Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian commented on Tuesday on the upcoming meeting between United States President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that China is "glad to see" that the US and Russia are keeping in contact and improving their relations.

Lin reiterated China's support for a peaceful settlement to the war in Ukraine. "We hope all parties concerned and stakeholders will take part in the negotiation process in due course and reach a fair, lasting and binding peace agreement acceptable to parties concerned at an early date," he said, without commenting on the absence of Ukrainian representatives at the meeting.

Whenever China is ‘happy’ about anything concerning our country, I am instantly suspicious, knowing that most of China would elaborately celebrate America’s Doom, anytime, anywhere!

“THE END OF THE UKRAINE WAR HERE! Trump and Vance Just Announced The End Of The Ukraine Russia War For The United States. If Zelensky does not accept the Trump Peace Plan That Russia has already agreed to, the US will pull all military support from Ukraine dooming the NATO puppet state and it’s dictator Zelensky to total defeat.”

The whole point of opening up to Red China was to keep the Soviet Union/Russia apart from China. Not only have we mortgaged our economy to the Chicoms but our stupid foreign policies have pushed them back together.

The Ukie population is wising up, I suspect the corrupted comedian Zelensky is going to get the Mussolini treatment.

“The fresh Gallup poll found that just 24% support continuing the fight until achieving a military victory,”

Everyone can see where this war is headed now that Ukraine doesn’t have enough troops to cover the front. 100,000 fresh and trained troops would change the outlook, but where would they come from?

From a chief Ukie Azov Neo- Nazi:

“ Bohdan Krotevych, former chief of staff of the Azov brigade and a National Guard lieutenant colonel: “Mr. President, I sincerely don’t know what exactly is being reported to you, but I’m informing you: on the Pokrovsk – Kostiantynivka line, without exaggeration, it’s complete chaos. And this chaos has been growing for a long time, worsening with each passing day... A stable line of combat contact, as such, effectively doesn’t exist.”

Even the Ukie Neo- Nazi’s know the game is over…..some of us knew this years ago.

https://rmx.news/ukraine/western-europe-wants-war-in-ukraine-to-continue-even-without-the-americans/

“Western Europe wants war in Ukraine to continue, even without the Americans
Western Europe will stand in the way of any peace deal because they want a common EU defense policy not under American control…”

The EU, a ship of fools….expect the unelected war mongering EU leaders to torpedo negotiations at the least, ( like Boris Johnson did) or more likely to stage a false flag event….in any case, Ukraine is cooked, and the EU ( now in recession) plunges into depression.

Good, it will teach a good lesson about waging war with Russia.

Yeah, the battle maps from that area published yesterday were surprising in the speed of movement west shown for Russian troops. Lots of open fields ahead.

War fatigue does not adequately explain the desire for peace. In September 2022, just seven months after Putin launched his full-scale invasion, respondents in a survey by Russia’s Levada Center supported peace talks over more fighting by 48 to 44 percent. These and other data challenge the prevalent view that most of Russian society either approves of Putin’s aggression or is lost in apathy.

The line of battle in Ukraine appears to be 600 miles long.

Oddly, the Russian MOD and Ukraine intelligence service seem to agree on the number of Russian troops allocated to the Ukraine war — at about 630,000.

Tooth to tail ratios (logistic support troops to front line troops ratio) for armies has varied through the years. US in WW II 61/39 in favor of logistics support. Gulf war 72/28 attributed to complexity of weapons and ammo transport.

So of the Russian 630K a reasonable ratio would be 70/30, meaning 190K combat troops are spread out over 600 miles. 320 guys per mile, with obvious concentrations in cities and some areas getting 0 people.

Note the AIs do not include the Sumy and Kharkiv front in this so the miles number would be higher and the troop/mile number lower.

The various AIs, quoting Ukraine estimates, say that Russian multi decade norm of universal conscription for 1 year of training, then return to Reserves, means there is a 20 million available pool of mobilization. Many of these are older age and decades since their training. The estimates reduce the 20 million to about 5 million available pool for freshly trained mobilization.

Point being a huge pool not yet tapped. This point is from Ukraine sources cited by GPT and probably laid out that way to justify requests for more money. OTOH, it’s likely accurate. A 5 million man pool largely untapped.

Which makes even the Chinese communist government more moral and ethical than those in this country and West hellbent on keeping the hatred of Russia alive so they can profit from it.

Don’t try to praise President Trump if he gets a peace deal here. That’s a joke. You are NOT welcome back on the train

“”””Good, it will teach a good lesson about waging war with Russia.””””

You just said it will teach the world not to oppose Russian invasions.

NATO is there, where else can Russia go?

In 1938, there was no French or British presence on Germany’s Eastern borders. Even with guarantees to Czechoslovakia and Poland, they were useless without their troops being there already.

It’s completely different having NATO positioning troops in Poland and elsewhere along the frontiers of Russia.

Russia keeps finding places to go and there are non-NATO nations left within reach, and I think that 4 years ago Russia thought NATO was fading away and had plans that have been delayed now, Russia didn’t expect this Ukraine resistance, Russia’s shocking discovery of the truth of their military, and this massive renewal and strengthening of NATO.

But, Russia and Rust never sleep.
