       I think the best point being is that we should already assume
       China has taken pictures of every square inch of the U.S. via
       military satellites. Lastly, knowing that a nation has
       functional nuclear capability is part of the nuclear deterrence
       scheme...

       the move undermined military trust and transparency and
       imperiled future attempts at arms control.

       the former Cold War foes, the New START treaty, which limits the
       number of nuclear warheads each may have. That treaty will
       expire in February and the Trump administration had said it
       wasn’t interested in extending it unless China also joined,
       something Beijing says it will not do...

       US says it has intelligence that China is considering backing

       --- Quote ---
       > The US has intelligence that the Chinese government is
       considering providing Russia with drones and ammunition for use
       in the war, three sources familiar with the intelligence told
       CNN.
       > It does not appear that Beijing has made a final decision yet,
       the sources said, as negotiations between Russia and China about
       the price and scope of the equipment are ongoing.
       > Since invading Ukraine, Russia has repeatedly requested drones
       and ammunition from China, the sources familiar with the
       intelligence said, and Chinese leadership has been actively
       debating over the last several months whether or not to send the
       lethal aid, the sources added. Retired Lt. Col. Alexander
       Vindman talks to CNN's Jim Acosta of what the ramifications
       could mean for the US. #russia #CNN #jimacosta

       Whether the US claim is truthful or not doesn't matter. China's
       mistake was to even give the US the chance to credibly make such
       a claim. If (as I recommended a year ago) China had invaded
       Manchuria immediately after Russia invaded Ukraine, no one would
       take seriously any subsequent US claim that China was supplying
       Russia, and thus the US would refrain from such a claim in the
       first place.
       As I keep saying, the only way to gain the trust of one side is
       to voluntarily burn bridges to the other side:

       Why Russia's Biggest Threat is Actually China

       > Russia does still have nuclear weapons and an official
       doctrine to use them if the territorial integrity of the nation

       did take into consideration that the Chinese border could be
       threatened as well.

       > You think anyone can come into russian territory and do what
       they want lol? First of all its an enourmosly powerfull country
       with thousands of equipment facilities all over the country that
       basically print weapons. No other country has the capability to
       produce as much as russians at a given time frame. Because
       soviet union was just overwhelming in that regard and all this
       factories are in buisness till now. So whoever comes will face a
       really powerful conventional army and specially in defence
       russia will be alot harder to break. Lastly they have the most
       powerful nuclear arsenal in the world that can strike anywhere
       in the world from Sea, ground and air. Just because Russia does
       flatten Ukraine does not mean they cant. Its not the objective.
       However in all out war, dont make any mistake russia will
       unleash the most powerful weapons in their arsenal like Yars,
       bulava, kinzhal, sarmat, poseidon to name a few and completely
       decimate any invading force and obliterate any country invading
       Russia. So stop acting that any country including china can walk
       in and do whatever they want. Russia can literally within an
       hour erase all countries from face of earth.
