China and Russia state openly what might lead to war between their nations and the USA

 

The former intelligence professionals who write at Metallicman have identified "causes for war" that both China and Russia have openly stated.

Casus Belli – a cause for just war.

Unannounced, and missing from all the Western Op-Ed’s is what has already transpired this late February 2023. Both Russia and China have directly laid out Casus Belli statements against the United States.

This fact should scare the living daylights out of you.

Really.

It should.

. . .

China released a Global Security Initiative (GSI) Concept Paper on Tuesday 21FEB23, fully elaborating a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept and providing China’s wisdom in tackling growing risks and challenges in traditional and non-traditional security areas.

. . .

[China's paper concludes:]  While a just cause wins its champion wide support, an unjust one condemns its pursuer to be an outcast. The hegemonic, domineering, and bullying practices of using strength to intimidate the weak, taking from others by force and subterfuge, and playing zero-sum games are exerting grave harm. The historical trends of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit are unstoppable. The United States has been overriding truth with its power and trampling justice to serve self-interest. These unilateral, egoistic and regressive hegemonic practices have drawn growing, intense criticism and opposition from the international community.

Countries need to respect each other and treat each other as equals. Big countries should behave in a manner befitting their status and take the lead in pursuing a new model of state-to-state relations featuring dialogue and partnership, not confrontation or alliance. China opposes all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and rejects interference in other countries’ internal affairs. The United States must conduct serious soul-searching. It must critically examine what it has done, let go of its arrogance and prejudice, and quit its hegemonic, domineering and bullying practices.

. . .

Russia’s casus belli for war in Ukraine are numerous and Russia keeps promoting new ones as the war unfolds. The main ones leading up to the war were the genocide in separatist-held regions and NATO expansion threatening Russia. A couple of weeks ago, Russia added the development of WMDs in neighboring provinces as another reason the war is justified. Many of Russia’s casus belli that it has supported reeks of American foreign policy that we all have intimate knowledge of in the last 30 years.

. . .

These are formal Casus Belli statements against the United States.

You might not like the fact that these were made, or Russia or China (the six years of anti-East propaganda makes sure of that) but, you must face the reality. The United States is waging war. It is targeting both Russia and China simultaneously, and the leaders in those countries are not asleep. They know exactly what is going on.

Whether it emerges into …

• Status quo
• Accelerates into something far worse
• Nuclear world war 3

makes no difference. We are at the critical pivot point, as I have said in all my writings, and it is exactly on time.

There's much more at the link.

This is seriously worrying stuff.  Russia and China are already in a state of economic war with the USA.  Russia's in a shooting war in Ukraine in which the USA is the principal supplier of weapons to its opponent - only one or two small steps away from US armed forces actually getting involved in the fighting.  China has ambitions to reoccupy Taiwan, and would probably have done so long ago if the USA had not guaranteed Taiwan's independence.  Both Russia and China see the USA as their main geopolitical and military rival, and I'm sure they're talking together about how things might go if they teamed up to "dethrone" the USA from its current global supremacy.

We are not far from war, unless politicians on all sides come to their senses.  I'm reminded of the months before World War I erupted, when diplomats all over Europe could see events unfolding, but proved incapable of "connecting the dots" and realizing how fast everything could - and did - collapse into open war.  Eventually the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Grey, would state somberly, "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime".  How close are we to that becoming true again - and this time worldwide, not limited to Europe?

I've seen war.  I bear its scars to this day.  I would greatly prefer never to see it again, particularly because I trust the current crop of Western politicians - including our own - about as far as I can throw them.  I don't believe they're trustworthy arbiters of when - or if - war may be necessary.
