So, Zelensky finally got the phone call from Xi Jinping that he’s been “begging” for (Alex Christoforou’s choice of words), and the guys at The Duran had a brief, for them, discussion of what it all means—fifteen and a half minutes.
“Xi stated that Chinese diplomats would be pushing these ideas with European powers: Germany, France, Italy. These are countries who major export market is China…” (Mercouris)
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when Xi calls Macron and the other Euros: “what was that you said the other day about strategic autonomy?” If Macron ever thought he’d have some leverage over Putin, he’s met his match now. Let’s just hope Xi can hear his response - M has had to travel with a generator truck to give speeches because the EDF (electricity unions) keep cutting the power (!) everywhere he goes…but seriously, the Chinese are light-years ahead of the ludicrously incompetent bunch in DC.
Will the high school team surrounding DementiaJoe grasp that they’re up against pros in the Show? Nope. We are governed by dangerous morons who are too dumb to know how dumb they are.
…and we all know plenty of them…and the media, which continues to collude in protecting this lunacy by agreeing to “cheat sheets” for Zhou, printed in advance of a press briefing with the name and the question of the reporter on it. How long can this charade go on???
Ya just gotta laugh man, these people make the Three Stooges look like Sherlock Holmes!! If you’re like me, you look on in total disbelief and ask yourself, “Are they really this stupid?”. Apparently the answer is YES! And we all know you can’t fix stupid.
... and likely to become a point of tension between Russia and the CCP: Russia is actively interested in ensuring she has at worst neutral border states. A mega grain producer and gas line conduit via Ukraine aligned *strategically* with China will make Russia as discomfitted as a proto-NATO entity. These are times of exceptional opportunism in the unstable "enemy of my enemy is my friend" mode: won't last, history rolls along

I think Z called Xi, for some rejected ambassador issue. Xi didn't call him.
As these things go, the important thing is that Xi took Zee's call.
That’s strong

Thank a Biden voter!

Dave: Your comment is patently unfair to High School students everywhere and word on the street is that the moron lobby is pretty upset as well :-)
LOL. My bad. Sorry!

"Ukraine could play a significant future role in China's Belt & Road Initiative"
Absolutely true.

Who said: “never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to f&”k up whatever he does “.? Our words to that effect.
