The assassination of Vitaly Churkin served multiple purposes. The point is not to instigate a war with Russia, but to put the US into a position where it can't aid Russia in the event of Chinese aggression.
The Chinese currently have nuclear subs parked in the pacific ocean. By assassinating Vitaly Churkin, the deep state is trying to prove to Putin that Trump has no control over the US Government or CIA and the deep state is still in power.
Moreover, it places Trump in a position where he can't aid Russia in the event of Chinese aggression. If he allows the assassination to slide, Putin has to invest more forces in build up, assuming an attack is imminent. If he apologizes, he's labeled as an apologist and Russian plant. If he declares war on the Deep State, he gets kill.
Let's see if China has the motivation for war. With 10 times the man power of Russia, they're ideally suited for military action in Asia where their weakness (e.g., sea power) means little. They're economy is on the brink of obliteration, so they certainly have the motivation. If they instigate, Trump can't aid or risk being labeled an apologist, and if he follows through he risks nuclear war.
Alt-right, popular nationalism, and all other concerns aside, that could totally work. Once we're in a shooting war (especially if the goal is depopulation), all those ideals go out the window and the deep state wins.
That means the last 8 years HAS been to systimatically destroy the west through corruption of patriotism, open boarders, and the islamic distraction.
china's economy is on the blink of obliteration? can you elaborate?
Asher Hall
Bumped for interest, tell us more OP
Landon Thomas
Yeah, in the same way ours is. They're at credit capacity. If Trump actually starts a trade war, they'll be eating each other in a year. Their growth economy is totally stagnated and unsustainable
Jaxon Carter
I have no idea how McCain is involved, or if he's involved outside of being a gloablist shill. He's obviously important though, they risked his sordid past to prop him up, so he's involved somehow. I don't know enough about him
Oliver Moore
This post will make you dumber for reading it.
Brandon Murphy
Possibly, but the last time it was posted it slid in 5 minutes, so there's something in here.
What more do you want to know? Russia is a shitty shitty military to go to with war in the US. Besides nukes, they have what, ONE DIESEL aircraft carrier? It's better to cripple the US, or remove it from the fight than it is to actually go to war with us. Asia, especially as fucked over as it's been recently is a much better target.

>If he declares war on the Deep State, he gets kill. That's why he's been cleaning house. We're looking at a German Revolution style insurgency. He's got private security too. He'll be fine.
He definitely needs to back Russia on China though.

Wyatt Torres
We have no obligation to Russia
Camden Adams
He can't clean house against an airplane falling from the sky. Or a drone missile. I suspect the ONLY thing keeping him alive is the military is on his side and a civil war would be immediate. In fact, I STRONGLY suspect he knew this and started in roads with the military early to protect himself from the deep state.
Nolan Wood
It isn't obligation to Russia, it's russia is one of the last bastions of sovereignty. They've been the target cause there the only major hold out. Allies by necessity, nothing more.

No, I don't think necessarily Their incompetence is obvious. It's unraveling from what I can tell. Media control is failing, no one wants to go to war. They're going to desperately push it somehow. I don't think we're out of limited nuclear exchange territory.

china could activate their sleeper cells in the us
Jayden Hernandez
Okay, I'm not even looking at this from a political point of view, but purely from a military points of view.
You see this image? This is why China is never going to attack Russia.
The entire south and eastern borders of Russia are virtually impassible mountain ranges with NO INFRASTRUCTURE AT ALL. There are NO ROADS. NO PEOPLE. NO FOOD. NOTHING.
EVERY POTENTIAL APPROACH INTO RUSSIA FROM CHINA IS A CHOKEPOINT THE RUSSIANS CAN DEFEND, AND THE RUSSIANS HAVE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF MILES OF ROOM TO RETREAT WITHIN - EVEN MORE ROOM AND LESS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AN ENEMY TO USE THAN THEY HAD ON THE WESTERN FRONT
And that is before we even get to Russia's strategic nuclear arsenal, which rivals that of the United States.

op is a faggot >By assassinating Vitaly Churkin, the deep state is trying to prove to Putin that Trump has no control over the US Government or CIA and the deep state is still in power. this is the only relevant point in OP's post, the rest is worthless
>That means the last 8 years HAS been to systimatically destroy the west through corruption of patriotism, open boarders, and the islamic distraction. and this is a non sequitur
they have no sleeper cells in the us that aren't already actively stealing secrets which make them not sleeper cells
not to mention russia has actually used its military and knows how to do it
NUMBERS are only as important as what you can do with them. i have seen no proof china has any capacity to wage war beyond its borders or sphere of influence
Ian Nelson
Yeah, I suppose you'd have to go through afghanistan and iran, great friends of Russia. It's almost like the Ukraine being contentious is convenience, since it removes a front.
The purple contains the majority of Russia's population, infrastructure, industry, agriculture, and military bases. China has to trek across 3500+ km's of wasteland just to BEGIN threatening Russia's actual power and resources. The northern seas are underwater bastions that Russia is able to launch cruise missile and nuclear missile attacks from. The Ural mountains are littered with the largest underground bunkers and military bases in the entire world. The caucus region, Moscow, Belarus (and ukraine - but not since the coup) are the industrial and agricultural centres of Russia.
There is flat out no way that China is going to do fuck all with Russia. Even ASSUMING China won such a war, the territories they would gain would be cut off from Beijing and contain nothing but empty wilderness and undeveloped frozen wasteland.
The chinese gain nothing from attacking Russia. Chinese aggression is going to be southwest, south, and east: Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Australia. It is not going to be towards Russia.
Read the article I posted. The Chinese have superior airpower. This isn't world war II, this is the age of drones, cruize missiles, area denial, and advanced nukes. If China took Even the Caspian sea, would it be able to launch these at Russia's infrastructure?
Isaac Hughes
I did read what you posted and it's bullshit.
The guy is providing a lot of misinformation for retards to listen and believe about. His statements are obfuscation, misdirection, and bait.
Russia is under no existential threat from China unless the Chinese attack in coordination with western advances from Europe, and in that case the real problem is the western forces, not the chinese.
Don't be such a gullible retard.
Isaiah Phillips
Also, territory wouldn't be the point for China. When countries go broke, they go to war. If the slightest hint of stagnation enters the Chinese communist, they'll have their own civil war on their hands as the Communist Government is hanging by a thread. They're tolerated, but only so long as they keep the economy strong. I can find a source on this if you want, Id have to dig. I read it a while ago.
Joshua Morales
You didn't provide a counter argument, gimme some evidence. Nice call on the non-sequitor by the way, was just musing.

Sebastian Lopez
Russia would Nuke the shit out of china. Is this a fucking joke. If China tried to push from the fuckin east of russia russia would literally nuke their armies and irradiate all that worthless empty land they have and counter attack. It would be suicide for china.
Easton Clark
Africa is a lose-lose for anyone foolish enough to invest in its infrastructure. You should know this.

Adrian Jones
Yeah, but that's the point, depopulation, remember? The communist government would gladly sac 50,000 chinese and Russia's land to hold on to power.

Matthew Myers
Doesnt eastern russia have massive amounts of oil and other natural resources?
Parker Thomas
china is a paper tiger, its a well known historical fact that even if the chinese outnumber another force 1000 - 1 the other force is still more likely to win, because chinese are incompetent sub humans with no backbone and no taste for combat, it would probably be true with a million to one odds in favour of china and they'd still manage to fuck it up because they are essentialy fuck ups, they are basically a little bit better organized niggers, but niggers can actually wage a war, in some small sense. chinese are sub niggers
Eli Robinson
Well, not sure if this is legit or not, but looks like historical claim? And you might be on to something. Plus, it would give them a front with the US through Alaska
Yeah, actually found some confirmation on that. Again, wouldn't REALLY be a foot war, would be an air/drone/nuke war. Plus 10 to 1 is freaking enough. The parts outlined in this map:
between the lines is just open. There's no defending it if they don't hold that. Russia has no hope of slowing an advance between there in Siberia without a REALLY cold winter.
i don't believe this has to do with China for one second but yeah, no one seems to care about this story

Kayden Murphy
Slow your roll OP. WHO is going to invade WHO and WHY?
Thomas Baker
Alright. Reading the articles presented, I don't think the invasion angle makes any sense. Any serious hot conflict between the two would go nuclear.
And even then, Canadanon's explanation of why the logistics of an invasion are impossible are pretty straightforward.
You might be right about some of the motives about the assassination to cause a division, but you should complete a strong case for that, rather than jumping to war.
Kayden Perry
There's any number of strong cases, just difficult to distill:
1. Division of the two most powerful militaries in the world 2. Division of the two most powerful intelligence agencies in the world 3. Continuation of the war in the middle east (my understanding is it's over an oil pipeline route) and continued investment of forces there
I could go on, you have any suggestions?
Kayden Lee
>Andrei Karlov, Russian Ambassador to Turkey assassinated Dec 2016 >Vitaly Churkin, Russian Ambassador to UN assassinated Feb 2016 You can't assume anything, but let's just imagine that the two deaths are related. Why is it more likely that US and allies had them killed and not Putin, who is known to kill political dissenters? What could these two men have known that led to their needing to be killed?
Carter Price
It slid because no one gives a shit. No one is spamming to slide your garbage hypotheticals, dumbfuck. You're giving yourself too much credit.
Hunter Sullivan
If your referring to both publicly declaring that ISIS and extremist groups are state funded, it seems pretty extreme for something that's already in the open. Quit leading, and give me something concrete.

>Andrei Karlov Ok, both were vocal about syria specifically. So, I'm sure they both new ISIS is a US creation. You could kill them to discredit that, but Wikileaks has alluded they pretty much have that shit on lock, so that's not going to do any good. The only credible reason I can think of is to demonstrate the deep state still controls the US, and that they want Putin to make a mistake.
Parker Roberts
UNLESS the real story is Arab spring, and the fact we destabalized pretty much the entirety of the middle east. That's possible, not sure if again, it's big enough to assasinate over.
Jonathan Morris
I'm pretty sure if you shout "Putin is a fag!" anywhere in Moscow, you wake up with a plutonium rod in your ass.

It's highly doubtful Russia would go to war with China. China is all bark and no bite.

You're still jumping ahead too far if you intend to stay out of /x/ territory.
You need to make full case, starting with WHO assassinated who. And also address the alternative theories, if any. And by who, just saying Russia or America really isn't enough.
Also, these aren't household names to people, so you might need to include background.
The cases that MIGHT fit your general thrust are Karlov, Churkin , Krivov, Erovinkin, Mikhailov, Malanin, and Polshikov.
But some of them will have so little background that we might as well leave them out. And some, like the Karlov case have so many viable alternative theories that you're probably better off focusing on another case.
Karlov was the Ambasador to Turkey that got pegged on camera by a turkish cop, for those of you trying to keep up.
