China's President Xi Jinping affirmed his "no limits" partnership in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, China's state media reported, on the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. 
The leaders held the talks as U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed for a quick deal to end the Ukraine war, raising the prospect that Washington could draw a wedge between Xi and Putin to focus on competing with the world's second largest economy. 
The call appeared aimed at dispelling any such prospects - the two leaders underscored the durability and the "long-term" nature of their alliance, with its own internal dynamics that would not be impacted by any "third party". 
"China-Russia relations have strong internal driving force and unique strategic value, and are not aimed at, nor are they influenced by, any third party," said Xi, according to the official readout published by Chinese state media.

    Write this down, Big Three 2.0.
Denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula will be first. A Hong Kong type deal finally putting our “One China Policy” into effect will come next.

    When the globists are defeated in Ukraine, stolen funds are returned, and sanctions are removed, Russia will no longer need to partner with scoundrels who are not its natural allies.

Meaning, based upon the same reasoning of pro-Putin advocates (that opposition to him means one supports the Left), that to be pro-Putin is to side with the #1+2 military threats to the US, and who will make no distinction btwn conservatives and liberals seeking the destruction of its deterrent to world dominion. Left-leaning Ukraine is a pawn in this context.

 You make me chuckle.
 In a forum allowing debate and discussion, the posting of citations and even a tasty bit of rabble-rousing, you manage to quote yourself. It is become an art form of sorts, a comedy.
