Ships was China's Shandong aircraft Carrier it is the country's first Domestically built aircraft carrier and Second for the people's Liberation Army Now the Shandong conducted air Operations in Waters close to Japan's Okinawan islands and jet fighters and Helicopters took off and landed on the Carrier 120 times over the three days And operated within 143 miles of Japan's Mayoko Island now China released a Statement that they had succeeded in the Sealing off of Taiwan that Jets had live Ammunition now China launched the Exercises in response to the Taiwan President's meeting last week with U.S House speaker Kevin McCarty an encounter At Warren would provoke a furious Reaction the U.S which is repeatedly Called for China to show restraint Syntheticated missile destroyer the USS Milias through contest parts of the South China Sea now specifically they Pass within 12 nautical miles of Mischief Arif in the spotlightly islands Once a reef submerged at high tide and Where China has built an airport in Other facilities China claims these Contested Waters as its own the majority Of Nations viewed these contested Waters As international waters the U.S Navy Said this freedom of navigation Operation upheld the rights freedoms and Lawful uses of the sea they further
Specified that features like Mischief Reef that are submerged at high tide Internationally formed state are not Entitled to a territorial sea now this Maneuver by the U.S Navy was 800 miles From the Chinese operations near Taiwan And Japan but still it was enough to Immediately result in China's Condemnation of the ACT claiming that The vessel had illegally intruded into Its territorial Waters China and Taiwan They split at the end of a Civil War in 1949 and China views Taiwan as part of Its own territory and is valid to take It one day now the United States has Been a bit deliberately ambiguous on Whether it would defend Taiwan military Entirely but still it has sold weapons To the Taipei for decades to help ensure Itself defense and offer political Support and this same controversial Deployment of live assets and drills in Around Taiwan occurred when the last Speaker of the House visited Taiwan last August China has declared that it is Ready to fight so are we need closer to A confrontational or is this simply a Obligatory show of Forbes chess beating Between countries is China any closer to Invading Taiwan first it's not as Provocative as Russian missiles shooting Down passenger airplanes or fighter jets Dumping fuel on and colliding with Unmanned drones on the other hand it's
Just more of the same occurring daily in These highly contested Waters however in Escalation it's inevitable as these High-powered assets come closer and Closer to each other an increasingly Challenge each other's presence the Other notable fact is that a speaker of The house has met with Taiwan leaders Twice in a year's time there is Bipartisan support for the sovereignty Of Taiwan an advanced weapon systems Have been promised to Taiwan and some of That has been delivered and some has Only been promised obviously the intent In Taiwan is a porcupine strategy where It is so heavily defended with missile Batteries that an invasion by China Would be foolish the delivery Weapons Systems may have been delayed because of The need to bolster Ukraine against Russian aggression but not entirely the Weapon systems needed by the two Nations For their defense are different in Nature and pass through different Channels and exchanges there has for Years before the Ukraine conflict been a Backlog of promised weapons of Taiwan For years before the Ukrainian conflict And the delivery of these Weapons Systems further complicates U.S Relations with China which has most Likely been the main reason for delays Now clearly an escalation is occurring Here but the Chinese economy is still
Too yoked to the U.S economy for things To really escalate too much and in 2022 Despite increased tensions between the Two countries Chinese exports have trade Goods to the United States amounted to Around 536 billion US Dollars which is a Significant increase from 1985 levels When imports from China amounted to a Mere 3.86 billion US Dollars China and Bricks to which it belongs are not yet At a level to offset those hundreds of Billions of dollars and the US is very Dependent upon those cheap manufactured Goods and while tensions remain strained And may continue to escalate between These two Nations their economies at Least for the moment in the foreseeable Future prevent them from too large of a Conflict China doesn't want to lose its Favor nation's status with regard to its Tree with the United States and the United States does not want to tighten Its belt a few notches and suffered Through the hunger pangs of really Losing Chinese goods and raw materials Instead of an all-out armed conflict China and the United States notice Currently in their best interest to wait And see wait and see how the chips act Will impact China's development wait and See how Russia's invasion of Ukraine Pans out as a blueprint of sorts for the International community's possible Reaction to China's future invasion of
Taiwan wait and see how China can still Profit off Russia's enhanced needs and Possibly access a minimal and Resource-rich Siberian territories so While these recent Chinese and American Actions are provocative they aren't too Much of a cause for alarm while any ship Captain or Pilot might take their Activities a step too far barring a loss Of life there's not likely to be too Much more than heightened fits of Chess Pounding that said I have to admit that The fusion Maritime safety Administration announcement we reported Last week that they might begin boarding Vessels in the Taiwan Strait it could Really open a new potentially explosive Chapter to this conflict we're going to Continue to monitor this and we'll Prepare as if the flow of Chinese Goods Is coming to an end and it probably will One day what do you think are we edging Closer to a conflict in the South China Sea will China ever really try to Overwhelm Taiwan or will they try like Russia to erode the country from within And simply wait and see let me know your Thoughts in the comments section below Russia Ukraine The biggest news on the Russian Ukraine Front is the alleged leak of classified Intelligence documents from the United States within this Trove of documents Were purported files on the war in
Ukraine in the agreements between Nations not publicly declared this may Force Ukraine to postpone or recalculate Their decisions concerning its Counter-offensive the justice department Has launched an investigation into the Possible release of Pentagon documents Posted on several social media sites That appear to detail us and NATO Aid to Ukraine but may have been altered or Used as part of a misinformation Campaign now the existence of the Documents was first reported by the New York Times after several Russian Telegram channels shared five photograph Files relating to the invasion of Ukraine on April 5th at least one of Which has since been found to be crudely Edited the validity of the documents It's been challenged as they are altered In many respects like reducing the Number of Russian troop casualties and One spokesman for the Ukraine's Military Intelligence directorate wittingly Challenged the authenticity of the Documents by pointing out that the Russian special services most successful Operations have been taking place in Photoshop now if the documents do Contain classified information and I Would guess that it is a mix of Falsehoods and classified information it Does not appear that they have anything More than a month old Battlefield
Assessment but still the documents Continue to be released and discovered On channels as varied as Discord Twitter And 4chan the unauthorized disclosure of Highly sensitive information has alarmed Topped U.S security officials and allies With whom the U.S shares secret Intelligence and has led to referrals to The justice department for further Investigation after months of Attritional warfare in the East a Ukrainian counter offensive has long Been expected so far there does it Appear to be anything in those leaked Documents that would really dramatically Alter that counter-offensive Russian Forces continue their shelling to Destroy the depot with 70 000 tons of Fuel near zaphopharia and use guided Bombs against towns in the croissant Region it was confirmed through Satellite imagery that Russia has been Actively building a 45 mile trench Connecting villages in the zafaresia Region and that would all seem normal Except for the fact that the trench is Almost 50 miles from the front lines These trenches mirror similar trenches In Crimea and it assumed that they are a Fallback Final Stand position for Russian forces and while trench warfare Has long been a means of Waging War its Efficacy in an era of high-speed Precision drones it's going to be
Challenged still it is an acknowledgment On Russia's part that they could suffer Mildly from a Ukrainian offensive as They did just before winter when they Lost large swaths of occupied territory In the Belarusian president may be Becoming more uncomfortable allowing Russia to act upon Ukraine through its Lands the president recently requested a Formalization of guarantees that Moscow Would defend his country if it were Attacked and the matter has been Discussed between lucinko and Putin at The recent meetings but there is yet a Formal document in place in the war's Earliest days Minsk allowed Moscow to Use this territory for the launch an Ultimately unsuccessful assault on the Ukrainian Capital Kiev the Belarusian Polish borders about 250 miles long and Any significant aggression from Belarus Would likely be countered on the Sporter Which is now closed most of its border Stations New World Order we've mentioned this Tectonic shift in the world order Through several videos in recent weeks And months but it's worth pointing out Directly here again there's a power Struggle around the world with Nations Breaking away from the control that the US has had for decades after concluding His six-hour meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping French president
Macron emphasized the desire for European strategic autonomy he hopes That Europe produces dependency on the U.S and does it get caught up in Crisises that are not theirs he also Suggested that Europe should reduce its Dependency on the U.S dollar a key Policy objective of both Moscow and Beijing now macron's statement simply Voiced the actions happening on the World stage the recent Chinese broker Treaty between Saudi Arabia and Iran Really blindsided the US and pushed U.S Strength further from Center Stage the United States Central Intelligence Agency director expressed displeasure Saudi Arabia's recent reconciliation With Iran during this week's unannounced Visit to the kingdom according to the Report the CI director and the U.S Government's main concern was that Washington was frustrated at being left Out of regional developments and felt Sideline as a result There's also been indications that Saudi Arabia is preparing to normalize Relations with the Syrian regime of Bashar al-assad which would also put it At odds with the basic American foreign Policy stance in the region with these Two major foreign policy issues and its Partnership with Russia through OPEC Plus Saudi Arabia is clearly leaning Heavily towards a world where Russia and
China hold the majority of sway Admittedly it's kind of nice to see that Some other country than the United States finally is handling the Responsibility of babysitting Saudi Arabia the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Putin Xi Jinping and the Iranian supreme Leader Ayatollah all share a common Anti-western vision and coordinating Their efforts now is to encourage a Worldwide Schism the Ayatollah sees an Islamic civilization led by Iran a Russian Slavic civilization led by Russia and a Confucius communist Civilization led by China all at war With the Western Civilization now the Agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia Is not so in depth that it can be Interpreted as an orchestrated movement But still it does send a clear message To the world that there is a rising Polar opposite to Western influence and A western Force adherence to peace and Democracy Iran is more directly vested In bringing about an end to the U.S Power in the world Iranian media Recently expressed Readiness to invest In Iran's still oil and petrochemical Industries Russian presidential aide Gord Leviton currently on a two-day trip To Tehran met with the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Council and Discuss ways to thwart Western sanctions And it's clear that a separate poll is
