Leading Russia Watcher in China Makes Surprise Ukraine War Prediction
Newsweek ^ | 16 April 1963 | Micah McCartney

Posted on 04/16/2024 3:21:43 PM PDT by Apparatchik

A Chinese specialist on Russia has delivered a grim forecast for Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine: that it is doomed to fail.

Peking University professor Feng Yujun is also cooling on the future of Beijing-Moscow relations, writing in a recent op-ed in The Economist that the two nations have diverging visions of the future of global affairs.

If you don’t like it here chikie, LEAVE!

You’ll find kindred spirits at the DU. (But I’m sure you already know that.)

Not sure if I buy that...could be China trying to play both sides for their own agenda.

China’s approach is “Let you and him fight.”

That’s really why we should take this seriously. If the regime didn’t support it, we’d never hear about it.

““Ukraine is losing ground DAILY.”

Amazing how they can be “losing ground” when weeks ago, months ago, years ago they had already been completely wiped out with “nothing left” - as claimed by Kazan himself:

One such example from 3/1/2023 - well over a whole year ago now: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4135011/posts

How can Ukraine be “losing ground” now when there hasn’t been any ground at all left for well over a year?

If and when Ukraine ultimately does collapse, Kazan and his brigade will no doubt claim it proves they were “right all along” even though they have repeatedly and consistently been completely and totally wrong for 2 years plus and counting.

Isn’t this like the 15th or 20th “major advance”? And you’re still less than 100 miles inside Ukraine.

Give it up, already. You have no legal right to be there.

Not a fan of Fox News either. I was once, but that ship sailed several years ago.

If you can’t comprehend the reality of Putin’s war of conquest here is some reality to consider the price being paid for his ambition of conquest.

Three-quarter of a million casualties after two years but by all means post more Sleestak memes and cartoons to help you make sense of it.

Russia does have to be concerned about China and their own border disputes.

You think this guy is saying anything publicly that Beijing didn’t approve of you are beyond naive.

Your comment pretty much sums it up.

Just substitute the name Biden for Putin in his four reasons for Russia’s defeat in Ukraine and you have something closer to the truth. Borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars to fund an endless proxy war is insane. Russia shares a 1,400 mile border with Ukraine. It is not going anywhere.

The longer a NATO v Russia war lasts, the better it will be for Russia.

If the Americans actually fight the Russians in Ukraine, it will be like the Persian Gulf War.

But it won't happen because Putin will nuke us at that point.
