Russia and China increase military cooperation as Eurasian Economic Union expands with Kyrgyzstan

http://www.valuewalk.com/2015/08/what-should-u-s-do-about-china-russia-alliance/

Russia and China are increasing military cooperation and some are concerned how the USA could be impacted:

August 20, 2015

The U.S. has little time to come up with a well-defined plan on what to do about the relations between Russia and China that are getting more intimate by the second…the Russian and Chinese navies will hold their largest joint military drills called ‘Joint Sea 2015 (II)’ to take place from tomorrow (August 20) through August 28.The drills will be held in the Sea of Japan and is an extension of Joint Sea-2015 (I), which was the naval drills held by the two countries in the Mediterranean Sea back in May. Japan, the U.S. ally in Asia, is on full alert about the exercises being so close to its shores.

The week-long exercises will involve seven Chinese warships, five warplanes, six shipborne helicopters, 21 amphibious vehicles and 200 marines. From the Russian side, there will be 12 naval aircraft, 20 battleships, nine amphibious vehicles, two submarines and 200 marines.

It must be noted that the Chinese Navy has not conducted any military drills in this area before. Over the past decade, Beijing and Moscow have held five major joint military drills.

Strategic foolishness of the U.S.

As for the economic cooperation, China and Russia recently announced they will unite China’s Silk Road Economic Belt with Russia’s Eurasian Economic Union in order to fully integrate Eurasia.

Authors of the article cited by Pravda.ru note that some aspects of the cooperation between Moscow and Beijing pose certain threats to the U.S. For example, both countries support the notion of “cyber sovereignty,” which tightens the grip of the governments over Internet activity in their territories, thus destroying the notion of “free and open Internet.”

In addition to that, the fact that Russia is delivering modern S-400 surface-to-air missile systems to China can disrupt plans of the U.S. military in the Asian-Pacific region. http://www.valuewalk.com/2015/08/what-should-u-s-do-about-china-russia-alliance/

Russia has also been working at getting more actual members in its Eurasian Economic Union. Here is a report about the latest official addition:

Kyrgyzstan has become a full-fledged member of the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union (EES) after it formally abolished customs controls along its border with Kazakhstan.

Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambaev and Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev took part in a ceremony marking the development on August 12 via video link from a resort where the two have been meeting near Lake Issyk-Kul in northern Kyrgyzstan.

“Kazakhs and Kyrgyz are brotherly nations and therefore there should be no boundaries, no barriers between them,” said Atambaev, whose country joins fellow former Soviet republics Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia in the grouping.

Nazarbaev said Kazakhstan wishes “peace, stability and prosperity to the nation of Kyrgyzstan” and “will continue supporting its brotherly nation by all possible means.” http://www.rferl.org/content/kyrgyzstan-eurasian-economic-union/27184629.html

Although Vladimir Putin’s Eurasian Union, now called the Eurasian Economic Union, does not have much respect in the West, the reality is that China and India are looking at it as are other nations.

The USA is concerned about China and Russia and that is part of why it has been implementing its so-called ‘Asian pivot’ strategy as advocated by former US Secretary of State, now presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. This ‘Asian pivot’ strategy has greatly concerned the Europeans who are trying to decide how to live WITH Russia, while also trying to figure out how NOT to be subordinate to the USA (see http://www.courcyint.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&Itemid=6&id=65978&full=true&uid=55646&acc=1&cat_id=798851). Europe is considering how to better arm itself, and that will not end well for the USA militarily per Daniel 11:39.

Russia and China also want to dethrone the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. When the USA dollar loses its dominance as the world’s reserve currency, this will mean high inflation and ultimately disaster for the USA–and its debts will be a factor (Habakkuk 2:6-8).

The current world order dominated by the USA, and formerly by the UK is being changed. The Bible shows that the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) is getting nearer–and that will greatly affect the USA. The Bible also tells of the final time of the Gentiles. (Luke 21:23-24; Revelation 11:2).

While Russian-Chinese cooperation is not, of itself, the cause of the end of the USA, these Eurasian powers do want to see the end of USA dominance in the world, both militarily and economically, and that will happen–though it will be a European power that causes the military takeover (cf. Daniel 11:39).
