I agree with you, but only in the current situation. If Russia, however, start losing the war, then China would probably send them weapons.

Russians would have no other choice then, well they could still do tactical nuclear strikes, but is too much of a taboo, even China would probably stop supporting Russia after that.

Russia already handed over Ukraine to Southern Military district and that will be transforming it long term so chance of nukes is much less. i will even speculate that extensive use of choppers in Ukraine conflict is not just operational tactical but also creating realistic videos of targets hit and maintain confidence on reliability in Russian machines.
Russia capitalizes on disillusionment with the United States to win sympathy in the Global South
The reason are more complex than what this article is saying. it starts with demographic and the kind of people Europe importing that are not looked favorably by wealthy Arabs / Israelis and they have very extensive connections to disrupt things and create soft image in global south. Some in Europa not meet the expectations so message through drones is delivered.
I am sure that Inflation reduction act will put further pressure on Germany. and if Germany still continue this path than there is enough weapons and wealth to corrupt that can close all the mines related to clean tech in Africa and Latin America. this is the end result of all the money printing and free convertibility of currency as wealth is controlled narrow and outside.

"What we're hearing, especially from the Germans and others, about reengaging with the Gulf, I am encouraged but I would warn that it should not be transactional," Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic advisor to the president of the UAE, told the World Policy Conference in Abu Dhabi. Gargash reiterated a call for "explicit" security assurances from traditional Western allies, especially in dealing with the threat from Iranian drones that Gulf states have long warned about.

It was not until these weapons "made it into the Ukraine theatre" that they were "catapulted" into the spotlight, and "suddenly the world rediscovered this issue", Gargash said.

West considers peace talks deadline for Ukraine – Bild​

Ukraine’s Western backers are considering the imposition of an ultimatum on Kiev in relation to potential talks with Moscow, German tabloid Bild reported on Monday, citing anonymous government sources in Washington and Berlin.

With new arms supplies, the US and its allies want to provide Kiev with an “incentive” to try and recapture territories seized by the Russian forces, Bild claimed, adding that the West wants to see results in this respect by the fall.

“Should the counter-offensive fail, the pressure on Kiev to negotiate with the Kremlin will increase,” the paper reported.

Assuming it is accurate. I don’t see any reason why Russia should agree to any negotiations with them on their terms. Bad faith negotiations, lies, trickery, etc.

I have said this before. Neither Ukraine or Russia will fully agree to negotiations until they see their respective much prepared and hyped offensives fail

Nobody wants a peace now because they still have hopes on their military turning the situation around. When reality sets in, expect a lot more (sincere) push for peace talks

If there's proof China is thinking of providing lethal assistance, why not show it? How do you have proof of someone thinking about it? It's either done or it's not. It's like when WikiLeaks released US, not Chinese diplomatic cables, written by overseas US diplomats about China, the media for some reason concluded what was said in them had to be true just because they were labeled TOP SECRET. If the random musings of US diplomats who wrote true negative things about China, why did they hide it behind TOP SECRET? Are they going to use their default excuse that China put a gun to their heads? If they found out that China had a plan to rape all white women, wouldn't they want people to know it? And yet somehow... labeled TOP SECRET.

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, Americans don't know the meaning of words. They only associate things with others things. So when they say something is TOP SECRET, it must mean it's true because why would it be labeled that way if it were lies? They totally ignore that it was an American diplomat who wrote about what they think. What's to stop a US diplomat from writing China is enslaving Africans right now and they can label it TOP SECRET and then it has to be true. The US can get the world to isolate China and cancelled immediately which is their goal.
The same thing going on now with the US Department of Energy saying COVID-19 came from a lab leak. How would the US Department of Energy know? But it's all over the news like it's proof because it came from a US government office. It should tell you something that they had to get the Department of Energy to announce it and not the US CDC. Also they're pointing out this is Biden's Department of Energy and not Trump's so it must be even more true.

Same amount of evidence accusing China of thinking of supplying Russia with lethal assistance. They want to persecute people for thought crimes. Again not surprising they want to violate the democratic principles they say they're for. The US has accused China of actually doing the deed from day one of Russia's war in Ukraine. What makes it any different now?

Like I said before, this is what was being planned after Blinken's trip to China if it had took place. They just don't have the context how the US was trying to improve relations with China to vilify China for ruining the US's offering of an olive branch.
