Operation Honey Pot: Paste this emoji 🍯 in your comment below. President Trump says he has a way to break Russia and China’s “no limits” partnership—without firing a single shot. His plan? Hit Russia with sanctions, slam China with tariffs, and force NATO and the EU to get serious about Ukraine. But will Europe go along with it? And can this strategy really break Xi and Putin’s alliance—or backfire on the global economy?
President Trump has a plan to beat
Russia and China without firing a single
shot. But can this plan actually work?

Welcome to China andensored. I'm Chris
Chapel. Before we get started, did you
know that YouTube hides a lot of our
episodes? It's because of something
called restricted mode. Check it out.
Here's our channel unrestricted. And
here it is unrestricted mode. Notice the
difference. Lots of episodes just
disappear. So, if you haven't already,
go up to your profile picture, click on
it, and go down to restricted mode. Make
sure that's turned off so YouTube will
stop hiding our episodes from you. And
don't forget to leave a comment with a
honeypot emoji as part of Operation
Honeypot, our mission to fight YouTube
censorship. Anyway, on with the episode.
Donald Trump is dealing with a lot from
cracking down on crime domestically to
bringing peace to the Middle East and
Ukraine. You could say his plates full
and what's another name for fine
dishwear? China. That's right. A lot of
the problems tie back to China. And so
Trump may have found a way to solve all
of these problems by merging them
together. Why have 30 big problems when
you can just have 10 catastrophic
problems? So, just what is the plan?
Break Russia and China's so-called no
limits partnership. Eliminate that and
so many things fall into place. Trump
announced this plan on Truth Social
because of course he did. Don't worry,
I'll summarize. Basically, he wants NATO
nations to stop buying oil from Russia
since that's fueling the war, which NATO
countries are still buying oil from
Russia. I'll get to that in a minute.
But once they agree to that, as a block,
the US and NATO nations will slam Russia
with massive sanctions. At the same
time, they'll hit China with tariffs
from 50 to 100% until Russia's invasion
of Ukraine ends. Why hit China, too?
Because China is basically bankrolling
Russia's invasion at this point. Trump
wants Europe to be just as invested in
ending the war in Ukraine as the US is.
Which brings us to Russian oil. But
first, if you like this kind of deep
dive into what's really going on in
China, you've got to subscribe to my

That's where you'll see episodes and
live streams we can't put on YouTube. I

again, that's chinaunensored.tv.
So since the war in Ukraine started, the
largest importers of Russian fossil
fuels have been China and India. Trump
is already applying 50% tariffs on India
over this. And India and the US are now
holding trade talks to address the
situation. But number three on the list
of countries buying Russian fossil fuels
is Turkey, which is, drum roll please, a
NATO country. Hungary and Slovakia also
buy a ton of Russian oil and are also
NATO countries. There's also the little
problem that the EU spends more on
Russian oil and gas than financial aid
to Ukraine. What are we even doing here,
guys? Unless this stops, the war will
continue. The US can't do this alone,
hence Trump's proposal. Now, the EU is
reacting with a plan for more sanctions
on China. China's economy is already
suffering from the US China trade war.
If the US and Europe can actually work
together and agree on teaming up against
the Chinese Communist Party, we can push
them over the edge. China would be
forced to abandon Russia, which would
show that the no limits partnership
actually does have limits. an
embarrassing end for that supposed new
world order she and Putin have talked
about, which didn't even last as long as
New Coke. And if you've never heard of
New Coke, Exactly. So, this sounds like
it makes total sense, especially since
despite Trump Putin talks, Putin has
increased his strikes on Ukraine and
there was that teensy tiny incident with
the Russian drones going into Polish
airspace. Now, that could have been
unintentional, but it's definitely not a
good look. and the EU, the UN, and NATO
are not happy about it. But there are
some challenges to Trump's plan. For
one, a Chinese representative privately
told the EU recently that the CCP can't
accept Russia losing its war against
Ukraine because then the US could turn
its full attention to China, which could
be interpreted as China saying it won't
abandon Russia in Ukraine no matter
what. Tariffs be damned. Then there are
concerns about what tariffs on China
could do to the global economy. As one
German MEP put it, the EU should avoid
blanket punitive tariffs on China of the
magnitude proposed by Mr. Trump. Such
measures would undermine the global
trading system and are more likely to
harm the European economy than to weaken
Russia. After all, China has struck back
at European tariffs with anti-dumping
probes and tariffs of its own. That's on
top of the lumbering bureaucracy that is
the EU. NATO doesn't handle economic
policy. That would be handled through
the European Commission. And that
process could take forever, especially
because those NATO countries I mentioned
earlier that buy a ton of Russian oil,
well, they're very close to China. I
don't think they'll vote to support the
plan. In other words, the EU can't even
agree to implement such a policy. And
even if it did, the process would likely
take several months. Plus, they're not
as big fans of gambling as the guy who
owns multiple casinos. But what do you
think? Can Trump's plan work? Leave your
comments below. Once again, I'm Chris
Chapel. See you next time.
