Russian bear has been totally sold to Chinese panda

Because of the war in Ukraine, Putin has surrendered the future of Russia to his accomplices for the ‘’goodies‘’ that he uses to maintain his power. This changes the security parity in the world forever

‘Russia is pledging its future to Beijing,’ Stoltenberg, the outgoing NATO secretary general after 10 years, tells The Times.

China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea are already united in a strong dictatorial alliance, Stoltenberg believes, and he names the price the world will pay for its mistakes.

China benefits from a protracted war, because then Russia will owe it even more. Now Putin is receiving weapons components, microelectronics, microprocessors, which Mordor uses to create missiles and bombs.

Moscow is helping Beijing to develop a new generation of nuclear submarines, the Type 096, with ballistic missiles, by transferring experience in stealth technologies that help avoid detection. This is exactly the kind of technology that China desperately needed in its efforts to take over Taiwan.

Putin sells oil and gas to his friend Xi at significant discounts, leases forests and land, and in return receives Chinese cars, production technologies and bills in Chinese yuan. There is more to come: China is determined to push Russia in the military sphere, for example, it is going to ‘want’ a military base in the Arctic, and the Kremlin will not be able to refuse. 

This dependence is for years. Even if Putin goes to hell tomorrow, his followers will not escape from Chinese bondage, they have already been integrated into the panda economy,’ other sources confirm the NATO Secretary General's words. 

From Iran, Mordor received a batch of more than 200 Fath-360 ballistic missiles and the infamous Shahed drones. Russia sent grain stolen from the occupied territories of Ukraine to Iran. But it's not just the grain that worries NATO: The Kremlin shares technologies that will help Iran in its missile programs. And this is a threat to Israel. Do you feel the stakes rising?

At first glance, cooperation with Kim Jong-un looks a little comical: the DPRK dictator gave the bunker old man 1.6 million shells, and the latter gave him a Russian limousine that had already broken down, 400 goats and 60 Oryol trotters. But in fact, in addition to cattle and livestock, Kim received technological support for the DPRK's nuclear, missile, and space projects. Plus assistance in launching spy satellites into orbit. And this is already a threat to South Korea and Japan.

Stoltenberg is concerned for a reason. While NATO is showing concern and wondering whether it will be an escalation to shoot down an unfortunate ‘Shahed’ over Poland, Romania or one of the Baltic states, the axis of evil is growing stronger and filling the holes made by sanctions. And China is increasingly raking Russia, which is no longer carrying out the war in Ukraine. One day, the moment will come when the ‘evil four’ decide that it is time to implement their ambitious plans. NATO may not be ready for that.

Stoltenberg's article is yet another example of professionals who are not politically bound to be able to clearly see the risks of today and try to reach the highest offices of democracy. Already, Moscow's military secrets have helped Beijing significantly catch up with Washington in terms of military power, and this is only the beginning of cooperation. But democracy's governance offices continue to complain and throw up their hands.
