World War 3 appears to be closer than ever before as tensions over the Russia – Ukraine conflict hit a dangerous boiling point.
Reports have surfaced revealing that Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked China for military support which would signal a serious escalation.
Beijing has already been working with Moscow on efforts to circumvent heavy sanctions levied by the U.S. and their allies, provoking a response from the Biden administration who said they will “not allow” any of this “to go forward.”
“We will not allow that to go forward and allow there to be a lifeline to Russia from these economic sanctions from any country, anywhere in the world,” National Security adviser Jake Sullivan said which indicates such a move would spark direct conflict with China.
All of this comes after the Kremlin warned that they are prepared to fire on NATO arms shipments pouring into Ukraine which could be used by NATO to have an excuse to publicly declare war on Russia.
Russia’s Deputy FM Sergei Ryabkov said on state TV that Washington had been informed in the last days that Moscow will see weapons supply convoys entering Ukraine as “legitimate targets.”
“We warned the United States that the orchestrated pumping of weapons from a number of countries is not just a dangerous move, it is a move that turns these convoys into legitimate targets,” Ryabkov said in the remarks, which served as a severe warning to the West.

JAVELIN in first cut. Notice the Turret blown off – by design. Notice also the Russian rifles (INFANTRY) do not attack the firing point to suppress add fires but keep running the opposite direction. Not good. @cspanwj @gregkellyusa pic.twitter.com/EZbcbhLfi1
