Joe Biden said the western alliance would target any country that violated the sanctions against Russia. Specifically, after a lengthy telephone call with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping on March 18th: “President Biden made clear the implication and consequences of China providing material support, if China were to provide material support to Russia, as it prosecutes brutal war in Ukraine,” the senior administration official said, “not just for China’s relationship with the United States, but for the wider world.” (link)
Today, ten days later, China just called Joe Biden’s bluff.
China announces they will violate the western sanctions and continue to purchase crude oil and gas from Russia.
HONG KONG — Chinese state energy company Sinopec will continue to buy crude oil and gas from Russia, a top executive said on Monday, even as Western democracies step up sanctions in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The company, known formally as China Petroleum and Chemical, is involved in two major projects in Russia: an oil and gas production joint venture called Taihu in the Volga-Ural petroleum basin in western Russia with state-owned peer Rosneft, and the development of the Amur gas chemical complex and processing plant with Sibur in the Russian Far East, adjoining China.
Sinopec holds a 10% stake in privately owned Sibur.
During his company’s annual results call on Monday, Sinopec President Yu Baocai noted that it bought both crude and gas from Russia last year.
“We will also continue to do so in accordance to commercial principles and international trade regulations in the future with all trading partners in order to develop normal oil and gas trading cooperation,” he said.
Yu provided no figures, but said the buying is in line with the company’s strategy of “diversifying import sources.” Key considerations, he said, include supply types, price, transport costs, tariffs and supply stability.
Referring to Sinopec’s projects in Russia, Yu said that both are “operating stably in general for the time being, and there are no indications of impairment.” (read more)
As far as geopolitical chess is concerned, Chairman Xi just put Joe Biden in ‘check.’
There is no way Joe Biden is going to challenge or confront Xi Jinping directly. However, the intent of the western alliance to change the landscape of economics, trade and finance for the rest of the world is now directly being tested. We can also look at this like China testing NATO.
Your move Joe….
America – constant humiliation – verging on WW3.
America’s operating system has been hijacked by Deep State malware.
It’s called a coup. Time for a pig roast.
More like a rout.
Not yet Permanent War but Permanent War Fever.
Moral Panic, 3rd one in two years. It’s how they’re maintaining power at this point. keep people in a heightened state of fear and distracted. Moral panic 4 will probably be food shortages.
If Germany can buy oil and gas from Russia, why can’t China?
The US has no skin in the game. Only Russia and Ukraine have skin in the game.
So … does this mean:
1. Soros and his Committee of Evil handlers controlling the WhiteHouse don’t know what their doing?
Or
2. This is exactly what Globalist Soros wants … looks like he’s supporting Ukraine – while destroying it; keeps Xi happy; and Putin is solvent and still the “bad guy”?
On the bright side we now know what was said on the phone call. Biden : We need you to bail us out on this Russia thing, XI responded : FJB followed be a dial tone. I actually agree FJB!!!
And this is announced just after Biden drops tariffs on some 350 Chinese products.
What a sucker!
That’s what Xi said!!!
😂
Shocked, Shocked. Or Not. My mind has been trying to avoid contemplation about what kinds of scurrility the CCP has on the Big Guy and his dissolute son.
lots
We all know about the connections the left has with Ukraine.
We forget all the connections the left has with China. In this case, its more than just corruption. The left loves the one party dictatorship model that China embodies (even to the extent of publicly expressing it).
If you are looking to make China great again, I am not clear why you would ever regard the whining of your installed geriatric and half-witted puppet.
There is nothing meaningful the former republic of the USA can do at this point short of rid itself of its masters residing in the imperial palaces on the Potomac.
Xi owns Biden but respects Putin.
Who respects a Commander-in-Chief of a military that’s more concerned about LGBTQXYZ rights, men in dresses, and white-privilege, than about being a competent military? Russia and China are laughing at the stupidity. And that’s why the neo-cons are too scared to take on Russia directly, and have to sacrifice the Ukrainian young men instead.
I keep having the recurring feeling we are in a real life board game of Risk, and our “designated” player doesn’t understand the game.
LGB does not have the presence of mind to understand that as the “designated loser” between the last powers left standing to rule the world.
its not LGB, its FJB.
Biden is only the board piece. He’s just a teleprompter-reading meat puppet, not the brains thinking about the next moves. And the real brains behind this illegal regime know exactly what they are doing – causing the incremental collapse and eventual total failure of the U.S. Constitutionally-mandated government and our national sovereignty. Their goal is that they will replace the collapsed nation by bringing the country under a totalitarian One World Government.
Excellent.
I fear the US and world will never recover from Joe. Just as the Fabian Socialists planned.
you misspelled Obama
Why shouldn’t they buy energy products from Russia, after all Europe continues to do so…
That is an irrefutable point.
Putin played them SO.HARD.
Trump told them they were being played. They laughed out loud at him.
They ain’t laughing now.
Trump was right.
Exactly. Yet again
That’s what happens when you put a Chinese puppet in the White House.
One-on-one B-ball game, slam dunk by CCP on Obama. FJB still sitting on bench waiting for his ice cream cone.
…with the CCP crotch firmly planted in Obama’s face.
a welcome change from Big Mike’s
EEEWWWW! “How’s it hanging?“
This is simply fascinating, watching this play out on the global stage.
Who will win this “war”, I wonder…!!!?
It has been made ever so clear that the world leaders do not care a whit about what their citizens think.
It’s frankly terrifying.
America is like a woman whose husband is cheating on her, stealing from her, and killing people in another state and she doesn’t say anything because he gives her a generous allowance. What would it take for the woman to actually leave him?
there is literally no reason for them to care what their peasants think. They didn’t put them in charge, and they aren’t resisting.
IF war with Russia had happened under President Trump – and it wouldn’t have – and China did this, Trump would’ve smacked Panda silly with tariffs while enriching and securing America. Really miss having him in office…
I think Trump is smarter than to do that..Money is money and Trump is not stupid like our DC idiots are..Don’t you know that ..China..Russia India ..and even possibly South Africa are big partners in trade and they will come out way ahead of the west in the end..Trump would have worked with China on trade ..but cautiously..and we would not be in this stupid war..These war mongers in DC live in some dream world from long ago..What a bunch of idiots we have up there in DC..Trump is a business man and he knows how to negotiate..Biden and Obama only know how to bully..!!!
Yep…BRICS. And we are going to be left out in the cold. With the other major powers aligned, we are in trouble.
When Trump was President, the world was dancing to his tune. ( despite both hands tied behind his back.)
His take on Covid is very sad to me.
If you want to know who owns Biden just follow the Yuan.
Trump won.
Everybody knows.
of course they know, China help cheat. Too bad that won’t help now They have it all, every single bit of it. But nobody, even the perceived “good guys” are gonna say anything. they are all too busy worrying about themselves and what others know, and what they stand to lose. look how Rand Paul dances around Fauci-gate…he could end it now, but he is thinking about the next election…placement….Ted Cruz…same thing..I could name more, but I’d fill the page. They all have something to hide.
As Sundance stated shortly after President Trump was inaugurated … “there are TRILLION$$$ at stake” … the globalists, swamp, RINORATS & Xi could NEVER allow his MAGA Agenda to succeed.
The Globalists use China to advance their Globalism, but China uses Globalism only to advance their own rabid Nationalism.
Nationalism is a good thing.
Rabid nationalism is a very good thing.
I prefer Righteous Nationalism.
Much less likely to go mad and bite the world.
Hey, Biden! Who’s your daddy!
My god we’re being led by fools.
How embarrassed I am at my own country for allowing this pathetic excuse for a leader, to continue to make decisions that are at best wrong, but really just insane. The S**t Show continues. Sad
Who is really making the decisions? We’d all like to know.
When Biden is recuperating in his Delaware dacha, we don’t know who is there with him. Unlike the WH, no logs are required (or kept). He spends most of his weekends there meeting with ?????
For what’s left of the security of our country, this information should absolutely be made public.
Yep, he is described openly in a fair number of European outlets as frail, feeble and doddering.
Yikes!!!
We knew this before 2020, however that even that the globalist media are stating the obvious is at least for me.
Quite satisfying.
Selfish…maybe. But watching the U.S. Including our own dumb Canadians attempting to support him is laughable.
Afternoon, Dekester.
It took them long enough.
👍👍 to you Betsy.
😊
Yeah, Justine and Joey are not serving us well at all.
Joe “The Nowhere Man” Biden making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Why the heck not?
The people running Joe Biden are strategic morons. Trump understood long term strategy and he understood how stupid it is to put the USA in a position to rely on China for so many of our every day products. Obviously, the Biden administration hates our guts. Somebody prove me wrong.
The destabilization of the USA and the destruction of the value of the dollar IS the strategy. These people are not morons. Quite the opposite. They are intelligent and intentionally evil.
Our devastation is thoughtfully purposeful.
Great news
Thank God there are no more mean tweets though, right?
Right.
The only move FJB will be able to make, with the assistance of his fiber supplement, will be to schitt out his arse out what little brains he may have left.
All according to Obiden’s handler’s plan.
Bet Hunter is over there right now making deals for the Big Guy.
After all, trillions are at stake.
He should have gone to ground but you’re probably right, his greatest instinct is to grift.
What are we going to do to China now? Not buy any more of their products? Where will we get our products from then? Except for food and energy, we get most of our products from them, including medicine.
It would be terrifying if China ever decided to call in our debts. They would immediately own the entire US, which is why I believe they would never nuke us… they want all our farmland
Pretty sure they already do. They’re just be subtle about it… for now.
it is time to QUIT being silly….$1.7T would do no such thing and would further hurt an already COLLAPSING PRC economy
Russia owns most of Wyoming, China and Gates own the rest of the country.
Taking a poll: Who would you rather live under?
A. Russia
B. China
C. Gates and his freaks
Kick the Cheneys out and I’ll go to Wyoming!
Prophetic. Gog & Magog gathering on the plains of Armageddon. No mention of US.
You’ll know without a doubt the “Kings Of The East” will begin their march to the plains of Meddigo when all of a sudden every one of these global entities turns on Israel
Not yet for Armageddon — does not fit the needed time line.
Giant FU to the dementia patient! I would like to second that to every moron who voted for this disgrace.
Called his bluff, did they? I would have done as well. A very safe bet given he’s all bluster…and really has no idea what he’s doing. Biden’s a walking, talking (and barely those) book. Lights are flickering, and nobody’s home.
He also removed some of Trump’s tariffs. No surprise. He’s bought and paid for.

So we just keep giving ultimatums via sanction
and other major powers that aren’t under our thumb
keep violating the sanctions.
Who the Eff thought this was a good strategy?
If I treated my wife, kids or friends like this, I’d be all alone in my van
down by the river.
What is the end game here?
Its pretty obvious that China, Russia, Iran, etc aren’t cowed by the US anymore.
Change the strategy already.
You and Chris Farley sharing that van?
“Your move Joe….”
Come on man! You know I’ve got this covered. You’re just being a wiseguy. Want to have an IQ and push up contest?
Your move 0bama.
The Kenyan won’t do squat. There’s no benefit to biting his handlers hand
…and Europe is buying more than prior to war while the people of Ukraine pay the price.
Hey, let’s piss off everyone and threaten them.
What are we? The British empire of 1890?
It would be weird and totally surprising that China would turn their back on a partner..such as Russia..after all they are partners..BRICS..is up and going and will be a big ..huge trade partnership between China..Russia..India and possibly S Africa..This partnership was formed some years ago..but now is moving ahead..while the US sits back and tries to continue to be the bully of the west..Stupid people we have in DC..
If the US is the example of a republic then you can keep it. It’s a botched concept and leads right back to the slavery we thought it delivered us from.
Maybe,
Look what having a compromised Supreme Court😂 and allowing electoral votes in a handful of massive States out weigh dozens of smaller ones ultimately achieve.
Target California, N.Y, and Illinois and even this Canadian can see how easy it has been for Dems to gain power.
Of course the system as originally devised was brilliant, sadly amendment after amendment has nearly destroyed it.
That said..” Nae surrender”
Onwards and upwards.
Cheers!
Love your Scots accent…
😂😂
👍!!
The US, as currently managed, is not the example of a republic hr Founders envisioned.
Were they alive today, the Founding Fathers would consider pretty much every politician in DC a disgrace, and do something about it.
The petrodollar will disappear. That is what has kept the dollar going. Well Joe Biden I think you have the wrong person to take out!
Hard to think of America as no longer the world’s super power and leader of the free world.
I guess by 2030 our DOD will not buy any weapons powered by carbon emitting engines cause ideology and all.
TelsaTanks it is!
Our mil will be arming themselves with useless solar panels & windmills. “Swing away!”
“The new earth friendly weapons have no carbon footprint”
the old guy shuffles on and off stages. one almost expects to see slippers on him. how can anyone expect the world to respect this old fart.
Is there much difference between an old fart and a new fart?
“OMG, I totally didn’t expect that, Red China siding with Putin” said no one.
Joe just stepped on a rake, and after getting hit in the face, stepped on it again. Ten more times.
Proving yet again that despite his diminished capacity, Biden retains the uncanny ability to be exactly wrong about literally everything. “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f things up.” – Obummer
“On Heals of China Decision, Furious Biden Refuses to Share Pudding with Xi.”
White House officials immediately clarify, stating, “To be clear, Resident Biden meant Jello, not pudding.”
This is done on purpose, to sanction everyone until we have no friends, no trading partners. Then our service economy becomes a beggar nation. Ugly picture. It is coming. They want to destroy the USA, and isolation is the first step. Destroying the currency is next, then depopulation, then invasion.
This isn’t all about us. I see no chance that Xi, Putin, and the rest of the Global South are on the same page as Davos.
Agree, soros’ actions as of late show an increasing discomfort with china. Davos crowd will compete with brics crowd, middle east will follow brics as they will sell more oil. Western nations will decline.
Hahahahahaha!
This is what the rest of the world should be doing, laughing their asses off at us and anyone who advocates this vile administration.
By the way, since they’re so indoctrinated that having money is bad, I advocate for a 90% tax rate on anyone who voted for Biden.
Does that include the Chicoms and Europe as well?….at least 30M of Slo Joe’s votes originated there
Dumb as a stump B-B-B-Biden.
Lets Go Brandon!
Pretty sad when China takes care of his Citizens and Biden and his dumb administration do everything they can to hurt it’s Citizens
That slap Will Smith gave Chris Rock last night was NOTHING compared to the slap Xi just gave Biden.
And, just like Rock……..Biden is gonna take it.
But hey, the grownups are in charge now, right media and democrats (there is no difference between the media and the democrats)?
Or it was planned all along for China to broker Russian and Saudi oil to the USA. And the “Big Guy” gets his cut.

The best quote from the Xi / FJB call was this “He who tied the bell to the Tiger must take it off”

All the world leaders know that we create Ukraine as a corrupt money laundering scheme.

Good for China……
The evil cabal intentionally destroying western societies must lose this war for the good of humanity.
I think this is great! So seemingly ironic that it is Russia and China leading the way to defy the “Demands” of the deep state. Brandon is a joke, and it is a pleasure to see him s*** on– Well deserved.
Resident Potato Head and The NeoCons of the Uniparty apparently don’t read books written before 2022, like “Foreign Policy for Dummies”.
The only move joke biden will make is in his depends.
