These guys are fringe politicians (even for Ukrainian standards).
Anyone marching for gay pride in Ukraine is not exactly broadly appealing.
Revisit this when Zelensky goes to Taiwan or invites English Vegetable (which is never, I would put money on it)
For all this talk of "China supports Russia", basically they are on the same as Israel... No sanctions, no weapons
Of course this opinion won't be found in the NYT
It’s official now (well we already knew they were). US boots are on the ground but pinky promise they aren’t on the frontlines.
Anyway, if the US actually decides to directly fight a war with Russia then everyone should expect the US to attack China over Taiwan.
CCP’s brutal digital crackdown on criminal elements forced them to operate abroad, so in a sense, yes, China is to blame for this.
Not playing all the best cards at once?
Russia is doing a not amazing but nevertheless, acceptable job of demilitarizing and weakening NATO overtime, to 0 cost for China.
As of now, Germany is pressed enough that it will link some deals that will highly likely be fairly unequal in China's favor. This wouldn't happen if China went all in helping Russia, and what would that do anyways? A quick victory, expanding Russian borders and making NATO fume but otherwise not biting the bait nor weakening their economy further.
The anglos need a war to distract the ppl at home who are on the verge of revolution, and to corral the rest of Europe into their iron curtain.
American, Brit, NATO soldiers were already fighting Russians in a NOC capacity as mercenaries.
Russia now allowed on-site inspection -

GROZNY, November 1. /TASS/. Russia has begun investigating the causes of the explosions at Nord Stream, at the moment there are no official results of the investigation, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters.
"There are no official documents yet. The inspection is still in progress," he said.
"Of course, Gazprom management receives reports in real time. I believe there is some information, but I can’t tell you, because this is an ongoing process, they have just started working," the Deputy Prime Minister added.
Gazprom was allowed to inspect the explosion sites at Nord Stream and has already discovered the damage to gas pipelines, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters on Monday. According to him, the results of the inspection prove that the incident at the gas pipelines was an obvious terrorist attack.
Four leaks were discovered in late September on the Nord Stream gas pipeline, with the most recent one pinpointed by Sweden’s coast guard. On September 27, operator Nord Stream AG reported that three lines of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 offshore gas pipelines had suffered unprecedented damage. The first leak was identified on Nord Stream 2 near the Danish Island of Bornholm. Then two leaks were recorded at Nord Stream. Swedish seismologists later reported that two explosions had been recorded along the Nord Stream pipelines on the previous day. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the incidents were sabotage.
Nord Stream was one of the main gas delivery routes from Russia to Europe. Its operation has been suspended since the end of August due to problems with repairs of Siemens turbines stemming from Western sanctions. Nord Stream 2 was completed in 2021 but never put into operation.
