WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is sounding out close allies about the possibility of imposing new sanctions on China if Beijing provides military support to Russia for its war in Ukraine, according to four U.S. officials and other sources. It was not clear what specific sanctions Washington will propose. The U.S. Treasury Department, a lead agency on the imposition of sanctions, declined to comment.
I think that claiming China is sending weapons to Russia could be a way to explain how Russia is able to outproduce all of NATO right now. Smearing China in the eyes of western public is just a cherry on top since they’re still pushing towards some sort of a confrontation with China. This all seems rather delusional to me given that if they try to pull the same shit they did with Russian sanctions, the economic blow back will be far more severe. Yet, here we are.
My guess is the US deep state is foreseeing the collapse of Ukraine and is filling the “Russia’s running out of ammo” narrative with “China is shipping weapons to Russia” narrative. They tested the waters with saying the DPRK sent weapons, and nobody questioned it, so now they are sticking it on China to bait Europe and the Quad into sanctions.
Thing is that trying to sanction China is going to be absolutely suicidal. They tried with Russia, and it backfired spectacularly. China is on a whole different level from Russia.
The US is going to fall back on dominating the economies of those fooled into sanctioning themselves from Russia and China. The US is targeting certain nations to subjugate in the way they tried with China within Europe and Latin America (like Germany and Mexico). Asking for more “free trade” from these economies which is a euphemism for letting American Capital seek rent on every branch of your economy.
If things go this route watch VW and Nintendo get bought out by American firms, Samsung and Toyota. The US would want tight controls over chips, Lithium, and Cobalt. The Suburban nation collapses without those inputs.
I think that’s exactly it. Hudson put it really well in this interview. He basically says the proxy war was a holding action. US realized the empire is crumbling, and they’re trying to make Europe entirely dependent on them to keep it in their orbit. And to a lesser extent this applies to their other vassals.
I do think this policy could backfire spectacularly in the end as people in these countries will inevitably start connecting the dots between their collapsing standard of living and US hegemony over them.
West will blame China for everything bad. Saying the only way to fix things is to sanction. Things get worse because of sanctions. West blames China even more for worse conditions. Says only way to fix things is more sanctions. Rinse and repeat.
Libs will wear rags and eat bugs so long as you keep spamming the tank man picture. Which I have seen posted repeatedly all over Reddit a lot recently.
Remember all those posts and comments people have made about how “As the empire falls it will lash out sporadically in an attempt to maintain power”? Well…
Like a rabid dog that only grows more mad the closer to death it cones. Like how we imagine a tyrant king slowly made insane by his own farts, cruel from paranoia until the haunts of their paranoia become manifest by their cruelty. Desperation makes us all turn beastly, the most wicked beasts among us all the more so.

I don’t understand what they think. Sanctioning us when we don’t support Russia means they want us to support Russia. Isn’t it?

Things get so bad that there is civil unrest in USA. West solves this by waging actual war against China. WWIII begins
At this point I almost wonder if the US deep state is comrade accelerationists 😂
Ok honestly the Yanks have totally lost the plot. Like wtf are they even trying to do at this point?

It’s honestly bewildering to watch.
It’s beautiful. And predictable! 😀
