Creative.
And anybody trusts the chinks? They are the enemy. Anybody who treats them otherwise is a fool.
China can take a long walk off a short bridge.
Chinas kind of late to the party. This is already going on.
Part of China’s proposal to assist a Russia-Ukraine peace deal involves Beijing acting as a “guarantor” by sending peacekeeping troops to the region, the people familiar said.
