`Iran, Russia, China to Hold Joint Wargames in ‘Message to the World’

Iran, China, and Russia will hold in the coming weeks their first-ever joint war drills, which leaders say are meant to send a "message to the world" about increased military cooperation between the rogue countries.
The commander of Iran's navy, Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi, said Wednesday that the Islamic Republic will team up with Moscow and Beijing within the next month to hold the mass war drills.`

Well that's rather ominous, but still, Iran's military is a joke, Texas has a larger economy than Russia, and China has lost trillions since Trump imposed tariffs on them. In fact, they've all lost money since Trump took office. Maybe this little stunt by them is meant to send America a message?

Well, we still have NATO... hopefully.

None of those militaries are a joke and combined quite formidable. We do not even come close to having the numbers to match up. Technology is great but it takes boots on the ground to defeat an enemy's will to resist and occupy territory.

I’ve been saying they are an alliance for a few years. Someone forgot to include Turkey.

Weird that the President keeps saying how he likes/admired city and Putin.

I think "alliance" is a pretty strong term. It may come to that and I'm surprised it hasn't. We've pushed all 3 and we've pushed them hard.

My guess is Putin is in a "Why not?" mode. Not going to hurt him and he may get something out of it. Iran and China just want to send us a message.

I think if Turkey participates it can be kicked out of NATO outright. Not sure on that, but I doubt there's room in a mutual defense alliance for military exercises with the country (Russia) that is NATOs prime reason for existing.

If Putin is such a "bad guy", what's he doing that WE haven't? Besides sitting back and laughing at us while we self-destruct? I can see why Trump admires him. Putin gets to do a lot of what Trump would like to. Namely, whatever the Hell he wants.

IMO, monitor and otherwise ignore. We know that's not going to happen between the leftwingnut MSM and Trump's twitter account

Putin especially, but Xi too would like to put US on it’s heels for at least.awhile. Iran just hates the great Satan, perhaps the growing Islamic Turkey too.

They are allies against us, whatever’s else they may or may not have in common.

Iran's military, compared to our's, is a joke, is what I should have said.

I should have also said I meant China, Russia and Iran against NATO. I think NATO is more than a match for them.

I don't think any of the major powers will ever defeat and occupy another major nation through war ever again on earth. We have the threat of mutual destruction. There wouldn't be any winner or occupying to be done when there wouldn't be anything left. In fact, everyone earth will be dead sooner or later, even the animals, because if a nuclear war is unleashed, and it would be before there was any invasion and occupying, the radioactive cloud that would circle the earth would kill everyone and everything. Our PLANET would be finished, probably for good. Maybe we'd deserve it. Seems all mankind has ever done is kill each other since the dawn of time.
