The Dragon-Bear Hug

TO SAY THAT THE recent three-day visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow for a tête-à-tête with Russian President Vladimir Putin gave Washington goosebumps, would be an understatement. America’s Joe Biden administration had “warned” China not to militarily support Russia in Ukraine

This warning, despite the evidence of Russia using Chinese drones in Ukraine, was laughed at by Beijing with China’s foreign ministry responding that Chinese support to Russia would be similar to US support to Taiwan.

Xi Jinping’s peace plan for Ukraine was shot down by Washington as the US simply does not want a ceasefire in Ukraine. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had warned that Xi’s proposal which calls for the respect of sovereignty and territorial integrity but does not condemn the invasion or call for Russian withdrawal from occupied territories could be a stalling tactic. But many American scholars, strategists and former military and intelligence officials have placed on record that Russian special operations in Ukraine were forced by expanding NATO and posing an existential threat to Russia.

The POTUS is a puppet of America’s arms, oil and pharma lobbies of the US. POTUS who cannot effectively change gun laws in his own country must abide by the diktat of America’s ‘deep state’ to wage war against Russia using Ukraine as proxy. Not surprisingly Biden remains high and publicly shakes hands in thin air; while China continues to pump more and more fentanyl in the US.
