More printed. Additional US billions are being spent to contain China

26
Republicans and Democrats in the US Congress were unanimous about one of the foreign policy issues. We are talking about the issue of countering China and strengthening the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. Those 700 billion dollars, which are sent to the military budget of the United States, seemed to Congressmen a little, but because they expressed the initiative to allocate additional 7,5 billion dollars. And the truth is, what is it trivial when the machine is still printing, and foreign countries will take care of the new US debt.


Legislative initiative is to increase funding in the framework of military-technical cooperation with Taiwan. For example, over the next five years, the US budget will spend one and a half billion dollars to "contain China", some of which will go to service military bases located in close proximity to the territory of the PRC (although Beijing also considers Beijing its territory).



The bill will also support regular sales. weapons Taiwan and funding patrols in the area of ​​disputed islands in the South China Sea.

Initially, the idea of ​​increasing funding for US military activities in the Asia-Pacific region came from Senator John McCain. This is reported by another senator - Corey Gardner, who actively supports the initiative. It is proposed to deepen cooperation with the Taiwanese partners in order to "prevent the spread of Chinese influence."

From Gardner's statement:
We are creating an ARIA project aimed at improving security in the APR.


Senators note that ARIA is reminiscent of a project to contain Russia in Europe.

By the way, the new bill excludes financing cooperation with the Philippines. The reason is the politics and rhetoric of the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte.

      Senator John McCain is the author of the idea of ​​additional financing to contain China.

        Joke remembered.
        The teacher asks the class the theme of a free essay, "What would I do if I won a million." All the children wrote quickly, one Izya writes, writes, writes ... Then he raised his hand, the teacher,
        - What do you want to say?
        - Can I add another 4 thousand?

        Victor, welcome hi
        Free money and the psychology of competency play a trick on mattresses. The more they put pressure on centers of power, such as Russia and China, which they consider geopolitical competitors (they are), the more competitors will have to strain and develop in order to level their forces, both in the economy and in the military sphere. That is, the United States is stimulating the development of its geopolitical rivals with its own hands. If the United States did not show hostility towards us and did not try to strangle us, then it would still rest on its laurels of primacy and exclusivity, and moderate comfort would be enough for us. But the United States is rushing to hostility towards us and China, and this brings closer the finish of their economic dominance. With military and political dominance, they are much worse ...

          hi Aleksey soldier
          That's right. The Yankees are strong, wealthy, etc. etc. .... they want to compress the “springs” to a crunch, to a break, but not every “spring” wants / can break, the steel is strong and the hardening is exceptional.
          What happens in such cases? The spring breaks out, straightens and ka-a-ak will light up the squeezer there, where it will have to, but so, Schaub specifically!
          Our spring can’t be broken, it can’t be like this, just to hold the braces, capital letters kept!
          And here I have confidence and no, I just hope that they will not fail, they will not surrender. we will not give in the end!

    At first, they will “restrain” the Chinese, and then realizing that the idea is stupid, they will start, as it was in Hong Kong, the “protests” of the same students - there’s not enough to invent something new! fool

    "It is proposed to deepen cooperation with Taiwanese partners in order to" prevent the spread of Chinese influence. "
    Here it is! They will overwhelm the independent Taiwanese with dollars so that they are meaner. The blue dream of our brothers is coming true for the Chinese brothers.

    Everyone is trying to restrain those who are not in their party and do not want to face them at the direction of the mud. Soon, the "restraint" will not stand. Greens can print of course, and then what?

    The USA and China are Siamese twins, if one head drinks, then the other also has a hangover. Everyone thinks: I’ll kill, but then the whole body will die. In general, a terrible symbiosis.

      In principle, China has the ability to "encode" the drinkers of the United States, but so far he hopes that they themselves will finish thumping. Judging by what’s going on, we can conclude that the United States has gone into the deepest binge and soon the orderlies will have to tie them to the bed. In vain they cling to China through Taiwan, in vain ..

    We have an eccentric letter "M" by the name of Kudrin. So he offers to invest our oil currency in American debt. They act directly together - in the US, money is needed to “fight” with China, and Russia is already in a hurry to offer them! ... I wonder how !! Does the Russian president know about this? And in China in the know?

    Yo-mayo, what a monstrous money they are cutting ...
    After all, there is no “containment”, they just chat on Twitter and Facebook, the maximum American boat rolls along the border of China and that’s it.

    And the officials and generals hid their loot.

    Ai-ai-ai, well, it’s not a shame to plagiarize, and even the very ones from yourself, but they are finely stealing ideas from Papandopulo from Odessa: "... you see the signature and everything else, take it, take it I'll draw for myself .. . "! Well, what is the US not a branch of "Weddings at Robin"!
