(Video Incl.)Western nations on edge as signs of a power block(economically & militarily) is being formed by Russia & China

Greetings,

power3( Hiram’s Note: Notice how these naval war games are coming at a time when America is conducting war games with Israel in the Mediterranean Sea….Jordan in The Middle East, and NATO nations in the Baltics and Black Sea? This is a sign of geopolitical Unity.

You can believe that even as Western nations are publicly ignoring it or downplaying them, they are in the bowels of power trying to figure out something because they know that any military block with these two powers, Russia and China, as the cornerstone is unbeatable by the West.

power2This also comes on the backdrop of massive economic deals that will be signed during Russian President Vladamir Putin’s visit to Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi in a historic meeting where the stakes could not be higher economically, militarily, industrially, and politically.

China, Russia to launch joint naval drill on May 20

China and Russia say they will hold a joint naval drill in the East China Sea to improve their ability to cope with maritime security threats.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to oversee the start of the week-long exercises, dubbed Joint Sea 2014, on May 20.

At least 16 Chinese and Russian warships, including two submarines, will take part in the drill. The military maneuvers will include simulated attacks, escort of ships, and search and rescue operations.

Putin, who is due to arrive in China on Tuesday on an official visit, said in an interview that Russia-China ties have reached their highest level in history.

During his two-day visit to Shanghai, Putin and his Chinese counterpart will sign several deals, including a landmark gas deal crucial for Moscow as Europe seeks to cut reliance on Russian oil and gas.

The military maneuvers come amid simmering tensions between Russia and the West over the crisis in Ukraine.

China has also been involved in a long-running dispute with Japan over the sovereignty of a group of islands in the East China Sea.

Russia and China have regularly held joint naval drills since 2005 within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
