Military
armaments towards a frenzied course in the new Cold War era

As
the US seek to isolate China, it seems that the Chinese are turning
to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), seeking
to shield their inner security. The US moves in Asian Pasific
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/cold-war-20-updated-report-new-evidence.html),
show the ultimate target.
It
appears that the SCO formation in 2001 was another tactical win by
the Sino-Russian block, against the - occupied with the war on
terrorism - West, to be used against future plans by the global
neoliberal dictatorship, which would probably include the dissolution
of the vast Russian territory and the dangerous isolation of China by
land and sea.

“From
August 24-29, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) held
'Peace Mission 2014' at China’s Zhurihe Training Base, in Inner
Mongolia in North China. Peace Mission 2014 was the largest
military exercise conducted by the SCO, with five of the six
member countries participating (China, Russia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan but not Uzbekistan).”
“The
new Chinese leadership seems eager to cultivate defense ties with
Russia. During Xi’s March 2013 Moscow visit, when he became the
first Chinese president to visit the Russian Armed Forces
Operational Command Center, Xi said that, 'My visit to the Russian
Defense Ministry is intended to confirm that military, political
and strategic relations between the two countries will strengthen
as will cooperation between the Armed Forces of China and
Russia.'”
“At
the time, PRC Defense Minister General Chang Wanquan told his
Russian counterpart, General Sergei Shoigu, that 'China is ready
to work with Russia to tap that potential and expand the scope of
bilateral defense co-operation, so as to lift it to a new level.'”
“At
the beginning of Peace Mission 2014, General Valery Gerasimov,
chief of the general staff of the armed forces of Russia, said
that, 'Russia is ready to make joint efforts with China to lift
the relationship to a new high.'”
“NATO’s
decision to suspend military cooperation and contacts with Russia
following Moscow’s annexation of the Crimea is leading Moscow to
place more emphasis on strengthening security cooperation with
Beijing.”

The
recent common military exercise by the SCO countries, was not only a
message to Washington, but also a real test against provocative
actions inside the Chinese territory. As the neocons have foolishly
opened fronts in the Ukraine and Middle East, the Chinese probably
fear that they may use other alternatives to weaken country's
coherence, exploiting probably semi-autonomous regions.

It would not be the first time of using such tactics after all. The
nature of this exercise justifies such possibility.
Meanwhile,
as the US see the global balances changing fast against them, any
"confidence" left between the Sino-Russian and Western
block, vanishes, leading to a dangerous frenzied race of military
armaments from both sides:
“US Navy’s top Atlantic
Submarine Force commander Adm. Michael Connor has warned that
Russian and Chinese naval forces are becoming capable of attacking
American bases.”
“About China, the admiral said
the world has become multi-polar and the United States has
competition for global influence and power from a rising China.”
“Connor added Moscow and
Beijing are committed to have an undersea nuclear deterrent
capability with a strong naval component.”
“Chinese officials believe
Washington is seeking an excuse to upgrade the country’s nuclear
arsenal.”
“Experts warn that President
Obama’s 'pivot' strategy towards Asia and the US military
buildup in the Pacific could lead to a potential clash with China
and Russia.”

Unfortunately,
as it looks in this case, history indeed repeats itself.
