Please remember the global economics of the thing always aligns with the motives and outcomes of the thing. Remember, Saudi Arabia just joined the BRICS coalition, BRICS+.
A new report shows China is moving six additional warships into the Middle East amid concerns the Israeli War could expand into a larger regional conflict. China is aligned with multiple interests; and cunning Panda also supports the Biden administration end goal of a two-state solution in Israel.
(UK EXPRESS) – China has deployed six warships to the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalates, according to reports.
The 44th naval escort task force – from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theatre – has been involved in routine operations in the region and spent several days in Oman last week.
The Chinese warships left Muscat for an unspecified location on Saturday after participating in an exercise with the Omani navy.
The task force includes the Zibo, a guided missile destroyer, the frigate Jingzhou, and the supply ship Qiandaohu – all of which will be stationed in the Middle East as Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Gaza.
During the visit to Oman, Chinese commanders met with Omani military officials and visited military institutions, while sailors from both countries toured shops and even organized a basketball game, according to a state news agency.
Since arriving in the Gulf of Aden north of Somalia six months ago, the PLA task force has been involved in escort missions for shipping.
However, it handed over its mission to the 45th task force – from the PLA’s Northern Theatre command – earlier this month.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping said on Thursday that a two-state solution to establish an independent Palestine is the “fundamental way out” of the Israel-Hamas war. (read more)
We need to keep watching these developments closely.
The U.S. has positioned two carrier battlegroups in the Mediterranean. One group contains the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer assigned to USS Ford Carrier Strike Group 12. The Carney traveled through the Suez Canal Wednesday and immediately intercepted 4 cruise missiles and 11 drones from an unknown origin with an unknown destination. {Go Deep}
The original Pentagon statement has not changed in the past 48 hours. Unknown origin, unknown target. The missiles entered the protection zone of the strike group, so we shot them down.
All of the follow-up reporting about Yemen and Israel, as the origination and target respectively, has come from high level “U.S. government officials,” not the military. That approach indicates a sensitive political matter, with the Biden administration (State Dept, NSC and Intel) guiding and controlling public information very carefully.
If you just stick to the Pentagon as the source of information, there has not been a change since the original report to the media.
Something remains sketchy. I’m still not sure what it is, but something is not passing the sniff test.
China now moves six additional ships into the region.
What interests specifically is China planning on defending?
Has China ever done something like this before? I don’t remember it happening. This is really interesting – they are taking a new role in world affairs.
Interesting times indeed.
It’s tragilarious to watch, because before the Council On Foreign Relations orchestrated Free Trade treason & technology transfers to China, China was nothing. They didn’t even have modern Guidance Missile systems until CFR comrade Clinton illegally gave it to them as part of the ChinaGate treason. Heritage America slept through all of it, to our present woe
Nothing would have been done about it anyway since leftists have held majority positions for decades. Clinton did a number on the Indian tribe cleaning out their bank account with a false promise. They didn’t learn much even after that. His man accepting that check from the China general’s daughter was reported and the Nation’s leftist media ignored it. Bottom line: the writing has been on the wall for decades. It’s a little late now to do much. What makes it worse, half the nation completely unaware of any of this.
The other half of the nation being aware of this wouldn’t make any difference either…
And wouldn’t believe you if you told them.
Clinton also gave N Korea nuclear power & China silent sub propeller technology. #GetTheRope
Toshiba (Japan) gave the Russians the silent propeller tech too.
Yes, Toshiba didn’t know it was classified. No one even mentioned it to them.
No, that was Toshiba who did that.
The only thing China is good at is theft…
Yes, apparently they stole the world while everyone was watching. Yes?
Up until a few years ago China never had what could be considered a blue water navy. Other than their trade ships the majority of Chinese boats never ventured away from a visible shoreline. And today the majority of their capabilities were “borrowed” (ie: stolen) from the US.
True for sure. Most telling was when a dude here from Ethiopia described the China/USA scene as the USA being China’s research facility with their long on-going theft of military secrets here. Iow, many knowledgeable across the globe see and understood what was going on. Except, of course, the grifters we endure in our own Congress, specifically, our Number One Grifter, Joseph Biden. Beginning with the unethical, immoral Clintons, America has been on a red-light sale. Consider a top Senator on important Committees had a Chinese spy on her staff for two decades. A former Senate pal of her’s left the Senate office to work for a China as a lobbiest. And then we have Mr. Swalwell, a California Representative sleeping with a China spy for years. We already mentioned Clinton’s approval of the sale of USA missile guidance know-how for the general’s daughter gift of $275,000 to Slick Willie’s campaign. The left here installed Biden over Trump in 2020. Fool voters wanted more leftism, so they denied the predicted Red Wave of 2022. Of course, as we have recently witnessed, it is questionable whether the GOP really was capable of being a true opposition Party. So that even was not likely to have done much to correct our current sad state. Soon it will be so obvious of who is the greater power that the will to fight will be given up.
To your list I must add Our infamous Mitch McChina, the biggest and worst traitor and grifter in US Congressional history.
I firmly believe his wife was put in his path for a very specific purpose. I still can’t believe President Trump actually hired the woman.
He did it while biting his lip. Her appointment to the position was to ensure Mitch’s cooperation.
and they still do not have a blue water navy other than on paper. Once they get away from the South China Sea they have no legs. I have suggested the only reason those ships that were already nearby are deploying to the Med is to get a good look at the USS Ford. Likely the first time they will be seeing it up close relatively speaking.
have to transit the Suez Canal first
As reported their ships were operational there for some time and exercises. They have apparently multiple bases in the area. The latest deployment was very recent after their games.
A few years ago they had no legs. Now they have Djibouti, Gwadar and Hambantota to operate out of. And they have regularly been practicing, sending naval task forces into the Atlantic, the Med, the Baltic, all around the world, practicing underway replenishment.
That is definitely possible, or to test their electronic warfare stuff out versus ours. But they could perform a limited short-term combat mission.
Stolen yes. But they are very accomplished at mass-producing what they steal. A recent US Navy report says China has over 220 times as much shipbuilding capacity as the entire USA. China is launching dozens of warships every year. They have more hulls in their navy than the US does in ours. They may not match the US in quality but they have us beat in quantity and as Stalin said “Quantity has a quality all its own.”
Not in the Middle East, but they now have a fleet that is capable of projecting strength abroad. This will only increase as their naval warship manufacturing infrastructure is superior to ours.
It is vastly superior to our’s even though we had warning of this years ago. Our Congress has let us down. Otoh, it is we who elected these grifters.
Lol, one of their carriers used to be a casino. They aren’t as scary as you think.
Whether or not you consider PLAN carriers “scary” the evolution through Shandong and Fujian shows China is serious about using carrier air for power projection.
True.
It is common for many Americans to be overconfident and smugly relying on past performances. Nevertheless, that is what the leftists do best.
Well, we do have laser weapons now. That’s a good thing. Of course, China has probably stolen these secrets and are producing their’s now too. It would be naive to think that a casino is one of their carriers. It would be crazy to go into a fight overconfident, fat, and woke.
Alas for them their economy will soon be unable to support Emperor Xi’s lofty goals. The way they construct real estate why would we believe they’re shipbuilding is much better or on par with ours.
Shipbuilding is vastly different than apartment construction. Still, it is possible their quality control is not good. But neither is our ship production. It’s been ten years since a retired admiral spoke of our need to increase ship building. Also, the latest American carrier was NOT exactly a model of quality production. If memory serves me still, it took something like 5-years to get through the sea tests. One real advantage we do have is our capacity for thinking outside the military box. Now, thanks to this – which btw, is a merit based system – laser technology, quick, precise, destructive, invisible. They won’t know what hit them. Maybe.
Many of them were not truly elected.
Heck, none are.
But then, neither was Biden.
And their army is some 100 million robotically trained soldiers, if I remember correctly. We cannot win against China.
Really because wiki says the entire PLA (Army, Navy, etc) is just over 2 million with 1/2 million in reserve. Their robots are still running on DOS 2.0. We can easily defeat them but why bother just let them wither on the vine so to speak.
FJB has allowed tens of thousands Chinese military aged men to enter through our Open Southern Border.
Border officials have reported they have paid $$Thousands to coyotes and have $$Thousands in cash with them. These are not poor Chinese men seeking asylum.
A Scary point, for sure. For this, Biden and Mayorkas need to be charged with sedition and failure to keep their Oaths.
The communist chinese are not revered for their fighting skills. Don’t you remember the border war they had with vietnam? They lost over 50,000 men in one month fighting against vietnamese army reservists.
That was the case several decades ago. But, now they are much, much richer. Thanks to America.
Regardless of their prowess, it would be dangerous to go into a fight over confident and expecting the enemy to trip and fall of his own accord. Our own military was recently shown to be grossly overweight by some 30% or more. Our recruitment numbers are still failing due to the attitude of Milley and Austin. There was a study that showed our fighter planes are some 30% out of repair to fly. Same with Navy equipment. Bottom line, many experts believe our military is not prepared to win a knock down drag out fight. We have 15 months to wait for a serious, badass, mean tweating Prez to straighten things out. The Dems are so afraid he will interupt their gravy train game of corruption.
This not about winning. ‘They’ probably know that they wouldn’t win the war but they would have achieved all their objectives.
a) Reduction of population
b) One world government
C) Bankers (Babylon Radhanites) would have earned enormous profit. Don’t forget
“All wars are bankers war”
That’s long time ago but they won the war against India in 1962 although India had one of the best fighting forces’Gorhas’.
My God man a few warships and now they have power projection…are you kidding? China made a big deal recently about sending 6 cargo airplanes from China to Serbia to make a military delivery. The US Air Force probably does that every day for years and years. A few warships with more support vessels than combatants, yeah that’s power projection at its finest….sigh.
Any idea of how many fighter jets they have? Any idea of the status of their submarines? Any idea of the status of their icbms? Never mind. Just ignore reality. Everything will be alright. Now, go back to sleep.
They have also leased ports all over the world. Most notably in our backyard, Brazil.
Plus the spy bases recently installed on the island of Cuba.
Do they still rent the docks and base at Long Beach?
What if they only need to fight a short action? I’m pretty sure they could do that.
China has been taking a leadership role in world affairs for some time now, Lulu. Thanks for noticing.
They’ve been paying their way in and people are starting to notice it is not a good thing….at least the semi intelligent ones. Lot’s of talk but little results.
They’ve been paying their way in is spot on. Just ask Joey Biden. Whoops, better not ask him. Mumbles might throw a hissy fit.
This specific is a first. However, that something was up was indicated when China offered to negotiate peace in the Ukraine/Russia USA debacle. Of course, Brandon’s nursing staff told them to pound sand.
Their peace offer was a pathetic joke and not even a place from where negotiations could begin. Regardless no one asked them to butt in on behalf of their friend forever Russia.
Some do not want peace because it would cut back on their war profitting. If China cannot ask, then why was the US being allowed to interfer. The same could be said of the US. Ukraine used to be a part of Russia, many Ukrainians speak Russian. Stalin took it right after WW2 as part of the division of war spoils. Remember, the negotiations between Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin. The US promised Russia previously we would never allow Ukraine to join NATO. Now Brandon was pushing just such a break of our promise.
Well, that can’t be; after all they’re a “developing nation.” /sarc
Exactly! They’re developing thus they don’t have to pay their fair share for Climate hoax, WHO, UN, etc etc…
Xi said to Putin as he prepared to board his (Xi’s) plane: “be cool bro, a major global change is coming.”
No. I don’t think they have. They usually invade other countries that border china or encroach upon other countries’ territorial waters.
Anyone know any Filipinos? China is going after their islands now. Also their fishing grounds. Little by little they are expanding. It’s a slippery slope.
Whatever is going to happen is going to happen while Joe Biden is still in the White House, they wouldn’t be deterred by Kamala Harris either. Since the same people and same policy would still be in charge.
Long term China wants to displace the US as a global power. A show of force supports their allies in the region. They may be positioning to resolve the Hamas versus Israel war. They could just be gathering intel on US naval capabilities.
don’t need heavily armed ships for intel gathering
A paper tiger doesn’t have real teeth.
Brandon appears to use dentures.
… and xi jipeng (Winnie the Pooh) uses his big belly.
Remember when the paper tiger launched a hypersonic glide vehicle into low orbit space?
It circled the globe and re-entered before our so called intel even knew about it.
China doesn’t answer to anyone and there’s no arms control treaties for them.
https://www.ft.com/content/ba0a3cde-719b-4040-93cb-a486e1f843fb
True enough.
Sometimes a weather balloon works.
Allowed to traverse the country because we have a president compromised by and beholden to China. Blackmail is a powerful tool.
One destroyer and one frigate….superpower stuff, makes my head spin. It’s what they had nearby so yes it’s for intel gathering.
I would guess that China wants calm to reign in the region because of their Belt and Road project. China and Syria very recently signed a strategic partnership agreement supposedly to better smooth the way and to protect the Belt and Road.
time for the Indian navy to step up
PLAN out past Singapore is a whole new “game”
China’s fishermen already rape the world’s oceans, now the muscle to do it harder
China and India are both members of the BRICS alliance.
I’m sure they’ll work it out.
The India-Middle East- Economic Corridor is a planned trade route that competes with China’s Belt and Road. I am convinced the root of the mess is efforts to block Belt and Road alternatives

Possibly, for sure. But it could also be that they have made a very calculated decision. This point in our 240-year history we are at an especially weak point, probably we have never been as weak. It was predictable that the next 15 months were highly susceptible to a showdown. Our “leaders” are especially weak and have been purchased like a cheap trick on the street. Xi knows this oh so well. Biden is financing both sides of the ME scene. It is so damn despicable. Best to not forget their hypersonic missiles could knock out aircraft carriers quickly producing an immediate loss of some 10k-13k sailors. By now they probably have a ton of them placed all around. Were that action to be taken, the whole world would witness the sudden change of superpower status. It is not as if they have not provided multiple warnings. A significant percentage of US fighter jets are out of service, same with our Navy, our recruitment rolls are way down because of the Woke Pentagon and Military blaming white men and women of racism. These is the same race that has fought died far out of proportion to any other race in the military in the past. All this thanks to General fat Mark Milley and our obese Sec of Def Lloyd Austin, both men grotesque examples of an overconfident fat, profit focused, woke military leadership. Our nuke subs lurking deep in the waters near our carriers are most of our true deterent. Xi may hope they do not have the coordinates plugged in of his critical residences and that may put him off. It is a real showdown. Hopefully, a live brilliant mind is calling the shots for Joe. Obama nailed it with his warning: “Never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to “f…” something up.” Hmm, one might wonder where Bubba and Barry are hiding now. If they are near bunkers it will be time to be scared.
Who would benefit from a blockaide of the Red Sea….or Suez?
The US.
Suez Canal may soon be pretty much a non issue.
The Russian Northern Sea route is making the Suez canal almost obsolete. Its quicker, faster, and cheaper route to ship goods in the Northern Hemisphere.
Globull warming is a good thing.
Joey and Victoria?
All I can say is please please people here on CTH- I am feeling bad things coming Pray for our country & the world.
Hannibal intra portis est.
If the world would let Israel and Hamas just settle their scores, all would be well. Why the F does the world feel a need to have a vote?!?!
They’d like Israel to join their suicide pact.
Biden funds both sides.
What a great foreign policy.
All this while our great GOP is actually considering a Soros’ dude for Speaker.
With Biden up front, Schumer/McConnell leading the Senate, and a very weak GOP Soros Speaker, what the heck could go wrong?
@stargirl1946,
Thank you for thinking about the rest of the world. I have been following your country’s politics for the last 3 decades and studying its history. Sadly, there is no shortage of false flag events to start wars in US history. It is in fact, deeply troubling.
We do need God to save us. The invasion of Israel to me was not about Israel or Hamas … it is just one more excuse to get into a global war with China and Russia
It was about Israel and Jews. The hatred for Jews now is shocking. What Hamas did was horrific. Biden should have let Israel do what it needed to do. Now Hamas has had time to prepare. This was arguably Biden’s goal. After all he freed up $billions for Iran and gave $158million directly to Hamas just two weeks prior to the butcherous attack. We direly need a real leader now. Not the gaggle of nurses attending the Oval Office inhabitant.
Read Ezekiel 38 and 39. I think things are lining up for this Biblical War.
US Army units were given orders last week to pack their gear and be ready to deploy to Djibouti in 3 weeks or less. Let’s hope everyone is getting all dressed up for nothing.
And China got the money to purchase these warships through………….Free Trade! From the treasonous Free Traitors lead by CFR Newt Gingrich arch fabian Uniparty & his friend CFR China owned Billy boy Clinton!
Free trade is the serial killer of American manufacturing and the Trojan Horse of World Government. It is the primrose path to the loss of economic independence and national sovereignty. Free trade is a bright shining lie.

A two state solution; for China and Taiwan!!!!🤣
A two-state solution hasn’t worked until now and it won’t work in the future.
Exactly.
Hasn’t been accepted when offered.
Won’t stop extermination offorts against Israel.
Trying to back Israel into a corner as Sundance previously opined.
The objective being “a 2 state solution “.
Is that like the Final Solution?
Effectively.
I think both China and U.S. are there to eventually harass Israel into a two state solution and intimidate Israel to back off their invasion.
harass…??? Israel will not have choice but sign up for 2 state solution after 75 yrs. of endless wars…….OR THERE WILL BE WW3 ???
That may align with the economic interests of both.
Wondering when the Seventh Veil will drop…..
What they have right now is a two state non-solution.
They have a 3 state solution now.
Israel, Jordan, Syria. Send the arabs living in gaza to a bordering arab country, where they belong.
They do not want them and will not accept them. I would send them to the West Bank and level Gaza.
Defending authentic Chinese food just kidding I for one would immediately move away from the big cities or anyplace where a defense plant is in operation
While I was stressing about the missile silos within 100 miles of my daughter and her family, I realized that I am less than an hour away from Barksdale AFB.
Oh well.
The closer one is to a nuclear target, the less they have to worry about.
Yeh, just smile at the mushroom cloud and feel the burn.
First burn. Then blast wave. Then cloud. Then fallout.
Though blast wave takes time, so those far away can see the cloud before they are hit by blast wave.
BTW, duck and cover was never to save people from the burn. It was to reduce additional injuries from the blast wave. Many victims went to windows to see what was happening. Windows which were shattered and blown into their bodies.
Unfortunately, that is not correct. Our icbms are constructed with thick concrete walls and very heavy thick concrete and steel doors. If there were to take a direct hit, they would have been completely destroyed. Our crews operating down in those silos were aware of the prospect. They consider a direct hit as being within 5-miles. Visit Eniwetok Atoll if you would like to see what an a-bomb does to concrete and steel ships. Nuclear explosions turn targets into disorganized atoms. Probably targets are prioritized: DC/NY, Pentagon, Langley CIA, large military bases, Bangor nuke sub base near Bremerton, WA, submarine long range signal attennas, San Diego Navy and Marine large bases, etc. Of course, nearby Tijuana would strongly feel the effect of Pendleton and the Navy Base hit. Most of our icbms are in rural Montana, the Dakotas, Missouri, etc. Tucson has zero now. It only has a small AF Base of F16s, A10s mostly. Of course, our destruction of us would mean China cannot collect what we owe them. So, an EMP makes much more sense and has better logic since it minimizes actual damage. One or two 20 miles or so above would take us back to the wild 18th or 19th century. That debt would then still be collectible.
There used to be 18 Titans around Tucson. Reagan had them removed as part of his treaty work. But the Air Force assumed each one might be hit with a Soviet icbm in order to take out our ability to respond. Soviet missiles were no-where nearly as accurate as our’s. They figured a hit within 5-miles would destroy the thick concrete walls of the silo. Assuming they would have fired 18 Soviet icbms to take out our Titans, that would have been 18 Soviet missiles attempting to destroy our 18 Titans. Tucson would have been turned into a deep, black crater with super high radiation levels that would have had a half-life of several thousands of years. It was just a few months ago that Biden, Austin, Milley allowed a Chinese spy balloon to meander around our icbm silos in Montana and also meander around our B2 bomber bases in Missouri. Hopefully, they were not merely checking coordinates for final aiming.
Sundance …as you remember Syrian Pres.Dr.Al-Assad visited few weeks ago China…they sign up many things ….and they will defend Syria…
We can only speculate, but the idea occurs that perhaps Iran launched the missiles and drones in a way that the USS Carney would be sure to detect, but did so in explicit but secret coordination with China, which is now posturing as the savior of the situation by advocating a two-state solution to end a war in Gaza that the region does not want.
In this scenario, by first heightening the crisis with the Carney incident, China is trying to exploit the heightened tensions by proposing a two-state solution, which king oil exporter Saudi Arabia has also long advocated, but that Washington has relatively, but not completely, lost interest in in recent years.
Again, this is speculation, but Iran and China have become much closer in recent years, including a bilateral investment deal announced in March 2021 committing China to invest $400 billion in Iran as well as Iran’s recent entrance into both the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS.
China is a rising power in the Middle East, as it is in East Asia and elsewhere. China’s leaders likely sense an opportunity to make further inroads in the region at U.S. expense, assuming Washington isn’t willing to join China in bringing this war to a rapid close.
My take was when Howard Dean,Rabin, Clinton, Count Bernadotte proposed the Two State solution, their timeline was off, thus they all were take off the world stage though various methods
Rabin’s assassination marked the end of the two-state solution
http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/11/rabins-assassination-marked-the-end-of-the-two-state-solution.html
Very possible.
The whole world knows our leadership and that it will likely change in 15 months possibly for a much sharper set of leaders. So, this is our most susceptible moment in modern history. Difficult to know how much they have learned about us from their new Cuba intelligence bases also but probably just finer detail on what they already knew about the quality of people in DC, the Pentagon, Langley.
China brokered a rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia and between Syria and Saudi Arabia. Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are to be BRICS+ members on January 1, 2024.
The Chinese have an excellent intelligence organization and may be aware of what is being planned in the Biden White House, State Department, and Pentagon. After the US destroyed the Nordstream Pipelines and have endlessly supported Ukrainian deaths to the detriment of US citizens, I have NO TRUST in the Biden administration. They will do anything any time anywhere that might benefit the multinational corporate and bank controllers of the US government who are moving chess pieces without regard to human life or quality of life.
I am actually glad that China has sent war ships to the area. I may have to reassess that later, but Chinese war ships might cause the Biden regime to reassess and back down from any schemes to send the US military into Syria, Lebanon, or Iran.
I believe that any US military expedition in any of those directions would be a huge and disastrous mistake.
The US military is already in Syria. It should be withdrawn of course.
You are spot on and most perspicacious.
WW3 at the horizon.
Then state of emergency. Suspended elections. Keep the status quo-money for the military complex and globalists. Advance wef goals. As Sundance would say, there are trillions at stake.
Anything to stop PRESIDENT TRUMP in 24 and allow freedom for the world and the people.
But more truth is coming out in the open and people are waking up to the reality of uniparty, deep state, politically motivated world events, and puppet strings hanging over political minions.
Next year, it’ll be a year to remember if we all survive it.
Let us pray for peace-within us, our nation and the world.
Hello my friend,
The illegal invaders/terrorist operatives will be unleashed in their millions on Heritage America. That is the plan, we can guess when.
Stalin said it first, so joey plagiarizes. Again.

I remember the movie, El Cid. Great flick with good actors. It affected me for a long time.
Unfortunately, we have no Cid, or maybe our’s is about to be locked up by the Dems. We instead have a fake, weak, stupid, corrupt knight riding to battle on Rocinante, our steed military is more woke than fit to fight, half are reported to be obese and unfit. Austin and Milley wasted $billions turning our military into a woke, unfit gaggle of social experiment all while we just watched and shook our heads and our politicians profited with $millions off inside info and sales to lobbiests.
Anyone recall an article from a couple of weeks ago where the President of syria visited Xi? He took his wife and children on the trip and left his 3 kids there.
Any correlation? Seems he knew something
Incoming nukes?
This Iraq war veteran wishes for the days of President Trump!!! He would already have an attack submarine squadron trailing and tracking these ships every movement!!! Please bring President Trump back! I hope January of 2025 isn’t too late!!!🤔
Unfortunately for America, the DC and West and East Coast elites want Trump in prison. They fear he would disrupt their corrupt ways.
During Pres. Trump first term, China would NEVER DARE doing such a thing!
They don’t respect Brandon. They don’t fear Brandon. Brandon speaks loudly and carries a small stick. All of this makes the odds of SOMETHING happening.
Well, brandon mumbles loudly at any rate. . .
They also own Biden.
“Unknown origin, unknown target. The missiles entered the protection zone of the strike group, so we shot them down.”
And after 48 hours, they certainly know where these missiles originated.
Carriers in the region and nobody is keeping an eye on things?
Think about timing. Ship arrived in the nick of time to be able to intercept.
They knew the missiles would be launched.
So they knew who, where, when and even the planned path far enough in advance to get a ship through the Canal to the Red Sea in time to shoot them down.
They know exactly where the missles came from and who fired them!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
What is China going to defend Iran…
along with Lurch Kerry.
The number one war mongering nation in the world, the United States, should this conflict expand and include the likes of China and Russia (who we already are at war with) will have its trillion dollar navy obliterated in seconds by hypersonic missiles. Depopulation can be a bloody mess. Let us pray that saner minds prevail.
Very likely this is the case. China has had plenty of time to manufacture their hypersonic missile. They probably has a roomful by now. So much faster than sound, they will not be heard until they hit. Sitting on those carriers is super dangerous now. It appears the main deterrent might be the subs lurking deep carrying nukes with Xi’s coordinates, etc. But if that doesn’t work, with all their war preparation along the coast, they probably have taken measures for that exposure too. So, if the nukes fall on empty houses, what’s next. One side prepares, the other side rides old overconfidence.
Communist are defend Hamas andiran don’t matter what,
communist china love war also,
For years, I’ve heard that China is incapable of meaningful force projection outside of its home waters.
I suppose now we’ll find out.
FJB
You have been hearing Mis-Information.
In 2020 the Chinese Navy surpassed the USN in number of ships. China now has about 100 more ships than we do.
China can build ships faster than we can. There is no way we can catch up to them now. US shipbuilding has been in decline for many years. US ships are also getting “Long in the Tooth” For Example. The USS Eisenhower that is headed to Israel is about 45 years old.
You do not need Carriers to project power. Missile Frigates are where it is at. Smaller, faster, immense firepower.
These iceholes are always meddling where they are not wanted
China electronically fabricated (not printed) US currency in the Trillions of dollars and went industry shopping around the world, Wall.st got their cut converted it into hard assets and kept their mouths shut. China still claims to hold more physical US currency than is in circulation.
Yet we don’t tariff the hell out of them. Instead, we continue to promote “green energy” that only supports them. This is intentional and I think there will be another “embarrassing” moment for the US at sea.
I think you’re right. This is intentional.
We vaxxed our military with stuff that causes heart attacks in young men
We pushed for more queer soldiers
Our southern border is wide open and border Patrol is welding the gates open, cutting the barbed wire and busing flying military age males all over our country.
We left tons of military equipment in Afghanistan.
We depleted our strategic oil reserves and sold it to China.
We are funding everyone’s war and Ukraine corrupt government to launder money back to the worst Congress in the history of the United States.
We released money to Iran under Obama and Biden.
We are limiting our own people’s 2nd amendment rights.
Literally everything that has been done is detrimental to our safety and has softened us up.
I think they’re announcing their emergence as a world military power. What I don’t know is if this draws down on their ability to attack Taiwan for the time being.
Sundance you are SO amazing. Love you, MAGA Brother!
👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
The relieved Chinese Task Force will traverse the Suez with port of calls in Syria and then on to the Black Sea. And in the Med for farts and giggles,the Chinese Task force will harass the American Fleet. All in support of their Allies. . It’s a show of strength letting the world know that there is a new navy in town.
China believes that they can sink the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier with 24 hypersonic missiles.

Dont have to sink it. A missile hits in the Catapult, Elevators. Jet fuel storage. or propulsion/steering. Would totally disable it. If unable to launch aircraft a carrier is useless and almost defenseless.
We need the wisdom of Solomon, here.
US and China jointly bomb Israel/Palestine until they agree to stop being the world’s hemorrhoid.
The big cities will be have pro China protest soon and I will be not surprised in the least.
F the USA will the chant.
Notice how NO USA media has reported this development.
Also, how did it take 6mths to find out China had a naval base in Djibouti?
And that they are building up islands in the Maldives for more bases? Specifically near Diego Garcia…
To me, it seems that China is taking control of the oceans. They are acting as if they are the new super power in charge of the world.
I do not think China can pull it off in the end (although they can cause a LOT of damage in the interim)… their economy (GDP) is actually measured by debt. This is why they went 90 miles per hour building ghost cities all over the place. All that building meant their economy was “growing”. Now, the chickens are starting to come home to roost with the failure of the largest debtor in China… Evergrand.
HOWEVER, their belt and road means they will be owning a lot more sovereign assets around the globe – because not many countries can repay the debt incurred by having China come in and build infrastructure. As they fail to pay, China takes ownership of the assets used to secure the debt.
Is anyone aware of the EV related plants popping up around the USA (thanks to Biden’s CHIPS act)? China is building some of those factories and they do not hire locals – they bring in their own CHINESE workers! This is exactly what they have done throughout Africa – no locals hired, only Chinese workers.
Now they are buying up farmland all across the USA. Who will stop them? Sarah Huckabee Sanders has the historic distinction of being the very first Governor to put a stop to it in her State. Where are all the other Governors/legislatures?
They are making inroads to the south of us too.
I think a major conflagration is about to kick off… and it won’t be good for the USA, thanks to JoeBama and the enemies within every facet of the Fed bureaucracy. Our military has gone woke, our SPR has been drained (and he plans on draining it to the end apparently), the Federal Reserve plans on raising interest rates even higher… and half the world is pouring over the southern border.
What secrets did China learn from Biden? What did he give them for his riches?
Why did the FBI let this corrupt treasonous dude into the White House? THEY KNEW!
Perilous times ahead.
Found in the bin… 🙁
Thanks Ad rem… was wondering what happened to my post!

This is their best opportunity to get a peek at the USS Ford. Their fleet is short legged and cannot project any real power beyond their little lake (SCS). A destroyer and a frigate are not going to do squat otherwise.
The USS Ford was at port in Trieste Italy. Italy was the first Nation in Europe to join China’s BRI.
Chinese are all over Italy. If they wanted a close look at the carrier. Any Chinese spy could just go down to the dock and take a guided tour.
Good reminder.
This is why northern Italy got the Chyna virus badly-because the Chicoms influx to the Italian textile industry in the North. Italians too have a uniparty. And its fueled on cheap labor from the Chinese.
The chicoms are also all over former soviet affiliates, like the nations from the former Warsaw pact.
The global actors are playing both sides of the street. The global actors are getting “involved”. Nobody but the Americans are showing any “commitment”. I suspect American commitment will bolster Israeli resolve.
Many in the MSM will call Americans “Pigs”. The other global actors will be seen as “chickens”.
Everyone knows the “breakfast” story about pigs and chickens…
The Palestinian Brand is about to take a hit.
SLOWLY AT FIRST…THEN…
Is t it interesting that China wants a separate state for Palestine yet won’t allow Taiwan the same . Hypocrites
Need to read up on the latest from the far East … Taiwan and China Inc. are in discussions covering options for a “1-China”.
There would be allot of win-win advantages for China Inc. to allow Taiwan to exist according to the terms similar to the “original” Honk Kong AGREEMENT. Taiwan and the Global Financial Puppet Masters would would also benefit via a Taiwan not turned into cinders.
“…while sailors from both countries toured shops and even organized a basketball game, according to a state news agency.”
If that doesn’t sound “propagandish” I don’t know what does.
While smiling faced, jabbering Chinese” Tourists” walked around taking pictures of the hulking Carrier.
This article sparked an interest to refresh my knowledge of the PLAN (People’s Liberation Army-Navy).
One interesting note as I looked though the equipment list was that destroyers, frigates and corvets were all launched within the past 20 years (many at in more the 1-10 year time frame) sand ALL had a US-European hull form. They are all very capably armed with systems and senors nearly the equal of their US-G7 Counterparts.
They also have underway replenishment capabilities.
Plus, the PLAN has several modern domestically owned ship yards … as a bench mark, a 70,000+ ton aircraft carrier built by one of those yards is currently being brought into service.
The modern PLAN may not have near the operational experience of the US-G7 opponents but it is a force that should not be underestimated.
A note on their deployments … the location of China Inc. tasks forces aligns with either:
Defending China Inc.
Defending a China Inc. Commercial Interest (e.g. South China Sea and Mid-Pacific islands)
… or … being in position to impact a major economical line of communication worth $Trillions in business.
There is a 4th purpose not often discussed … a sacrificial asset located to deliver a strike vs a critical asset.
China benefits directly, winning the Israeli-Hamas war by weakening the top US ally in the Middle East
I am so sick of hearing this. The Palestinians/Arabs don’t want a two-state solution, how many times do they have to say they want it all before people believe them??? This two-state nonsense is only meant to restrain Israel.
I think most Treepers are aware of this. Biden, Xi, other heads of state only call for a two-state solution because they hate Israel.
As far as I’m concerned, China could move their whole navy to the middle east and engage the US Navy. The outcome won’t be pretty for the Chinese. Sure they have been blowing smoke for a couple of decades but have never been seriously tested in war. Their fleet sails around and plays games and threatens Taiwan but that is pretty much the extent of it, drill till there’s no tomorrow but the bottom line is they have NEVER been tested! I’ve served under 7 commands beginning with Vietnam. They for the most part have never been tested in naval warfare, it’s one thing to sail around in their new shinny boats and play games, but actual battle is entirely different.
Isn’t WW3 necessary to accomplish multiple goals?
And, let’s not forget the ultimate cover a world war offers… WORLD CURRENCIES FINAL DESTABILIZATION & CRASH FOLLOWED BY CURRENCIES RESET.
Keeping our collective eyes on the financial maneuvers across the globe will tell us when the BIG SCARE is necessary and near. [BRICS+]
‘Cunning panda’ has a domestic Uyghur problem to which a Gaza bloodbath could serve as a destabilizing rallying cry.
The trouble with the myopic America-First prism in all things is that not all foreign actions are calibrated with American reactions uppermost in mind, no matter how much we favor that
I’m sure there is nothing to worry about. I mean…. What’s the worst that could happen? /sarc
China is getting sensor platforms into position to watch and record and take notes to see which US and Israeli weapons systems work and which don’t, where the vulnerabilities exist. They are gathering intelligence so they can execute their surprise strike on Taiwan.
I see Winnie the Pooh has a rumbly in his tumbly for war.
What interests specifically is China planning on defending? Their own nimrod.
