A key autocratic ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in China for a state visit on Tuesday, amid warnings from United States officials that Beijing may be considering aiding Moscow in its ongoing assault on Ukraine.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko will stay in China until Thursday and meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping to discuss a range of issues from trade and investment to “acute international challenges,” Belarus’ state news agency Belta reported Tuesday after confirming the leader’s arrival.

His trip comes after the two leaders agreed to upgrade their countries’ ties to an “all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership” during a September meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan, which Putin also attended.

The Russians are frankly amazed at how naive our folks are. Seriously, they see our side as very powerful, dangerous, but naive and amateurish.

Frankly they are right.

Our policies shift with every administration and the folks at the senior levels are like this Jake Sullivan twerp.

Realize, this a doctored up, make him look as good as possible, version of him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Sullivan

-Where is any experience in the intel community?

-Where is any experience in the military?

-Where is any true experience running a staff, responsible for operations, in an executive position other than with some negotiation team etc?

-A fluffy junk degree... from a prestigious US university... all experience in the government in some form... this guy is almost cliche.

This is the genius that gave us Afghanistan and then no $#!% tried to tell us how it was a great success as folks were falling from the landing gears of our C-17s trying to get out of there.

***Here’s a little memo for the little kid running our national security policies, PRC can hurt us back ever as much as we can hurt them economically speaking.***

However, we are NOT willing to take the political damage of a feud with them. Right now we are in a far worse position (economically), we are tied up a little bit because of Ukraine (militarily) and this administration can’t take more damage (inflation, recession, Ohio, hemorrhaging money for Ukraine...)

***If the PCR takes our advice, it is because we gave them something in return, there was some deal made which the twerp is concealing.

So the real question is what did we offer in exchange?

But, the CNN version does sound a lot better for their viewers.

The Russians and Chicoms don’t think our DC masters are naive at all. The Russians don’t dismiss their pledges of regime change in Moscow and defeat of the Russian military. These threats are repeated by every one of the powerful western oligarchs running this aggression. The Russians made it unequivocally clear that they would militarily prevent the last domino of NATO hegemony (on the Russian border, a days tank ride from Moscow) from falling. Putin and Xi are well aware of the western woke globalists’ plans to eliminate them. I’m sure Putin and Xi have been shocked at how reckless the DC Junta is in implementing their plans. Personally, I hope the Russian/Chinese alliance is enough to force NATO to backdown away from its plan to overthrow the Russian government. Otherwise, we are about to see DC complete the process of stumbling us into WWIII. The same DC globalists who ignored the Russian promise of a Uke invasion to stop them are ignoring the guaranteed nuclear retaliation if the DC Junta and it’s NATO stooges continue their proxy war of conquest.
