“There is only one war going on and it is global”
…and it is the same old war - freedom vs. tyranny.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. It isn’t free.

Xi Jinping, after negotiations with Scholz, sent an important signal to Moscow
The world’s attention has been focused on China in recent days. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived there on a visit.
This is just the first of many visits by European leaders to the Middle Kingdom. Emmanuel Macron is expected to arrive soon. And, obviously, he will take a more hawkish position than the moderate Scholz.
But let’s sum up the results of the German voyage.
Obviously, the positions of China and Europe regarding the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine diverge. But at the same time, the Chinese leader made it clear that it was time to end the SVO.
The West also agrees with this. In general, we are also ready. Differences in approaches.
According to our information, following the negotiations, Xi Jinping sent a letter to Moscow with a proposal to consider some options for terminating the North Military District with the formation of a future armistice agreement.
Among the points proposed by the Chinese leader were the cessation of hostilities along the current front line, the non-aligned status of Ukraine, and the absence of territorial claims from Russia at least until 2040 (the signing of security guarantees).
According to the proposed formula, the Kremlin will have to resolve the issue of the presence in the Constitution of the Russian Federation of territories currently not controlled by the Russian army.
At this point, there is no information whether China has sent a draft of such an agreement to Kyiv. Perhaps Scholz will do this with his comments.
In Moscow, Xi Jinping’s ideas were considered quite good, but so far the Kremlin has not given an official answer.
The leaders of Russia and China are expected to have a telephone conversation next week.
