The China angle is interesting.

I thought they had Ukraine in their pocket and that Russia invaded block China. I still going by that theory—one that posits China as the villain and Russia as the lesser villain.

US/NATO involvement would be troublesome for China’s long term plans, so it remains at the sidelines as it’s neighbor pries this thorn out of the region. Then it will have only one opponent. I don’t see China and Russia in any amicable relationship for the long-term future, especially over this piece of real estate.

This fact complicates my theory that this is a strategic move by Russia to counter China’s B&R expansion. It’s still
seems the best explanation though.

“ U.S. officials got intelligence showing Beijing had shared the information with Moscow, telling the Russians that the United States was trying to sow discord ”

President Retard doesn’t know the difference between an adversary and an ally 🤪
