China-Russia the New Empire

 

If there is anyone out there who is not aware of recent political, social and military developments in China and Russia then maybe they're eating their breakfast on another planet. Because this year in particular - 2021 - both these authoritarian countries have been ratcheting up tensions in their regions. With China, it is the perpetual tensions-creating posturing with Taiwan. I have lost count of the number of times Chinese military aircraft have penetrated Taiwan airspace this year. This is perpetuated by the constant bluster from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its leader, the tyrant that is Xi Jinping. He has made it perfectly clear that Taiwan belongs to China and will retake it sooner or later. I have in an earlier post covered Jinping's obnoxious hatred towards the Uighur communities in Xinjiang Province and the genocide of the Uighur peoples. And of course, the domination of the South China Seas is the next target of Xi Jinping. Oh, and Japan, better watch out!

Meanwhile, its next-door neighbour, Russia, is also ramping up border tensions, this time with Ukraine. The other dictator, Putin, maintains that his armed forces are there to possibly protect the 'Russian Ukrainians' who are being, according to Putin, persecuted and in some cases captured, jailed and tortured by the Ukrainian regime. Utter nonsense! Putin, is an ex-Soviet KGB spy, let us not forget, and I know that when the Berlin Wall fell, which led to the break-up and dissolution of the Soviet Union, Putin was devastated. With the break-up of the USSR, there followed economic and social stagnation. Of course, he invaded and took over Crimea and control of large areas of the Black Sea. And just recently there was the chaos caused by about 4,000 migrants on the Polish-Belarus border where many world leaders reckoned Putin gave that other dictator, the Belarus leader, Alexander Lukashenko, full authority to create chaos in Poland and beyond. And there are now fears that Estonia could be the next border tension option for Putin.

So during the last six months or so this thought has constantly infiltrated my brain cells. Yes, it's a bit far-fetched I know, maybe even crazy, but has Putin and Xi Jinping got some kind of global strategy to eventually kill off the United States and other Western countries and eventually create a New Empire? Has this strategy already been worked out in total, utter secrecy? I mean those two countries between them are militarily the strongest, most powerful union on the planet.

And when I look at the world in terms of military assets, and apart from the United States, Britain and Europe, this New Empire has nothing to worry about. I mean most African and South American nations haven't the power to face off a New Empire takeover. And the only big player left in the contest would be Israel, a nuclear power that certainly isn't friends of either Russia or China.

So there you have it. I shall leave this blog as is and maybe come back with another covering the New Empire cyber-hacking war that carries on in the background.
