-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Sino-Russian Alliance Threatens U.S. Global Policies NewsMax.com Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2000 The increasing relationship between China and Russia spell trouble for the United States, a top foreign policy expert warns. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Paula Dobriansky, a vice president of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations, insists that the Chinese and Russians have formed a "strategic alliance" that has "major adverse consequences for international stability." Admitting that this fact flies in the face of the common wisdom that holds that the alliance is a mere marriage of convenience "with the two sides espousing divergent views on key issues," Dobriansky writes that even if the Chinese and Russians disagree on some issues, that gives America no reason to be complacent. Despite any differences that may exist between them, they share similar vital strategic concerns. Both, for example, deeply resent America’s dominant global power and the "growing U.S.-led international consensus" in favor of alleged humanitarian interventions. In fact, it was one of those "humanitarian interventions" that helped the two powers draw together. The U.S.-led war against the Serbs in Bosnia infuriated the Russians, who view the Serbs as fellow Slavs who live within Russia’s traditional sphere of influence. They viewed America’s intervention in Kosovo as an assault on Russian interests and as a warning that the U.S. has hostile intentions toward them. Making the situation even more difficult for the Russians was the fact that the U.S. sided with the Albanian Muslims since Moscow sees itself as being surrounded by Islamic fundamentalists bent on tearing the Russian Federation to pieces. The Chinese also saw the Kosovo intervention as a clear indication of U.S. determination to exercise its status as the world’s only superpower and impose its will on a sovereign state. The bombing of Beijing’s embassy in Belgrade further exacerbated Chinese anger over the intervention. The incident drove Moscow and Beijing into each other’s arms. Since that time, the alliance has taken on more substance, with the Russians supplying cheap armaments and munitions to the Chinese, enabling them to beef up their navy and air force and making them a greater threat to Taiwan. Moreover, Moscow has used its ties to Beijing to form a new alliance with the Central Asian republics and increase its influence in Asia. U.S. plans to build a national missile defense also helped to draw the two nations even closer, because both are vehemently opposed to such a development. Dobriansky notes that while the Sino-Russian alliance hasn’t got the strength to pose a real threat to the United States, it is in a position to thwart U.S. plans in a number of areas. "While Russia and China cannot match U.S. power, there is no doubt that, working together, they can cause much global mischief," she wrote. "Sino-Russian efforts can complicate our nonproliferation efforts, exacerbate regional problems in Europe and Asia and make the U.N. Security Council less willing to support U.S. initiatives. More fundamentally, this alliance provides impetus to other countries to oppose U.S. policies." The end result is that "for the first time since the Sino-Soviet military clashes of the late 1960s, two of Eurasia's major military powers stand united in opposition to the United States, ready to counter most of Washington's international endeavors," Dobriansky concluded. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
