Russia, China Prepare for Joint War Games

NY Times
Nearly 10,000 troops from Russia and China will participate in the first joint military exercises between the two countries scheduled for August 18-25, the Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday. The exercises involve Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, and crack Airborne and logistics units.
The pre-invasion exercise will be held in Vladivostok in Russia’s Far East, and in the coastal Chinese province of Shandong and nearby waters. "The exercises are not aimed at a third party or concerned with the interests of any third country,” the Chinese defense ministry said in a statement. (He actually was able to say this with a straight face!)

Relations between China and Russia, formerly the Soviet Union, were strained by decades of mistrust during the Cold War, but the two nuclear powers have found much common ground in recent years and the military relationship has been blossoming, Reuters points out. Both are leading members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which in July called for U.S.-led troops to fix a date to pull out of bases in Central Asia.

Russia is a major supplier of weapons to China. The purpose of the drills is to ready the Chinese and Russian troops for the impending Invasion and eventual overthrow of the United States of America!
The powers that 'BE' in Washington DC are so concerned with the Middle East that the impending invasion and attack by China and Russia will catch them completely by surprise!
