(CNSNews.com) - Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin are putting their show of mutual support on full display in Moscow this week, and Americans should be very concerned, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said.
"We are in a very dangerous situation," Gingrich told Fox News Monday night:
"We have our two major international competitors, Russia and China, coming closer and closer together. We have a president who clearly does not have a clue what to do. We have a vice president who is an embarrassment and the best possible insurance policy for keeping Biden as president.
“And Americans need to understand. This is not a game. This is not one of those things where you get on X box. We're in a real world faced with real crisis. And we have a president who is totally out of touch with reality in terms of what's going on in the world.
“I personally, as a historian, think that this is the most dangerous period we've been in since Washington crossed the Delaware on Christmas night, 1776. I think the number of things going bad are so great and the threat to our civilization is so great that we really need a dramatic change.”
‘Gangster allies’
Gingrich noted that Xi Jinping last week "gave four different speeches in one week on preparing for war."
“And I think people should take that seriously and understand how determined, how aggressive and how competent XI Jinping is. Putin, of course, was a KGB agent and is himself, ruthless, tough smart.
“So you've got two people who are sort of gangster allies. And they represent the competitive alternative. They represent a totalitarian, dictatorship-led world where they take care of each other against the democracies.”
Gingrich compared the apparent Russia-China alliance to the Axis powers of Italy, Germany and Japan in the 1930s:
“And now, unlike the 1930s, we have a president dedicated to weakness, dedicated to confusion, whose family -- and you just saw this last week -- got $3 million from the Chinese communists in one check.
"There's lots of other money out there. We have no idea how corrupted the Biden family is.”
Gingrich said he suspects Xi Jinping “thinks he owns” the Biden family and views the U.S. as a “paper tiger.”
“I think it is a very sobering and frankly, as a citizen, a very frightening moment in American history,” he concluded.
