West Trembles In Terror As “Deadly Alliance” Causes “Tectonic Shift” In World Balance Of Power
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A compelling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first notes Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova most factually assessed about the just completed two-day state visit President Putin made to China: “The trip laid the groundwork for many years to come…These are momentous steps that will determine the future not only of our region, but also of the entire planet”.
Joining President Putin on his visit to China, this report notes, was Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who warningly declared: “Russia won’t view Western European countries as partners again for at least one generation” and revealed: “Chairman Xi Jinping’s initiative on global security was discussed during our visit to China at meetings both within the framework of delegations and at a meeting in a narrow group of leaders face to face…We see great reason that the practical promotion of the idea of ensuring global security would begin with the formation of the foundations of Eurasian security without any Euro-Atlantic flavor”.
Also joining President Putin on his visit to China, this report continues, were all of the top economists in Russia that form its government, including its newest official Defense Minister Andrei Belousov, about whom the leftist New York Times profiled today in its article “The Technocrat Who’s Taking Control Of Putin’s War Effort”, wherein it cites him predicting: “The new normal in Russia, with restrictions and geopolitical pressures, would last at least a decade”, reveals about him: “He has the clean image of an expert, largely untainted by scandal, and has openly embraced the Russian Orthodox religion — a major part of Mr. Putin’s campaign for family values”, and factually observed: “Mr. Belousov also earned a reputation as a good forecaster…A prescient manuscript he released in 2005 warned of an increased likelihood of a financial crisis in 2008-2009, in part from a cyclical wave of defaults in high-risk financial instruments”.
Because the Russian government is overseen and managed by top economists, this report details, the Federal State Statistics Service (ROSSTAT) was able to announce this week: “Russia’s gross domestic product grew by 5.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2024”—an announcement joined by the National Supercomputing Center of Tianjin in China releasing a study conducted by the Sino-Russian Laboratory for Assessing the Consequences of Intercountry Trade Wars, wherein it revealed: “The United States, Russian and Chinese economies could weather a full trade blockade with relatively little damage, while Germany, France and the United Kingdom would be badly hurt” and assessed: “The winner is the one who, in general terms, geared up for restrictions by localizing their production, or someone who will be able, for example, to abandon some imported components, parts, raw materials, equipment”.
With Russia being the largest nation on the planet having the world’s largest amount of natural resources valued at a beyond staggering over $75 trillion, this report notes, its low number of peoples able to exploit its vast wealth makes it a natural ally for its bordering neighbor China, which has the world’s second largest population but minimal natural resource wealth—facts well known to the late White House National Security Advisor and global strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski, who in his treatise “The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives” that has dictated American foreign policy for the past nearly 30 years, warned: “A grand coalition of China and Russia united not by ideology but by complementary grievances would pose the most dangerous scenario as far as threats to United States hegemony are concerned”.
Shortly after seizing power in January-2021, this report continues, Supreme Socialist Leader Joe Biden created “the most dangerous scenario” warned about by Brzezinski when he called President Putin “a killer” and vowed “he will pay a price” for supposedly interfering in the 2020 election—on 13 April 2021, it saw Socialist Leader Biden branding China as the number one threat to the United States—on 16 June 2021, it saw Socialist Leader Biden meeting President Putin at a summit in Geneva-Switzerland, where the Americans made clear they intended to take over all of Eurasia—and on 26 November 2021, the British warning article “How Russia’s ‘Deadly’ New Military Alliance With China Could End America’s Status As World’s Leading Superpower” caused the entire West to tremble in terror.
When White House National Security Advisor Brzezinski was writing his treatise that has dictated American foreign policy for the past three decades, this report concludes, he was aided by world-renowned CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who was the top intelligence expert on Russia-China relations, and from 1963 to 1990, participated in preparing for every American leader the President’s Daily Brief, and in his just released intelligence brief to the American peoples entitled “Russia & China — Two Against One”, he factually documented, assessed and warned:
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s extremely warm reception of President Vladimir Putin yesterday in Beijing sealed the increasingly formidable Russia-China strategic relationship.
It amounts to a tectonic shift in the world balance of power.
The Russia-China entente also sounds the death knell for attempts by U.S. foreign policy neophytes to drive a wedge between the two countries. The triangular relationship has become two-against-one, with serious implications, particularly for the war in Ukraine. If U.S. President Joe Biden’s foreign policy geniuses remain in denial, escalation is almost certain.
In a pre-visit interview with Xinhua, Putin noted the “unprecedented level of strategic partnership between our countries”. He and Xi have met more than 40 times in person or virtually. In June 2018, Xi described Putin as “an old friend of the Chinese people” and, personally, his “best friend”.
For his part, Putin noted Thursday that he and Xi are “in constant contact to keep personal control over all pressing issues on the Russian-Chinese and international agenda”. Putin brought along Defense Minister Andrey Belousov as well as veterans like Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and key business leaders.
Joint Statements Matter
Xi and Putin signed a strong joint statement Thursday, similar to the extraordinary one the two issued on Feb. 4, 2022, in Beijing. It portrayed their relationship as “superior to political and military alliances of the Cold War era. Friendship between the two States has no limits, there are no ‘forbidden’ areas of cooperation”.
The full import of that statement did not hit home until Putin launched the Special Military Operation into the Donbass three weeks later. China’s muted reaction shocked most analysts, who had dismissed the possibility that Xi would give “best friend” Putin, in effect, a waiver on China’s bedrock policy of non-interference abroad.
In the following weeks, official Chinese statements made clear that the principles of Westphalia had taken a back seat to “the need for every country to defend its core interests” and to judge each situation “on its own merits”.
Nuclear War
Thursday’s statement expressed concern over “increased strategic risks between nuclear powers” — referring to continued escalation of the war between NATO-supported Ukraine and Russia. It condemns “the expansion of military alliances and creation of military bridgeheads close to the borders of other nuclear powers, particularly with the advanced deployment of nuclear weapons and their means of delivery, as well as other items”.
Putin has undoubtedly briefed Xi on the U.S. missile sites already in Romania and Poland that can launch what Russians call “offensive strike missiles” with flight time to Moscow of less than 10 minutes. Putin surely has told Xi about the inconsistencies in U.S. statements regarding intermediate-range nuclear missiles.
For example, Xi is aware — just as surely as consumers of Western media are unaware — that during a Dec. 30, 2021, telephone conversation, Biden assured Putin that “Washington had no intention of deploying offensive strike weapons in Ukraine”.
There was rejoicing in the Kremlin that New Years’ Eve, since Biden’s assurance was the first sign that Washington might acknowledge Russia’s security concerns. Indeed, Biden addressed a key issue in at least five of the eight articles of the Russian draft treaty given to the U.S. on Dec. 17, 2021. Russian rejoicing, however, was short-lived.
Foreign Minister Lavrov revealed last month that when he met Antony Blinken in Geneva in January 2022, the U.S. secretary of state pretended he’d not heard of Biden’s undertaking to Putin on Dec. 30, 2021. Rather, Blinken insisted that U.S. medium-range missiles could be deployed in Ukraine, and only that the U.S. might be willing to limit their number, Lavrov said.
The Mother of All Miscalculations
When Biden took office in 2021, his advisers assured him that he could play on Russia’s fear (sic) of China and drive a wedge between them. This became embarrassingly clear when Biden indicated what he had told Putin during their Geneva summit on June 16, 2021.
That meeting gave Putin confirmation that Biden and his advisers were stuck in a woefully outdated appraisal of Russia-China relations.
Here is the bizarre way Biden described his approach to Putin on China:
“Without quoting him [Putin] — which I don’t think is appropriate — let me ask a rhetorical question: You got a multi-thousand-mile border with China. China is seeking to be the most powerful economy in the world and the largest and the most powerful military in the world.”
The ‘Squeeze’
At the airport after the summit, Biden’s aides did their best to whisk him onto the plane, but failed to stop him from sharing more wisdom on China:
“Russia is in a very, very difficult spot right now. They are being squeezed by China.”
After these remarks Putin and Xi spent the rest of 2021 trying to disabuse Biden of the “China squeeze” on Russia: it was not a squeeze, but a fraternal embrace. This mutual effort culminated in a Xi-Putin virtual summit on Dec. 15 of that year.
The video of the first minute of their conversation was picked up by The New York Times, as well as others. Still, most commentators seemed to miss its significance:
Putin:
“Dear friend, dear President Xi Jinping.
Next February I expect we can finally meet in person in Beijing as we agreed. We will hold talks and then participate in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games. I am grateful for your invitation to attend this landmark event.”
Xi:
“Dear President Putin, my old friend. It’s my pleasure to meet you at the end of this year by video, the second time this year, our 37th meeting since 2013. You have hailed … China-Russia relations as a model in international collaboration in the 21st Century, strongly supporting China’s position on safeguarding its core interests, and firmly opposed to attempts to drive a wedge between our two countries. I highly appreciate it.”
The Election
Putin has said he is aware that Washington’s policy toward Russia “is primarily impacted by domestic political processes”. Russia and China certainly assess that Biden’s policy on Ukraine will be influenced by the political imperative to be seen as facing Russia down.
If NATO country hotheads send “trainers” to Ukraine, the prospect of a military dust-up is ever present. What Biden needs to know is that, if it comes to open hostilities between Russia and the West, he is likely to face more than just saber rattling in the South China Sea — and the specter of a two-front war.
The Chinese know they are next in line for the ministrations of NATO/East. Indeed, it is no secret that the Pentagon sees China as enemy No. 1. According to the DOD’s National Defense Strategy, “defense priorities are first, defending the homeland, paced to the growing multi-domain threat posed by the People’s Republic of China”.
The Pentagon will be the last to sing a requiem for the dearly departed unipolar world. May sanity prevail.

Biden Commits “Blunder Of The Highest Order” On “The Grand Chessboard”
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, in furtherance of the Russia-China “no limits partnership”, issued a joint statement yesterday, wherein Moscow and Beijing agreed to take the acknowledgment of cultural and civilizational diversity as the basis for furthering dialogue, cooperation and experience exchange, says they also vowed to counter the deviant socialist Western colonial practice of politicization of culture and attempts at canceling the culture of certain countries and peoples.
Following the collapse of the former Soviet Union, this report notes, the United States needed a new global strategy to maintain its hegemony over the world, which was provided by the late White House National Security Advisor and global strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski, who, in his 1997 treatise “The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives”, methodically detailed the American master plan to take total control over Eurasia and its vital to the world natural resources, but warned: “A grand coalition of China and Russia united not by ideology but by complementary grievances would pose the most dangerous scenario as far as threats to United States hegemony are concerned”—are “complementary grievances” Supreme Socialist Leader Joe Biden provided by his warmongering and economic sanction polices against both Russia and China—which caused world-renowned American foreign policy strategist Michael Pillsbury at the Heritage Foundation think tank to just exclaim in horror about what Socialist Leader Biden has done: “To draw, to push together two nuclear powers, Russia and China, it’s really a blunder of the highest order…It’s one of the biggest blunders we’ll see in my lifetime”.
While “blundering” Socialist Leader Biden keeps upending “The Grand Chessboard” strategy of global American hegemony, this report continues, President Putin factually revealed to Chinese reporters: “Moscow never refused to negotiate, it was politicians in Kiev who withdrew from the negotiation process as soon as Russian troops were pulled back from Kiev…The next day they threw our agreements into the dustbin and said, ‘Well, now we will fight to the end’…And their Western handlers took the position now known to the whole world: Russia is to be defeated on the battlefield, to be made suffer a strategic defeat…We are not the ones who behaved this way”—a factual revelation joined by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin declaring: “The United States, with its Cold War-era mentality, bears an irremediable responsibility for the emergence and escalation of the Ukrainian crisis”.
Unlike the former Soviet Union able to discuss and negotiate critical issues with sane and rational Western officials to successfully avert a global nuclear war catastrophe, this report details, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov observed about what Russia faces today: “There are plenty of people among those in power in the United States and other key Western states, who are de facto provocateurs…They’ve made testing Moscow’s resolve the goal of their existence…Such individuals are political bullies, delinquents and members of teen gangs who reject any kind of rules…They are preoccupied with crossing any red line drawn by Moscow, regardless of the risk of this brinkmanship…As they please their own geopolitical notions, they bring closer the phase, in which holding control of events and preventing a catastrophic collapse would be very difficult…They live in a bubble and do not perceive outside signals that go against their preconceptions”.
Among those socialist Western colonial officials who “live in a bubble and do not perceive outside signals that go against their preconceptions”, this report notes, is NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe United States General Christopher Cavoli, who yesterday comically proclaimed about the new Russian offensive in the Kharkov Region: “The Russians don’t have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough…More to the point they don’t have the skill and the ability to do it”—a comical proclamation quickly followed by Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-In-Chief General Oleksandr Syrsky grimly revealing: “Russian troops have extended the front line of active combat operations by almost 70 kilometers in the Kharkov region to force Ukraine to use additional brigades from the reserves”—and was a “strategic breakthrough” of Russian military forces that caused American State Department spokesman Vedant Patel to factually observe: “Obviously the situation is incredibly dire”.
Following the “strategic breakthrough” of Russian military forces in the Kharkov Region, about whom living in a bubble of his own delusions NATO Supreme Allied Commander General Cavoli comically proclaimed “They don’t have the skill and the ability to do it”, this report continues, President Putin declared: “Ukraine is to blame for recent fighting in the area, as it unfortunately continues to shell residential blocks in the border areas, including Belgorod…Civilians are dying out there…Everything is crystal clear…They are firing directly at the center of the city…We publicly warned Kiev that Russia would be forced to establish a cordon sanitaire in the areas under Kiev’s control if the attacks continued…This is what we are doing…As for the capture of] Kharkov, there are no such plans for today”.
As for why the Russian military has no plans to capture Kharkov, this report concludes, is because it’s not fighting a war for territorial gain, but is waging a campaign of “aggressive attrition” to systematically deplete the military forces of the Ukraine Nazi Regime and obliterate its billions-of-dollars worth of socialist Western colonial supplied weapons—a campaign of “aggressive attrition” the Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced about today that over 1,330 Ukrainian soldiers on all battle front have been killed during the past 24 hours, then revealed: “In all, the following Ukrainian targets have been destroyed since the start of the special military operation: 600 warplanes, 274 helicopters, 24,111 unmanned aerial vehicles, 521 surface-to-air missile systems, 16,053 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,300 multiple rocket launchers, 9,607 field artillery guns and mortars and 21,753 special military motor vehicle”—is a campaign of “aggressive attrition” that follows President Putin proclaiming: “Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield…Well, what can you say here?…Let them try…Russia by and large hasn’t started anything seriously yet”, and yesterday he declared: “Russia will not yield to ultimatums from Ukraine and its Western backers as they try to gain diplomatically what they have failed to gain militarily”.
