(Exclusive) “A prolonged and expanded Russia-Ukraine conflict will…increase the risk of a runaway control and nuclear crisis.” That’s a direct quote from a December 17 article (“US prolongs Russia-Ukraine conflict for three aims, aggravates nuclear war risk: experts at GT annual forum”) by Global Times, a state propaganda outlet of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This is the second time the CCP has warned the US of nuclear war. To be fair, to a certain extent, the CCP is merely blustering, especially since it is dealing with (or rather violently crushing) mass protests in its own country.
But the US had better beware of pushing China and Russia too far with its idiocy surrounding the Ukraine conflict. It is better not to antagonize an enemy (China) that told its people in 2019 it was at war with you, particularly when that enemy is the greatest mass murderer of all time.
