Seems serious if true. Xi better have gotten major concessions from Putin since this is going to destroy China's relations with Europe.

What concessions do you need to help your brother against your common enemy? "What concessions do you need from me before you help me help you? What happens to you if I fall?" Putin would ask. Sino-Euro relations are basically the Europeans trying to benefit from China while taking as many cheap shots at us as possible with explanations on why we shouldn't hit back. Sino-Russian relations, on the other hand, are the hope of the non-Western world and the foundation against NATO's global tyranny. If I were Xi, I would have told all the West that I will supply as much to Russia as I want, of anything I want and I will be looking to mirror what they provide to Ukraine, even if Russia doesn't ask for it just because I don't like their 30 vs 1 coward style fighting. If they don't like it and wish to discuss, I tell them I have neither the time nor the spit to waste "discussing" with hostile nations with sanctions and alliances against mine.

I think you meant EU when saying "Europe".

EU has been destroying relationship with China long before the Ukraine-Russian conflict. So relationship with EU has less and less meaning in the consideration of Chinese leadership. It's hopeless anyway.

On the other hand China is more and more treating EU countries individually while ignoring EU as a whole. That is why the head of EU has to force her way in the meeting of Xi's state visit to France to make EU relevant to China. This act of desperately seeking recognition means that EU has to suck up whatever China dumps.

I don't understand the logic in this tweet. Why would a break up of USSR/Russia be a bad thing for the US? If anything, I see it as a benefit: instead of a unified Russia fighting the US, it would be a fragmented, weakened Russia fighting itself. Just look at middleast today.. compared to a unified middleast (i.e. under the Ottomans) that terrified the Europeans for centuries.

Collapse of USSR is a tragedy for US. There is now only infighting in US.

Russia, I'm certain, doesn't want to risk having the Jews return back to Europe, especially considering that most initial Zionists came from Russia, like the Zionist Socialists SS who were willing to indulge in terrorism to establish their goals. Not just our modern definition of Zionism (i.e. Jew in Israel), but these Russian Jews debated with other Zionists and sought autonomy within Russia.

Jews emigrating enmasse was a boon to Russia (as well as Europe) as it finally solved The Jewish Question which plagued Europe for centuries.

lol. Neither Europe nor Russia has same demographic. so there is no point in putting links from past centuries. and if for some reason all Israeli decide to move there than what you think MBS will do? Just look at his interview that i posted why Saudi are not World Seventh largest economy. The interview is long (Arabic logic complicated to present) so it is not easy to understand the cause and effect. the reason right there and it is not Jews. again remember the New Europe.

China to provide ‘lethal aid’ to Russia, says UK defence secretary​

Probably your usual Western propaganda, but what if...

Click to expand...

What the fuck does the British know these days? Not saying it’s not possible, but if someone is going to get the scoop on something this major, it would be the Americans, not their lamed lapdog the British.

I see China holding back lethal aid support to Russia primarily because the Russians don’t need it since they are winning as things stand.

Also, I think China is saving that play as a counter to possible EU going all in with the Americans. If it came down to it, China will show its cards and tell the EU in no uncertain terms that choosing that path will have immediate and overwhelmingly unbearable consequences beyond merely the economic.

In the generational scale of time, I think the Russians are going eastward. Unless the world get serious on climate change. Then 2/3 of Russians lands covered by permafrost will eventually become a land of rich opportunities and the primary economic growth driver. If Siberia is destined to melt. It would be rather unwise to contribute anything that could deteriorate relations with Russia. Especially, if the permafrost really does contain two times the carbon that currently exists within the atmosphere.

Its not even generational . remember Russia do among world largest Islamic intellectual conferences in Kazan. (or that BRICS).
The Vostok highway going Pacific ocean goes through Kazan. The person who managed that construction is the same person who is often present in this Islamic Conference and manage housing renovation for growing population. I am sure Arabs can physically observe any construction that he wanted to show them including this light show on Kazan Kremlin. immediately when that Conference ended some more Ukrainian children were released through Qatar today. some things will be behind the scene that not easy to observe. Every body writes how Russia survived sanctions and West is nothing but often ignore this factor.

Totally opposite. Without the collapse of the USSR the U.S. would have collapsed instead.

US financial system was nearly broken when the USSR collapsed, they saved it with the massive export of capital resulting of the privatisation of Soviet Union enterprises as well as the basic pillaging of its natural resources.

Also they proceed to destroy Iraq to inflict fear in every country and make capitals flee to the U.S.. Something they would have not dare to do without the fall of the Soviet Union.

If you check the usage of dollar for example it was dropping accelerated before the fall of the USSR and then it recovered a lot.

The irony of the fall of the USSR is that if they would have been more clever today they would have been the undisputed first power in the world.

I am saying there is very power full ideological and economic force behind Russia that make it stand up to West. and it is not simply Russia survived sanction so any one else will be in the same boat if face the same opposition. These people sophisticated that same information is presented in different way in many outlets to convey some thing different basically owned by same entity. The same people that on one side want to enter BRICS but on another side want to do defense/free trade with US/Korea. thats the reason it so interesting to follow them.

UK general election: Rishi Sunak calls snap July vote​

The announcement comes on the day inflation figures buoyed Tory hopes of campaigning on an economic turnaround. That’s an uphill struggle with Labour enjoying a double-digit poll lead.

Both leaders are trying to pitch the other as a risky bet. Sunak argues Labour will set back economic recovery and risk his plans to boost U.K. defense spending at a tough global moment. His first campaign event is underway Wednesday night as the contest gets going in earnest.
