Underlining Russia’s widening isolation on the world stage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India told President Vladimir V. Putin on Friday that it is no time for war — even as the Russian president threatened to escalate the brutality of his campaign in Ukraine.
The televised critique by Mr. Modi at a regional summit in Uzbekistan came just a day after Mr. Putin acknowledged that Xi Jinping, China’s leader, had “questions and concerns” about the war.
Taken together, the distancing from Mr. Putin by the heads of the world’s two most populous countries — both of which have been pivotal to sustaining Russia’s economy in the face of Western sanctions — punctured the Kremlin’s message that Russia was far from a global pariah.
“I know that today’s era is not of war,” Mr. Modi told Mr. Putin at the beginning of their meeting, describing global challenges like the food and energy crises that were hitting developing countries especially hard. “Today we will get a chance to discuss how we can move forward on the path of peace.”

They are ignoring the fact that the Scissors strategy is becoming that of one clenched fist. (Anatoly Golitsyn).
Also this is very deliberate psyops by the Fabian Socialists who populate the CIAand MI6 as of now. The Fabians can’t stand Marxist Leninists. Putin and Xi are Marxist Leninists. India could also become formally Communist.
China smells weakness.
Nat Gas pipelines on that scale are a years-long project, and this thing has been ongoing long before this war. Note: the Chinese pipeline draws from a different gas basin than the European pipelines.
The loss of the Euro market via Nordstream etc is a net loss.
Oil is a fungible commodity and Russia is selling into effectively a global commodity pool. There is no particular achievement in selling to India, other than India is getting something of a discount due to sanctions overhead, that is costing Russia.
They have no reason to leave NATO, theyll play both sides.
“They have no reason to leave NATO, theyll play both sides.”
They’re already halfway left when they bought the Russian S-400 missile system (which can shoot down NATO planes at will). For that we ‘sanctioned’ them, preventing them from buying F-35s.
Now they want some of their terrorists returned for trial (and likely execution), who are being housed in Sweden - no way Sweden gives them up (one is in parliament there, I think). If no movement there...gets tougher to stay.
Anyway, time will tell - but they’re quickly moving away from the West, whether we like it or not.
Very, very lukewarm criticism of Putin's unprovoked invasion, rocket-bombing of civilian population centers, and vast land-grab.
And Xi has "questions and concerns." Likewise very, very lukewarm criticism.

China hardly distancing themselves from Russia.
NYT lives in fantasy world.
“And yet they’re forging an economic alliance.”
One other thing: 1700+n words and NOWHERE do they even give the name of the meeting.
Interesting what they DO NOT want us to know.
It really doesn’t help win friends and influence people if you act like a pussy in the field of battle.
Times is blowing smoke and distracting from the real story.
The real story is those nations are arranging how to trade with each other without the dollar, or IOW the funeral of the dollar as #1 reserve currency. While the Fed is scheming to confiscate our cash and give us CBDC instead, which will come with TOU dictated by the Fed. You will be able to buy anything you want with CBDC, except for those items which violate the TOU. They could block purchases of anything gun-related, donations to churches/charities/certain political candidates or parties. Call it a whitelist or a blacklist, the crap consequences are the same.
The Fed is not the “government” (technically) so there is no remedy in law. The dollar (Federal Reserve Note) is their ball and they can take it and go home whenever they like.
My main objective at the moment is converting soon-to-be-toilet-paper dollars into real things with value. Like Bitcoin, silver and an off-grid electrical power supply.
Parts oh this are accurate and we have sure gotten the non aligned world to align
Turkey has a new pre detente with Syria
More unintended consequence of making Pootie bleed to gain Russian ethnic Donbas at all costs mostly civvies and ukrop
Thier blood our cash and cool weapons
Well have to up our production to keep up
I doubt our MID has an issue with that
Putin is not a Marxist Leninist though he may harbor ideals of Soviet Russia geography and imperial Russia as interchangeable geography wise with Russia today as a lynchpin
Xi presides as head of the CCP over a booming economic system in north which it’s easier to start a business in many ways more so than here
Sorta like Nazi Germany was except industry leaders were usually party members unlike China
They the CCP will provide reams of help like capital and housing
They need jobs for the hive
Just don’t compete with large industries they have their grubby hands in or buck the politics
Or you’re an involuntary organ donor on an organ preservation machine ala Falun Gong
The CCP has built 115 new cities for capitalist workers funded by them with money they borrowed from Goldman Sachs etc of western capital to house 5-7 million each to provide locales for Chinese manufacturing and servicing to provide jobs for their populace several which are bone empty waiting
Strange world paradigms
Very
Trump is right
We sold out to them for cheap goods

It’s the New York Times. Take this with a whole shaker full of salt.
Keep an eye on Turkey’s cultural wellbeing. It’s looking healthy compared to the West.
