Is Russia preparing for another offensive in its long-simmering war with Ukraine?
The Kremlin's massive military build-up at the Ukrainian border has sparked fears of renewed hostilities.

Russian forensic investigative group Conflict Intelligence Team, which made its name in 2014 by using social media to find proof of Russia’s military involvement in eastern Ukraine, began to notice an unusually widespread military movement about two weeks ago.

“We haven’t seen a build-up this massive since 2015,” CIT’s founder Ruslan Leviev told the Telegraph.

“This doesn’t look like military drills at all.”

In recent days Mr Leviev and his colleagues, with the help of Russia’s open-source databases such information about rail cargo, pointed to numerous military deployments moving across the country towards Ukraine including the shipment of T-72B3 tanks all the way from Siberia.

On Monday, CIT released photos and official travel logs, showing an elite paratrooper division from Pskov, one of Russia’s most combat-ready units, travelling by rail to the Russia-occupied Crimea.

The Turks cut the water supply to the Chinese embassy on Saturday. Anger over the mass rape and genocide in East Turkestan is the reason.

The Turks cut the water supply to the Chinese embassy on Saturday. Anger over the mass rape and genocide in East Turkestan is the reason.

Keep in mind that this is a feud between the CCP and the municipal government of Ankara. Erdogan had nothing to do with this.

Meanwhile, it's likely that Erdogan will side with the CCP on this matter, for pragmatic reasons. Although he too has voiced concerns about the situation in Xinjiang, his ideological leanings indicate that he is more concerned about building a pan-Islamic alliance than a pan-Turkic one. And because of the inevitable alliance between China and the (Sunni) Muslim world, more likely than not Erdogan will embrace the CCP as a necessary evil when push comes to shove.

This is interesting because you've described the issue from Turkey's
point of view, while from China's point of view, this is part of a
growing political disaster.

Consider the following: Erdogan has nothing to do with this, as you
say, even though the Chinese Communists are arresting, beating,
torturing, sterilizing, raping, and enslaving millions of Muslim
Turkic people -- the Uighurs -- Erdogan's people. How is that
possible?

But this crisis erupted despite Erdogan's desires, and because the
Chinese Communists cannot tolerate even a mention of the Uighur
enslavement.

So several minor Turkish politicians criticized China's Uighur policy.
Instead of simply ignoring these "nobody" politicians, the infuriated
Communists in Ankara's Chinese embassy had a hysterical response:

"The Chinese side resolutely opposes and strongly
condemns any challenge by any person or power to China’s
sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Chinese side reserves the right to a justified
response."

What the hell was the Chinese embassy talking about? So no "person or
power" is permitted to criticize any of China's policies? Are you
kidding me? So the embassy responded with what many people thought
was a threat, and this infuriated a lot of Turkish people, leading to
the shutdown of the Embassy's water supply.

So here's the problem for the Chinese Communist government:

• Everybody in the world knows that China is committing crimes
  against humanity against the Uighurs, just as the Nazis did against
  the Jews.
• But the Chinese cannot tolerate anyone even saying so, and they're
  willing to use threats, bribery, extortion and boycotts to force
  governments to keep quiet about the subject.
• But that can't stop individuals, like the Turkish politicians,
  from speaking out, and the Chinese cannot tolerate even that. Hence
  the threat from the Ankara embassy.

So this puts the Chinese Communists into an impossible situation,
since they can threaten, extort and bribe individual governments,
but they can't do the same to every person in the world who
might speak out.

There's another angle to this: censorship. Are the diplomats
in the Ankara embassy even aware of China's enslavement of
the Uighurs?

In America, most Democrats are totally ignorant of many things that
have been going on, because they depend solely on mainstream media
that reports only what the Democrats want people to know. Last year,
individual Democrats were totally ignorant of the antifa-blm violence
in multiple cities, the Hunter Biden laptop, and the massive voter
fraud in the election. This year, they're totally ignorant of the
massive humanitarian catastrophe on the southern border, where young
people are being packed together in "pods," where Covid is spreading
without control, and where rape and sexual assault are common. Both
sides of all of these issues were reported continually on Fox News,
but unless a Democrat watches Fox News, he's aware of only the narrow
censored version of the news that the mainstream media provide.

So I'm speculating that the same thing is true for the Chinese
diplomats in the Ankara embassy. Do they ever read/watch the BBC? I
assume not, since the BBC is banned in China, and the BBC's Beijing
correspondent John Sudworth was recently forced to flee with his
family to Taiwan for their safety. So it's doubtful that the Chinese
diplomats are aware of China's Uighur policy, and they probably only
read the "Chinese mainstream media," which means state-sponsored media
like People's Daily.

So the Chinese Communists are making the same kinds of hysterical
statements about the BBC as the American Democrats are saying about
Fox News. The Chinese Communists hate the BBC for the same reason
that the Democrats hate Fox News -- for telling the truth about news
they want censored.

So that might partially explain the hysterical response by the Ankara
embassy. These people have no clue what's going on in China, just as
most Democrats have no clue what's going on in America, and so when
the Turkish politicians complained about China's Uighur policy, they
may have thought that the Turkish politicians really were lying.

In America, the Chinese face a similar problem. Many Republicans are
talking about China's horrific Uighur policy, but this is censored by
the mainstream media that Democrats read. So you have this bizarre
situation where Major League Baseball is condemning Georgia for a law
they haven't even read, but they're perfectly comfortable being in bed
with the Chinese Communists killing democracy in Hong Kong and
enslaving millions of Uighurs.

If we look at trends, the Uighur issue has been getting more prominent
all the time. I've been writing about it for years, but the public
worldwide didn't care. Now it's becoming increasingly discussed in
America, and in the UK and Australia it's become a major political
issue. I beieve that it will be a major political issue in America
before long, like the UK and Australia, especially as the Beijing
Olympics approaches.

Guns of April and Global War

Russia has been very clear. It will not allow Kiev to reacquire Crimea or the Russian-aligned breakaway proto-states of Luhansk and Donetsk. It has responded to Ukrainian President Zelensky's signing of Decree No. 117/2021 directing the Ukraine Army to recapture and reunify these areas by flooding the Ukraine-Russia border with weapons, troops, tanks, and elite paratroopers. Russia is ready for war.
China has been very clear. It considers Taiwan a renegade province and the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea and the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea as territorial possessions. It has promised to use military force to safeguard these claims and has built artificial islands in disputed territorial waters and sent fleets of "fishing vessels" to surround disputed island chains. China is ready for war. And Taiwan is ready, too.
Israel has been very clear. It will not allow a nuclear-empowered Iran to become a Damocles sword threatening Israel's very existence. Israel is ready for war.
How will Joe Biden respond to these three powder kegs? The more important question is this: Is his mind so trapped in last century's geopolitics that he's now overestimating American strengths, miscalculating other nations' resolve, and stumbling headfirst into global conflagration?

Americans have been taught to hate their own country. America is "the most corrupt, the most evil, the worse place" on Earth. Why should Americans fight a war to defend it? I refuse to sacrifice my life for a group of people that hate America. I will not fight, even in defense of my homeland. I quit.

I have walked away, and I will never look back.
