China constantly violating Taiwan’s airspace and threatening to eventually invade Taiwan. Russia amassing troops on Ukraine’s border and likely will invade Ukraine. Why is this all happening. What has exactly changed in the past four months. Could it be that the Chinese and Russians have no fear or respect for the current senile old fool residing in the White House. Could that be the reason...Just putting out there...what are your thoughts.

Do you think? Nah... Must be some other reason.

I just hope that Harris/Biden doesn’t get us into major war for showing how incompetent they are.

China, Russia and Iran know that Biden or whoever is in charge is weak and unable to challenge them... Heck, Biden can’t string two sentences together in a clear manner and Harris is too busy laughing at serious issues, while eating cake... The American people are screwed!!

Biden is in China's pocket. After all they pay him plus his nick name isn't China Joe for nothing. Now, Russia is going to be an issue for Heckle and Jeckle. However, China Joe's bagman, Hunter, took a 3 million dollar bribe from Moscow's mayor's wife. What kind of favor's that bought is a mystery. You'd think the FBI would be all over it but they're not. Absolutely astounding.

Discussing China will take a bit longer. This is why I know regarding Russia.

Geopolitics. Russia's warring in Ukraine is basically irredentism. Crimea and the Donbass region are areas that were/are associated with Russians, but located in Ukrainian territory. This is why Crimea got annexed. This is why there is a war in the Donbass. Donetsk People's Republic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donets...e%27s_Republic

Putin said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a catastrophe. Putin isn't thrilled about former Eastern Block countries joining NATO countries. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, basically most of the former Eastern Bloc, want more ties with the EU/the west. Many are part of NATO. Before 1990, the Eastern Bloc was a buffer between the USSR and NATO. Now, Russia borders several NATO countries. Putin doesn't view America as an ally, and is weary of American diplomatic influence in eastern Europe.

And historically, there is a mentality of the Russian government to be an aggressor for the sake of thwarting being a victim of aggression. To learn more about this, watch Caspian Report.

Note: I'm not pro-Russia or anti-Russia. This is merely a geographic/geopolitical explanation.

Could be they see Dopey Joe as a pushover like Obama was but more likely they just want to engage in theatrics while they cut backroom deep state deals. Now that trump is out of the way, the deep state will be in the business of making themselves more rich and powerful at the country's expense.
