The propaganda is strong on this panel.

Its time to add Ukraine to the long list of catastrophic US foreign policy failures - Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Vietnam.

Anglo Saxons are jealous of a great relationship between two countries.😅😅
Nothing new!

[piku]

Tired of western imperialism and global capitalism oppressing the western and global working class.

[vbch]

One of the speakers said China is using Russia? Rubbish. Both countries have enjoyed sincere friendship over nany decades and they are neighbours. Just like US and Canada. I would say US has been using its Allies like Australia, Philippines, NATO, etc.

[vichitxaiyavong]

We wanna listen to Putin and Xi not these broken professors or doctors's mouth that can't even afford good food or cloths

[larryconstantine]

The west is jealous of China, Russia relationship 😂😂😂😂😂

[turingcs]

Isn't the host a journalist working for CNN? How come she is now hosting ABC News?

Bravo to Russia and China, the world is on your side

Excellent American strategists have always believed that the America's biggest strategic nightmare is to confront China, Russia, Iran and North Korea at the same time. The greed of the U.S. has strengthened the stupidity of American politicians and put the U.S. in a nightmare. For example: The U.S. has established 313 military bases around China, accounting for 42.7% of the total number of U.S. overseas bases. 50% of the total overseas troops, a total of 80, 000 people, have been deployed in Japan and South Korea surrounding China. The U.S. constantly provoking the situation around China and endangering China's interests, the latest move is to deploy ballistic missiles in the Philippines that can attack China.

At present, the U.S. State Department still misjudges the situation and is still foolishly threatening and provoking China. This behavior is extremely childish and ridiculous.

2022-2024

- In December 2023, China gave a high-profile commendation to the Type 055 'Nanchang' ship. On January 7, 2024, it was learned from the communication published by the North Sea Fleet PLA, in May 2022, with the cooperation of three satellites, the 'Nanchang' ship paralyzed the US Navy's Nimitz-class USS Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group through electronic warfare. (The U.S. Navy's 2nd Fleet, together with the U.S. 7th Fleet, are causing trouble around China, including: Ticonderoga-class cruisers, Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, early warning aircraft squadrons, reconnaissance aircraft squadrons, and SPY-4A shipborne long-range air search radars) The 'Nanchang' ship opened its missile silo, full tracking aiming and locking, It is similar to putting a gun on the head of the US Navy USS Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group. For 20 consecutive days, It single-handedly expelled the US Navy USS Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group eastward and out of the 'second island chain'. The PLA Navy currently has 10 Type 055 guided missile destroyers, and another 2 are being built. At present, the US Navy does not have the ability to suppress and strike electronic warfare through satellites.

- on July 11 2023, An article in the US magazine "The War Zone" reported that US Navy intelligence confirmed that China's annual shipbuilding capacity is 232 times that of the United States, reaching 23.2 million tons, while the United States only has 100, 000 tons.

- July 2023, Charles Q. Brown Jr. (U.S. top military commander-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force):
It is difficult for us to parry against our main opponent. The US military's ability to defend and attack in the field of electromagnetic spectrum has been weakened due to decades of decline. As a result, the U.S. military appears vulnerable in high-tech warfare, especially in Electronic warfare.

- The USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group is equipped with the most powerful carrier-based air wing in the US military. The electronic warfare capabilities of its VAQ-136 electronic warfare squadron are nearly twice as strong as other wings, it also makes the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group in the most advanced position in the US Navy in terms of electronic warfare capability. Recently, in the South China Sea, it ended in a major defeat in an electronic warfare showdown with Chinese electronic warfare aircraft.
Afterwards, 21 December 2023, it was confirmed through the official website of the U.S. Naval Institute confirmed that commanding officer of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136, Cmdr. William Coulter was relieved due to “a loss of confidence in his ability to command.”

- In March 2024, the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group came to the South China Sea for activities. When it learned that the PLA Navy had rushed into the Western Pacific toward Hawaii, the United States, to conduct 'long-range anti-submarine drills', the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group immediately turned around and fled the South China Sea.

- Now, China have hypersonic nuclear missile technology, but the U.S. military lacks hypersonic missiles technology, so it does not have the ability to intercept hypersonic nuclear missiles, and can only be passively beaten.
- About the YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile of the Chinese Navy: Its flight speed can exceed Mach 6 and can exceed Mach 10 in the final stage. Its flight trajectory is very elusive and its defense penetration capability is very powerful.
- China is currently the only country in the world that has the ability to intercept hypersonic missiles, the current interception success rate is 100%.
- The United States lacks hypersonic missile technology. Without considering the insufficiency of the shipborne anti-missile system's ability to calculate changing trajectories in real time when facing an incoming Mach 10 hypersonic missile, just talking about the speed of the anti-missile missile itself, it cannot catch up with missiles flying at hypersonic speeds of Mach 6-10.

- On July 2, 2023, U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Adm. Samuel Paparo: Within a range of 3, 000 kilometers, the Chinese Rocket Force DF-21 hypersonic missile can destroy U.S. aircraft carriers. If you don't worry about Dongfeng hypersonic missiles, you are a fool!

- In February 2023, the PLA successfully test-fired the Dongfeng-27 land-based hypersonic anti-ship missile. According to the evaluation of the US military, the average speed of this missile reaches Mach 8.6 (sea level standard) and the maximum attack distance is about 9, 000 kilometers (a nuclear warhead weighing about 0.8 tons), and it can already directly attack the U.S. military base in Hawaii off the coast of China (60, 000 U.S. troops, Pearl Harbor Naval Base, U.S. Pacific Command, Pacific Fleet Command, Pacific The headquarters of Fleet Marine Corps Command, Pacific Army Command and Pacific Air Force Command.), within the so-called "third island chain", the US military has no safety at all.

- On April 17, 2024, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall admitted in the U.S. House of Representatives that only 29% (less than one third) of F35 fighters had combat capability.

- The quality of U.S. Navy crews has also seriously declined. The U.S. military is still short of 7, 000 sailors recruited in 2023. U.S. Navy can't recruit even if U.S. Navy lower the standards, and take into account the lack of training time caused by the aging of warships. Do you still dare to say that the quality of the U.S. Navy is world-class?

- The US military lags behind the PLA in areas such as missiles, radar, warships, space weapons, warplanes, UAV, UAV aircraft carrier, microwave weapons, laser weapon, electronic warfare weapons...

- In April 7 to May 10, 2024, the US-Philippines 'side by side' military exercise in the South China Sea, a total of 16, 700 people participated, 11, 000 in the United States, 5, 000 in the Philippines, and the rest 700 were French and Australians.
On April 18, 2024, the USS Theodore Roosevelt crossed the Bashi Channel, returned to the South China Sea, and appeared alone in the nearby sea area without a frigate, try to provide support.
On April 19, 2024, at least three PLAN warships surrounded the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, including two Type 054A guided missile frigates (carrying a total of 16 YJ-83 anti-ship missiles with a range of 180 kilometers) and a Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship 'Neptune' (electromagnetic interference, electronic warfare "power of electromagnetic control", guidance, beyond visual range reconnaissance, comprehensive information collection and reconnaissance of electromagnetic signals such as radar signals and communication signals, real-time communications), which caused the Roosevelt aircraft carrier to suddenly make a sharp semi-circle turn and then escape quickly.
During the exercise, the Chinese Navy's 055 guided missile destroyers, 052C and 052D guided missile destroyers 'Nanning' are always nearby and ready for battle. The China Navy's Type 054A guided missile frigate 'Huangshan' sailed into the US-Philippines military exercise area without any hindrance, humiliatingly passing directly through the joint fleet. The Chinese Navy's Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship 'Uranus' shuttled freely in the exercise waters, only 3 nautical miles away from the joint fleet, and leisurely monitored the entire exercise for 10 hours until the end of the exercise, then it left leisurely. But during this period, the US-PH-FR-AU joint fleet never made any interception or interference.
'Military exercise'? If you can take action to solve the problem, use less words.

- On May 10, in an attempt to save face, the U.S. sent its main guided-missile destroyer USS Halsey to trespass into China's territorial waters off the Xisha Islands. The guided missile destroyer USS Halsey was warned and driven away and quickly evacuated. The PLAN immediately dispatched the 055 destroyer 'Zunyi', the 052C destroyer 'Haikou', the 052D destroyer 'Kunming' and the 054A frigate 'Xianning' to conduct live-fire exercises in the South China Sea. At the same time, another maritime patrol and search exercise was conducted in the sea area of Huangyan island. The USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier seeing this, it no longer dared to support the Philippines' provocation in the waters off Huangyan island on May 14, and quickly fled to the sea area south of China's "nine-dash line".

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is. - 'The Three-body Problem'

[HamberdersandMilkshakes]

Well like Donald Trump said, “it’s not like we are innocent”

[hehez]

The brutality of the Soviet Union led China to lean towards the United States, and then the Soviet Union disintegrated. The greed of the United States also led China to lean towards Russia

[joexavier]

I really dont think so russia pretty much isolated from entire world

"By this time next year, there will be about 15 people still admitting they supported this bloodshed and debacle of the US blocking diplomatic solutions and instead fueling this futile war in Ukraine."

"Everyone else will pretend they opposed it. US war propaganda is always false, " Greenwald concluded.

Indeed this is very similar with how the Iraq war turned out: "everyone" was on board, until they weren't.
