excerpted:

“...Some observers surmised that Xi is in no hurry to press for the war’s end. The conflict has sapped American military resources—already both the US and Europe are discovering they lack enough ammunition to supply Ukraine – while imposing higher fuel costs on Western economies as China receives Russian oil at below-market, friendship rates....”

We live in scary times. I really hope the Russians ditch their mad tsar before they end up like North Korea.

I’m guessing that Putin and Xi also disagree on the future of Siberia. Here is China’s opinion on the matter:

Xi depends on the world for customers. Putin doesn’t any more because he doesn’t have much for sale.

The world has declared that Putin is a war criminal having committed crimes against humanity. Unlike several Freepers, Xi can knows it is best not to get too close and have the crimes of association rub off.

woke, blind and arrogant US “leaders” (who really are like children) broke a key strategic rule which has been in place since the Cold War - balance China and Russia against each other to keep the peace and balance power among our three powers.

Corrupt fools in DC, drunk on unlimited US power for 30 years, stupidly thought Russia was weak and could be controlled by the West. Now they have pushed China and Russia together, and they are taking the BRICS with them.

Lest you think “Oh well, its just killing Syrians, Iraqi, Russians, Ukrainians” - we at home are suffering their grab for empire, as our republic is dying in front of our eyes.

The lawfare Putin conducted against his last electoral oppenent Alexy Navalny is an incredibly similar prequel to the state-sponsored lawfare being conducted against Trump. The stories so far read nearly the same.

OBTW, Did we ever move our Nukes out of Turkey?

We can't trust the gov't there and if we ever have an administration working in America's interest, we need to move them out.

Note: Please use SAC Standards and Procedures when moving Nukes. Find a copy! They worked!

XI....”Hey guys...we got another sucker on the line besides the USA.” It’s all about trade...and I don’t mean the “balance” of trade.

Belarus, a neighboring country that could be a staging ground for Russian invasion forces.

Could? Didn't they do exactly this just last year?

“Putin and Xi don’t see eye to eye”

One is taller than the other?

China wants the Russian Far East and Siberia. That would solve their hydrocarbon problem.
