Q: Why did China rush 12,000 troops and dozens of tanks to Russian border a few days ago?

There are no war games going on and Russia only has border guards there.  I thought Russia and China are close buds yes?  They sure got there fast.  see infowars.com for details.  What is going on?

Infowars.com being a completely credible web site, I have heard enough about it to even give it a glance. You got another source? Alex Jones should not be allowed to post on the interwebs.

Yay, anonymous posting ! It's ALMOST annoying.

 

Quoted from Wikipedia

[1] Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American radio host, author, conspiracy theorist,[1][2] and documentary filmmaker.

[2] New York Magazine described Jones as “America’s leading conspiracy theorist”,[14] and the Southern Poverty Law Center describes him as "the most prolific conspiracy theorist in contemporary America."[15] About being labeled a "conspiracy theorist", Jones has stated that he finds himself "proud to be listed as a thought criminal against Big Brother."

 

Quoted from RationalWiki

[3] Infowars is the World Wide Web home of Alex Jones' frustratingly long hodge-podge of conspiracy theories and various forms of denialism. The advertisements will link to more and pseudoscience scams. Occasionally they will try to sell you into another part of Alex Jones' media empire, such as PrisonPlanet TV. Has something to do with the Constitution Party although sometimes Alex says something in line with Libertarian principles.

 

China and Russia, being neighbour with common interest, hold regular joint military exercises. So yeah, you can spot tanks at the border.

RiriRiri:

Oooh don't believe Wikipedia, open Youtube and see for yourself. A guy yelling random conspiracy stuffs interrupted literally every 2 minutes for running random in-house advertisements.

Alex Jones is a far right conspiracy nut, who tends to say random things for attention. Most Americans just ignore him, the far right people love him on the other hand.

Scandinavian:

Remember the American definition of "far right" is still pretty conservative compared to the rest of the world

It's not likely to be a big problem.  It is probably not military personnel, but friendly CFTU members practicing a drill in which is a response to the day when they successfully chase out those evil recruiters over the border.  The obvious motive is to secure the border and not let the recruiters back in!

Burak43:

As long as it wouldn't end up in nuclear war this would be a most favorable outcome indeed.

China and Russia won't have 'fallings'.

 

Putin is mad, and he's holding daily military drills to show West their shape. 

 

China didn't rush troops to Russian boarder. OP here is 'firefighter chief of chiefs': 'oooohhh look fire just started…..' Stop posting 'alarming' news, because they aren't!

China supports Russsia, and they conducting military drills to counter Western moron Osama, I mean Obama.

Do you want to get schooled again? When one's looking for schooling, she/he should read more than post!
