Putin asked Xi and Xi asked Putin.......... Can you help me? I’m dying!.
That’s exactly right.
Russia, as they get tangled up with China, is getting into a relationship where China is far-far more influential and powerful in EVERY respect.
China is a monster. 31% of the worlds manufacturing base! 5 times Russia’s PPP, 8 TIMES Russia’s military spending in reality... And and and. This is not a love fest between equals. As Russia climbs into bed with the Chinese, who’s on top and who’s bottom will become evident soon enough.
You speak of what was, not what is.
Presently, neither is
Did they French kiss and “sword fight”?
Biden of course is with Putin and Xi.
Interesting.
You realize your statement is true and self explanatory?
I'm pretty sure NeoCons, Democrats and Globalists don't.
Understood, I read that in.
Because Biden is an incompetent, unreliable lower level employee.
One more thing.
Just the other day Putin met Xi China and he talked about - celebrated - 75 years of China-Russian relations.
Putin does not differentiate the country he leads today from the Soviet Union.
What Russia and China hid for 30 years was the degree of cooperation they had. It is becoming more evident that the fall of Communism was an illusion, with the two major powers adopting the equivalent of a Trojan Horse, with the development of a partial market economy and, in the case of Russia, a veneer of Christianity, while the Communists remaining in control.
“ What Russia and China hid for 30 years was the degree of cooperation they had. ”
Yes, but to me it was hidden in plain sight.
Perhaps I’m one of the few who paid attention.
Russia kept selling them fighters, fighter tech transfer, aircraft carrier tech etc…
All while Clinton was giving them MIRV tech.
Here for example is a 2010 WSJ article.
—
ZHUHAI, China—A year after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a cash-strapped Kremlin began selling China a chunk of its vast military arsenal, including the pride of the Russian air force, the Sukhoi-27 fighter jet.
For the next 15 years, Russia was China’s biggest arms supplier, providing $20 billion to $30 billion of fighters, destroyers, submarines, tanks and missiles.

And they didn’t just sell them, they sold tech transfer so Chicoms could make their own versions.
Putin’s entire reign is thanks to this.
