It is election season because they don’t want to rock the boat too hard. Don’t worry. We will be back on the regular schedule in 2025.
It will not be with West but simply Trump and Gulf Arabs will be involved in it just like they are now. Arabs are biggest supporters of Trump outside US. i think i posted MBS interview with Fox News last year. he basically alluded to this fact through defense purchases and US status in the world.
Russia is more de westernize than China and it started much before Putin and now they have even more low opinion.

What the hell are "human rights concerns"? Are these "concerns" evidence free like the Xinjiang "genocide"? If it's ethical violations, then it's understandable. But "human rights concerns"?
It's delusional for the neocons to daydream that they can prevent China's reunification with Taiwan. However, China better heeds the warnings and prepares for the worst.
China should send tons of this stuff to the Ukraine front.
Democracy in India, nuff said.
LMAO - this is what happens when a politician pretends to be an economist.

You'd be shocked how friendly Russians could become towards the West after Putin is no longer the big boss. Russians are Europeans, don't let anyone tell you otherwise and it would be foolish for China to think it has an eternal friendship with Russia.
It doesn't necessarily need to be the case. The closer you are to someone, the more hatred can occur over time.
And the stronger you are, the more your neighbors could fear you. This is especially true with Baltic states, Scandivanian states, Poland, Romania, and even Ukraine. Just like is the case with East Asians between China and South Korea and Japan.
Ukrainians and Russians are essentially the same people, but that closeness brought up fear and hatred.
But I agree to a certain extent that more Western European countries like Germany could be Russia's natural allies today.
But that is if they were not under the US occupation. But they are, so no hope for that as long as the US exists.
The EU is a consensus organization, so as long as you have anti-Russian Baltic dwarfs and others, they could block any decision to cooperate with Russia for Germany or France for example.
So both the US and the EU first need to disappear in order for Russia to hypothetically reconcile with some present-day EU countries.
Also, Russia's main population density, opportunities for expansion and assimilation, Russians left outside the country lay in Europe (Ukraine, Baltics, etc), so if they wanted to expand their territories they would do it more in that direction,
As opposed to going to expand in Asia from relatively sparsely populated Siberia like some delusional Westerners think.
Also, it is wrong to classify Russians as just Europeans when they have quite a lot of Muslim and Asiatic populations.
Russia was always a block on its own, for example, they would always bring up the Byzantine more than Western Rome.

Eh.
The warming and improvement of ties between China and Russia has actually been a two decades development (it speed up after 2014), not to mention with the amount of current trade between the countries (and the future in which its set to still increase), those interest/companies/people would work to prevent a worsening of ties with China.
Not to mention people far underestimate how much the ties between Russia and the West has frozen, it's really not gonna be easy to thaw it and warm it up to what it used to be.
The minute Putin is no longer the President, the west will try to woo Russia in order to contain China. Don't ever for a second think things can't shift quickly in the world of geopolitics.
That assuming Russia is that insecure and unaware that the baltics hate their guts. You’re placing too much stock on believing that Russia is only about Putin. The Russian people are not so weak that they need European attention anymore. Besides what does Europe offer except a bunch of nanny states that want to destroy, cut Russia to pieces and basically enslave its people whilst stealing their resources on the cheap. Don’t think the top leadership doesn’t know what’s up, they wouldn’t be so easily swayed this time because, the west lost its ability to conduct diplomacy any how
I believe it was around 30k came thru the southern border out of a total of 500k
I know well Russians are Europeans. I am Spanish and my wife is Russian. We live in Switzerland. But being European does not mean anything.
There are several cultural and ethnic groups here. Europe is a totally artificial construct and for sure is not a identity.
I am as European as you can be and u don’t like more other European countries than let say China, Iran or Mexico.
Russians are of course Europeans, but it does not mean that they are going to loose their shit to be friends with other countries in the same continent.
And you would be surprise to notice to which point attitude of Russians towards Europe and Asia has changed.
Nowadays you find many people speaking great of China and Iran, about random things let’s say sweets or clothes or thinks like that.
Russians in general are not vengative people so they don’t hate other European, but they certainly don’t have interest in run to ve the puppet of nobody.
They know that they are wining now, and they feel strong.
It is the impression that Russia and Russians gives now
