Russia Warns US Is "Playing With Fire" Over Sanctions
The United States has even hit a Chinese military organisation with punishing financial sanctions for buying Russian fighter jets and missiles.

Moscow:

Moscow said Friday Washington's latest raft of anti-Russian sanctions that also target China undermined global stability, warning the United States against "playing with fire."

"It would be good for them to remember there is such a concept as global stability which they are thoughtlessly undermining by whipping up tensions in Russian-American ties," deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said in a statement.

"Playing with fire is silly, it can become dangerous," he added.

U.S. sanctions China for buying Russian fighter jets, missiles
Lesley Wroughton, Patricia Zengerle

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the Chinese military on Thursday for buying fighter jets and missile systems from Russia, in breach of a sweeping U.S. sanctions law punishing Moscow for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

The U.S. State Department said it would immediately impose sanctions on China’s Equipment Development Department (EDD), the branch of the Chinese military responsible for weapons and equipment, and its director, Li Shangfu, for engaging in “significant transactions” with Rosoboronexport, Russia’s main arms exporter.

The sanctions are related to China’s purchase of 10 SU-35 combat aircraft in 2017 and S-400 surface-to-air missile system-related equipment in 2018, the State Department said.

Honestly, this does make me wonder. Not that I think we are being careless (I do not know) but straight-up,  I have never seen a situation like this at all. And yes, this is about someone protecting their country. Again, I'm not expert for certain.

So what exactly is China going to do?

Besides bluster over an empty gun?

They go broke long before we do, and their Communist Govt could go down with it.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Impressive, but so was their Olympics ceremony in Beijing.  They even look somewhat similar, lots of individuals in nice attire orchestrating in precision.

What I saw when visiting for a month in China was hundreds of their military conscripts being used as servants digging alongside a road with spades, just like the old chain gangs of the South.

No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington
