Russia-China Peace Mission 2009

Russia and China will hold their joint military exercise on July 22-27 on the territories of the two countries. About 3,000 military men, 300 units of military hardware, over 40 planes and helicopters will take part in Peace Mission-2009 drills. About 1,500 servicemen, T-80 tanks, BMP-1 and BTR-70 armored vehicles, 22 aircraft, including two Il-76 cargo planes, five Su-24, five Su-25, five Su-27 fighters and five Mi-8 helicopters will represent Russia in the drills.   

The event will start in Russia's Khabarovsk with political consultations between the military chiefs of the two countries. The maneuvers will begin on July 23 in China. Peace Mission-2009 is the third military exercise between Russia and China. The previous two events took place in 2005 and 2007.

Alexander Khramchikhin, the Director of the Institute for Political and Military Analysis, said that all military drills, which different nations hold today, were associated with counter-terrorist activities. "There is a political motive there too. We want to show it to the USA that Russia has a strategic partner - China - and that Russia will not be following the USA's directions. Moreover, Russia is ready to demonstrate that it is following a different political course," the specialist said, Pravda.Ru reports.

If you want to speak about regional stability and counter-terrorism, the most successful approach will be to send a strong message to the USA that they are to stay out and mind their own business. After all, they are responsible for unleashing many terrorist groups such as the KLA and Afghan mujahadeen and their game is instability.

Russia and China are the two superpowers that will be maintain balance in a New World Order where the US empire must shrink back within its own borders and withdraw its tentacles that have spread all over the world, much to the righteous anger of the world community.

So Russia and China join forces...so as to insure that no rogue superpower ever again will present a danger to lives, to peace and tranquility. With that out of the way, they true enemies of man can be conquered: hunger, disease and poverty.
