As tensions rise between the US and China over the Ukraine war, Russia and China are standing firm in their alliance. Defense ministers of both nations have emphasized their close bilateral ties, sending a clear message to the world. But what are the strategic implications of this military cooperation? And how does it fit into the larger geopolitical context? The US has long been the dominant power in the world, but this alliance between Russia and China is shifting the balance of power. As argued in my Russia book, The Dynamics of Russia’s Geopolitics: Remaking the Global Order, the importance of analyzing the Sino-Russian partnership centers on how this relationship will develop into a strategic challenge for the United States. That in turn will have serious consequences for the U.S. in Central Asia and the Pacific realm. Some argue that bad blood between Russia and China prevents them from coming together. While this assertion is true given the history between the two powers, coming together as one force makes sense for both Beijing and Moscow. The outcome: a direct global military challenge to the United States will then come from the north, east and west. With Russia's military might and China's economic strength, the US is facing a formidable challenge. This alliance could reshape the global order, challenging the US-led world order that has been in place since the end of the Cold War. As the US continues to bark at China over its stance on Ukraine, it will be interesting to see how this alliance plays out in the coming months and years.

Have you heard about Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to China? Mainstream media will have you believe that he is going to address the path to peace in West Asia, among other global issues. But let me tell you, it's all a distraction. The truth is the USG has no intention of truly addressing global issues. The US uses these high-profile meetings and trips to China as a way to distract the public from the real issues at hand. While they talk about peace in West Asia, they continue to fuel conflicts and wars for their own benefit. Don't be fooled by the headlines and the fancy speeches. Secretary Blinken's trip is just a facade, a charade to make us believe that they care about global peace and stability. But in reality, it's all about politics and power. So, the next time you see news about Secretary Blinken's trip to China, remember that it's just a distraction from the truth. Stay informed and don't fall for the smoke and mirrors!

Have you heard about Secretary of State Antony Blinken's upcoming trip to China? Mainstream media will have you believe that he is going to address the path to peace in West Asia, among other global issues. But let me tell you, it's all a distraction. The truth is, the US government has no intention of truly addressing global issues. They use these high-profile meetings and trips to China as a way to distract the public from the real issues at hand. While they talk about peace in West Asia, they continue to fuel conflicts and wars for their own benefit. Don't be fooled by the headlines and the fancy speeches. Secretary Blinken's trip is just a facade, a charade to make us believe that they care about global peace and stability. But in reality, it's all about politics and power. So, the next time you see news about Secretary Blinken's trip to China, remember that it's just a distraction from the truth. Stay informed and don't fall for the smoke and mirrors!

He was responsible for the capture in Pakistan in 2002 of Abu Zubaydah, then believed to be the third-ranking official in al-Qaeda. In 2007, Kiriakou blew the whistle on the CIA’s torture program, telling ABC News that the CIA tortured prisoners, that torture was official U.S. government policy, and that the policy had been approved by then-President George W. Bush. He became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act — a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in prison as a result of the revelation. Kiriakou is the author of eight books, including The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA’s War on Terror; Doing Time Like a Spy: How the CIA Taught Me to Survive and Thrive in Prison; The Convenient Terrorist: Abu Zubaydah and the Weird Wonderland of America’s Secret Wars; and The CIA Insider’s Guide to the Iran Crisis.
