You've Presented A Detailed Report of the Difficulties (There is No Such thing, by

of Ukraine; Of Course, now the "Military Might of Ukraine" is Not only Spirit
And Character of Keeping the Nation's Sovereignty in Tact; Yet the Outpouring

of Weapon's Support of NATO in Unison of 'Choir Effort.' And Guess What, Yes the

World Has a Common Enemy Again, Overall, Putin and His Regime; As Memories of
Trump And George W. Bush's Regimes Fall Further From Memory; However, Trump is Still

A Player for Power; And Indeed This is a win in the Short Term at Least for American Democracy, As
So Far Trump's Comrade Putin Falling Into Global Disgrace, Removes Some of Trump's 'Playing
Value' For 2024 Political Capital in the Future, in the United States; And By Association in Some
Effect of Correlation, Those Who are in Support of Trump's Regime too; And Additionally This War in

Ukraine Shows How Differently This is Portrayed Since the Other Incursions Russia Has Played

For us, Europeans, this is not a bad thing, though. Xi is a ruthless bastard, but his goals and ambitions are elsewhere. He still sees both US and EU as strategic partners needed to fuel his economy. Yes, there is rivalry here, too, but . He also does have a different style of doing politics compared to Putin - way more calculated and it looks like he believes that economy is the greatest influence asset, much more important than military strength. Maybe he'll be able to keep this rabid dog of a country called Russia on a leash for a while, at least. But yeah, even more Chinese hegemony in the East means that a lot of nations are screwed.

By the way - Russian media outlets have started to try and convince citizens that Yuan is a superior currency to US dollar (given that they preach a huge recession coming in US) and a better alternative. Any Russian with half-brain was saving in USD or EUR before invasion, because of how volatile Rouble was. Now they are being cut off from the possibility, so state is telling them "no big deal, simply buy Yuan, it is better". Shows their faith in their own currency, lol.

Absolutely, totally.
Self-evident to me.

Hysterically Historically, Russia and China haven't gotten on.
China has territorial claims against Russia.
xi would be gleeful about pootin's humiliation.

pootin wanted to do that to Europe through the stupidity of European dependence on Russian fossil fuels.

Don't underestimate the importance of xi's military.
He has the largest offensive navy in the world and has increased military spending by over 7% recently.
Totalitarian governments value military strength, because "Might Makes Right".
Economic strength was simply a means to this end.

Yup, however, thus far Xi showed way more patience in achieving his goals than Putin did.

I mean, Putin snapped with Ukraine. He could use his political pressure and means of informational warfare to regain Ukraine under Russia's influence. It is highly likely that such plan would end up a success.

Ukrainians felt let down by their pro-western government which failed to improve their living and make country better for average citizen. They also felt let down by the west, which offered them very little apart from visas to go into some countries and become cheap workforce. They were not dealing with west on equal terms and after lack of serious intervention after Crimea annexation and Donetsk insurgency, they felt like Europe does not care for them. It was predicted that Zelensky won't be elected for a second term and his party will lose its position.

It would be easy for Putin to topple the balance in favour of Russia once again. All he needed to do was using carrot instead of a stick, giving Ukrainians a "civilizational offer" which would be better than what they had and more realistic and thus, desirable than aspirations of integration with EU. He really could use the common cultural heritage of Russia and Ukraine, instead of simply talking about it. Then, after more pro-Kremlin government would be elected, put some funding into Ukrainian public infrastructure to be seen as force for good. I mean, this is exactly what China is now doing in African countries, when they build and fund schools and hospitals.

But this would take time and Putin has set himself a goal of "making Russia great again". He is 70 years old and clock is ticking. Hence, aggression.

I think that Xi sees his action in context of longer term game for China as a whole and actually thinks about what will happen with the country after he retires/dies. These are goals for a whole country, not only his personal ones. Putin, on the other hand, have goals which he want to achieve by himself and live to see a victory. These are mainly his personal goals, Russia comes second.
