China is winning The Art of War through Russian energy
Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager
China is winning The Art of War.
China gains a strategic advantage from Russia’s hydrocarbon exports being redirected away from EU and toward non-EU countries at a discount.
● Energy security is an integral part of National Security.
EU has lost the game here.
Perhaps China blew up Nord Stream natural gas pipeline.
(I’m joking, it was obviously done by Western countries.)
But EU has shot itself in the foot with energy sanctions, and China is all too happy to secure cheaper, long term energy supplies which are now shunned by the EU Green New Believers cult of national self-destruction.

“A leading national security expert is weighing in on how the Chinese Communist Party is exploiting the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
“It’s a good question, because who wins the war against Russia, Ukraine? Who wins the war against NATO, the West, and Russia?
● China wins this war, because they let us go at each other,”
said K.T. McFarland, who served as President Donald Trump’s deputy national security adviser and also served in the Reagan, Nixon, and Ford administrations.
● “China knows the longer this goes on, the more the United States’ spending $100 billion a year [in Ukraine], the more we’re spending our resources in Europe, and the less we’re focused on China,” McFarland says. adding:
“So, meanwhile, China’s building up its own military.
It’s building up its own trade relationships with a lot of countries.
So, they’re perfectly happy with the United States to be preoccupied with Russia and Ukraine and not focusing on China—because, look,
● China’s the real gorilla. They’re the real strategic threat.”
McFarland joins today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to comment on
– how Ukraine can “win the peace” in its war against Russia,
– reports that China may be supplying Russia with lethal aid, and
– how to bring the threat of the Chinese Communist Party into focus for the American people. …”
