They could start by buying the SS-25s that Russia is supposed to start phasing-out!Time for China to buy or rent some Russian nukes. Let's start with 500 nukes from Russian inventory

People are against this, but Pakistan is hopelessly compromised by foreign interference. The West is using its NGOs, and Iran is using its agents to spread religious/Iran friendly ideas.
Unless Pakistan expels foreign influence it will forever be like that
And also note how Biden has still not called IK since he took the presidency. Its like he knew that IK was going to be changed shortly....
I think it's because their reporter, Sara Sidner, an African-American, who covered the George Floyd protests, talked about it live on-air and then asked a question about it to the UN official overseeing the refugee problem there. Overnight all those non-whites at the border crossing not allowed to leave were gone the next day. Someone told the Ukrainians they better stop that policy because it could turn world opinion against them. Plus it would help Putin's narrative of Ukrainians being Nazis. To cover it up after the fact would make CNN look bad.I am actual surprised it was allowed on CNN
@windsclouds2030 The US should take a hint, IF you're a guest sometimes it better not to overstay your welcome!Ukraine war may ‘change trajectory’ of China’s moves to insulate against US dollar, Fed chair says

- US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was questioned on Thursday in a US Senate Banking Committee hearing
- The hearing focused on how China might view US-led efforts to isolate Russia’s economy, especially by damaging its ability to use the US dollar
US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said the Ukraine war could have the effect of ACCELERATING CHINA’S MOVES TO DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES to the current US dollar-dominated international payments infrastructure.
Powell was questioned on Thursday in a US Senate Banking Committee hearing on how China might view the US-led efforts to isolate Russia’s economy, especially by damaging its ability to use the US dollar.
Senator Jack Reed, a senior Democrat who has focused on China’s rise as a global power, told Powell at the hearing that Beijing will start thinking about “how they can avoid that fate if they get into a similar circumstance” as Russia.
China “will look very closely” at the “whole issue of the dollar as the medium of exchange to the world,” said Reed, who chairs the Armed Services Committee.
Reed asked Powell if he was watching the issue and whether he would report back to the US Congress on developments and share views on what he thinks might happen. “Yes to all of the above,” Powell said.
Powell said that China has “for some time” been working on the reserve-currency status issues, and been developing a messaging system for international payments that is like the SWIFT system.
The United States and European nations have moved to bar Russia from using SWIFT, which is vital to international payments in US dollars.
“That’s been going on for some time,” Powell said of Chinese efforts to insulate themselves from what Reed described as “the same thing that they’re observing in Russia now.”
“But this may change the trajectory,” Powell added.
