China is helping Russia ramp up its defense industrial base at such a large scale that Moscow is now undertaking its most ambitious expansion in military manufacturing since the Soviet era as it continues its war against Ukraine, according to senior Biden administration officials.

The support China is providing includes significant quantities of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines and technology for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose, which Russia uses to make propellant for weapons, said the officials.

Chinese and Russian entitles have also been working jointly to produce drones inside of Russia, one of the officials said.

    Calling out American hypocrisy is not allowed. That’s to be labeled “whataboutism” and then dismissed because reasons.

    Seriously though, I’m looking through these posts and seeing the same dumb bullshit that bush jr spewed about “axis of evil” being parroted unironically. There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, “Fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
