China Warns U.S. of 'Full-Scale Confrontation,' Talks Taiwan, Ukraine in Call

China has warned the U.S. that the two leading powers would be heading for all-out conflict if Washington pursues a purely competitive agenda toward Beijing, during a call in which top diplomats discussed the flashpoints of Taiwan and Ukraine.

The State Department first issued a brief readout late Tuesday revealing a call between Secretary of Staten Antony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, with State Department spokesperson Ned Price saying the pair discussed "developments in the DPRK" and "Russia's aggression against Ukraine."

"The Secretary underscored the need to preserve Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Price said.

Identical language was used by Blinken himself in a tweet issued shortly afterward, as President Joe Biden's administration prepared to unveil further measures designed to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for recognizing two separatist, self-proclaimed republics in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region and sending in peacekeepers in response to worsening violence that U.S. and Ukrainian have officials have alleged to be part of a "false flag" plot to justify Moscow's intervention.

Putin whipped his dick out. I guess Xi's going to do the same.

This is not coincidence.

They both want to be global superpowers in a world with diminished western democracies.

To flex their muscles and show their power, first Ukraine, then Taiwan.

And we shall see western democracies become more autocratic. Here in the US we will see a move to white minority rule, and harsh control over women and minorities.

While the US has foolishly been fighting over masks, Russian and Xi have been making plans.
