will do just that and more. Unpredictability and occasional enigmatic silence bolster deterrence. But President Joe Biden's predictable reassurance to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will show restraint means Putin likely will not. Two -- No-fly zones don't work in a big-power, symmetrical standoff. In a cost-benefit analysis, they are not worth the risk of shooting down the planes of a nuclear power. They usually do little to stop planes outside of such zones shooting missiles into them. Sending long-range, high-altitude anti-aircraft batteries to Ukraine to deny Russian air superiority is a far better way
