According to sources to the New York Times, the Biden administration tried to recruit China to help them convince Russia not to invade Ukraine. There was an entire series of meetings and even though China kept rebuffing the requests, they kept setting up meetings and passed classified intelligence on to the Chinese. At least one time and in all likelihood every time, they passed that intelligence on to Russia.
Weren’t they aware that Russia and China signed a pact to work closely together and have each other’s back? Pat, I’d like to buy a clue. Vanna, would you please see if there is a clue for The Big Guy. Sorry, I am afraid he is clueless.
This guy in the White House claims he has a fix for everything and yet he can’t even fix a sandwich. No liberal can. Why do you think they invented wraps?
For months, Biden and his minions tried to appeal to Putin, using the reasoning that if he invaded Ukraine they would lose credibility. A strange strategy from an administration that lost all of its credibility in the first six months. Try buying another clue.
The Times reported:
“After one diplomatic exchange in December, U.S. officials got intelligence showing Beijing had shared the information with Moscow, telling the Russians that the United States was trying to sow discord — and that China would not try to impede Russian plans and actions.”
The account indicates that the Biden administration began its farfetched, if not foolhardy, Chinese outreach following a video summit held between Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Nov.15. Over the course of the next few months, administration officials engaged China with similar diplomatic efforts as they did with Russia.
They warned that economic sanctions on Russia could hurt China, as well, and argued that because China was widely seen as a partner to Russia, its global image would suffer if it stood idly by while Russia invaded, the Times reported.
“But their entreaties went nowhere,” the paper added.
The account raises concerns about the White House’s naivety regarding Russia and China, the U.S.’s two strongest adversarial powers.
