Xi arrives in Russia to stand with Putin against West amid Ukraine war
The Washington Post ^ | March 20, 2023 | Francesca Ebel and Lily Kuo

Chinese leader Xi Jinping landed in Russia on Monday for a much-anticipated three-day state visit, taking a joint stand with President Vladimir Putin against the West even as the Russian leader stands accused by the International Criminal Court of war crimes in Ukraine.

The two men, each positioned as “leader for life” of a nuclear power, celebrated their “no limits” relationship in Beijing together in early 2022, just weeks before Putin ordered his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and they have met about 40 times. But Monday’s visit, the first by Xi since the invasion, represents a display of tacit support by China for the war and a personal triumph for Putin, who is eager to show he is not isolated on the international stage.

Xi’s plane arrived at Vnukovo International Airport just southwest of the Russian capital at approximately 1 p.m. local time Monday. The presidential motorcade then made its way to the center of Moscow, where dozens of people waving Chinese and Russian flags greeted the delegation outside his hotel, the Soluxe Hotel in the north of the city. Initial talks were scheduled to begin in the afternoon, followed by a dinner later with Putin.

Naturally, you sympathize with China. China is our most dangerous enemy, along with the Demonrats and neocons.

Communists of the world unite!
You remember that term during the Cold War?
Well, the Cold War is back!

Stalinism, Sovietism, Communism is slowly becoming as strong as it once was.

The usual commie/soviet anti-American axis : China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Nicaragua and a few other ultra socialist nations : Mexico, Venezuela, South Africa. And vengeful Islamist Iran teaming up with them - are all continuing to foment against America.

In fact it’s simply a matter of continuity, it has actually been like this for a long time, but we all lured ourselves in believing the commies had changed... Sovietism never lost power in the Soviet/Russia Kremlin fortress, they just went quite for a little while. Now it’s obvious for everyone to see what their anti-American agenda truly is.

Russia, China, IRAN, have always been, are, and will remain America’s most extreme enemies. They are working around the clock to crush our American and Western economies, stealing our inventions, lying about us behind our backs...

Funny how we make a big deal out of not trading with Cuba, but with China, it’s business as usual.

China criticism has a built in protection system. We are seeing this in Canada. A mayor who won in a Vancouver election is being accused by out spy agency of being influenced by China. His response “If I were white you wouldn’t even ask this question”. You see China is insulated from criticism because you have to be a racist to say anything bad about China. China also has a huge network of supporters in Canada. If an anti-Chinese protest erupts there could be 10,000 protesters. The pro-China protestors come in around 8,000, so they are nothing to sneeze at.

Show me the money. How many Congressmen have a lot to lose if we restrict trade with China?

Vancouver is practically a ChiCom colony now.

San Francisco isn’t far behind.

And the leading pro-China group in Canada is the Canadian Liberal Party. There are ministers in Trudeau’s cabinet who are very critical of any anti-China policy or leanings.

I’ve been watching some videos of Pierre Poilievre, going at it with Trudeau, I must say, I am impressed with Pierre, looks like he would be a great PM for Canada.

NYT: "Wagner operatives had brought back the bodies of the nine Chinese nationals to Bangui. The nine men were shot, which the officials said did not correspond to methods employed by the rebel groups."

It’s true. CCP are behind this “Asian hate” crap. They want to conflate being anti-Chicom with being prejudiced against Chinese or even all Asians.

The incredible Ukraine idiocy is going to create a triumph for a REAL “New World Order”, with the Russia-China-India-Iran-Brazil coalition finally able to break the dollar and ruin the US without firing a shot.

The only thing that could be worse would be Biden allowing China to sink the carriers - which is a serious risk.

China wants to stand with Russia? Then it’s time to end trade with China.

- - - - - - -

That would last 2 days. The pain in the US would be so intense people would overthrow the government if it didn’t reinstate trade.

The worst State Department in history continues to antagonize potential allies. Will they lose Brazil and Mexico next?

And they are sadly doing a pretty good job aided and abetted by the ChiCom establishment in Congress and the White House.
