As a Brit, I thought a brushback was what I used to do when I had hair.

There might be some Mongols, from Inner Mongolia, mixed in with the Han Chinese forces in Belarus.

Also, this recent event, first China-Mongolia joint army drill:

WW1 war fever with nukes. This won't end well. If you are lucky enough to live in Southern Hemisphere you may still be killed by nuclear winter. Get right with God before it's too late.

Could be that Nato was planning something this month. Maybe the Chinese are trying to play the part of the war spoiler. For who in NATO would be crazy enough or brave enough to attack Russia if Chinese troops were in the zone of confrontation?

Not having access to TS material increases the difficulty to see the real situation or motives behind a Nation States actions. The question becomes when were these joint exercises planned? Was it months ago? If so, the postulation above is not valid. But if it was just recently announced , then the question remains, .....Why? And are we truly seeing the "real"reason or is there another undercurrent that we are not seeing?

I think the length of the drills--11 days--is unusual and lends weight to what you're saying.

We really needed Henry Kissinger to live another fifteen years.

Why? Kissinger is/was part of the problem for our country.

He was a realist and would tell the neocons to grow up. He also worked hard to keep Russia and China from allying.

He's a committed Zionist.. The world did move on from the Cold War, The USA and the West did not so they found new dragons to slay.......Islam? Cui Bono?

Had the USA tried to befriend the Russians perhaps the problems we have with The Rus/China alliance today would not have occurred. We pushed Russsia, not the old Soviet Union, into the embrace of China.

On the Zhou front, there have been well sourced reports that when Zhou supposedly meets with foreign heads of state, Blinken has subbed for Zhou when the meetings fall outside the 10-4 window when Zhou is able to find his own ass. Purely a figure head. Dangerous situation. Politically and otherwise.

Yeh, and I don’t think any of these idiots realize just “how” dangerous!

You’ve got a senile pretend POTUS who decided it was profoundly Presidential to get into a pissing contest with his own party and some kind of “group” is actually running the country while the rest of the world laffs it’s collective ass off at us. What a perfect time to create some more foreign intrigue, and up the ante in a war that we have no chance of winning with a military alliance that couldn’t fight its way out of a Hong Kong whorehouse. Oh, and just for good measure, let’s really piss of Russia and China!! After all didn’t General Yellen say that we could fight multiple wars on multiple fronts and prevail? These people have elevated stupidity to an art form. I read somewhere online recently that the next 5 months may be the most perilous that the country has ever faced and I for one think that pretty well describes things.

Seems like an eternity until November.

I suspect that's why he's President. Alastair Crooke wrote a good piece that is in line with what you're saying at Strategic Culture:
