For them, it is a pleasure to burn. We all know who we are dealing with. Russia is run by men who want to make it a norm – burning lives, destroying cities and villages, dividing people, and erasing national borders through war.
There is no nation that can stop such war alone, unaided. World leaders’ engagement is needed.
Does Russia want dialogue? Ukraine has the world’s largest experience of lies from Russia during negotiations. That’s exactly why global efforts are needed. The Global Peace Summit of the leaders whom Russia won’t be able to deceive.
I am appealing to the leaders of the world who are still aside from the global efforts of the Global Peace Summit – to President #Biden@potus the leader of the #US, and to President #Xi, the leader of #China. Please, show your leadership in advancing peace. Real peace, not just a pause between the strikes.
Is anyone else impressed by #Zelenskyy giving a speech in English, under extreme stress? That building is still burning. Please, boost 🙏 🇺🇦 #Ukraine
President Zelenskyy ask for America and China to join 80 countries of the world at the global peace summit President Zelenskyy is standing in a burning building that russian barbarians hit with a missile and killed peaceful Ukrainians, he is giving a speech in English requesting the world to join together at the global peace summit to stop Putin's barbaric genocide of Ukrainians. Please, maximum boost. UKRAINIANS need our SUPPORT. THANK YOU 🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine#Ukraine
In #Kharkiv, President #Zelensky addressed the world leaders from the ruins of #Ukraine's once largest printing house.
"I am appealing to the leaders of the world who are still aside from the global efforts of the Global Peace Summit – to President #Biden, the leader of the United States, and to President #Xi, the leader of #China. Please, show your leadership in advancing peace. Real peace, not just a pause between the strikes."
This weekend is perfect timing for the ‘axis of evil’ to exert their power to pursue expansionism. Putin likely told Xi that now would be opportune to threaten Taiwan. #Xi#Taiwan#China#PLO#AxisOfEvil “Not to alarm anyone, but China has surrounded Taiwan with warships and aircraft and the DoD has issued two statements about it over the past hour.” -P McLeary
Former president Donald #Trump again invoked authoritarian leaders at a rally Thursday, a reminder of a vision he has been outlining for a potential second term.
Trump referenced Russian President Vladimir #Putin, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, Chinese leader #Xi Jinping and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orban.
Trump said the leaders were “at the top of their game, whether you like it or not.”
"Jinping's political ideology
China’s latest artificial intelligence chatbot is trained on President Xi Jinping’s doctrine in a stark reminder of the ideological parameters that Chinese AI models should abide by"
China, still bitter over 百年国耻, its century of humiliation, has not forgotten that the imperialist #colonial power that took the most land from it was Russia
And now, with a few desperate, obsequious hugs from the downtrodden mafia ghoul Putin, #Xi takes it all back, and heck of a lot more
all you need is a large population there, which China has, a little coordination, complete economic dominance, and corrupt local officials- which, being Russia, is not exactly difficult
then you de facto run the place, pesky national borders be damned
If some Russian Nationalist yells "China owns the Far East!" you pat him on the head, point at the border and say "clearly this is Russia" and smile
@Dutchinvestor alternatively, Russia descends into chaos, and, in friendly cooperation with the West, China moves into Sakha to "secure nuclear weapons and provide for the people" or whatever pleasant bs (while Japan takes Sakhalin, usa kamchatka, Finland karelia, norway kola, poland belarus, turkey circassia, Ukraine to the Volga, etc)
The West may then move out later when democracy takes hold
But China simply says "we're still concerned with security" or whatever bs
Russia willing to 'soften the border' in exchange for China's support, political scientist says
As the meeting between Vladimir #Putin and #Xi Jinping wraps up, Tom Burges Watson speaks to political scientist Dr Una Aleksandra Berzina-Cerenkova, Head of the China Studies Centre at Riga Stardins University, about how far will Russia go to secure the support of Beijing. #China#Russia#Ukraine
Chinese President #Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir #Putin condemned what they cast as increasingly aggressive #US behaviour on Thursday and pledged to deepen their countries' already close defence and military ties.

Dear Xi, Don't leave your drink near any FSB, you are well aware they like to poison.
The world's legal polonium-210 (210Po) production occurs in Russia in RBMK reactors.
Court's findings were consistent with those of the UK inquiry; it ruled that "the assassination had been carried out by" Andrey Lugovoy and Dmitry Kovtun; that there was "prima facie evidence of russian state involvement" and that there was a "strong" case that the two assassins were acting as agents of the Russian State; and that Russia had failed to investigate the murder or to identify and punish those responsible. The Court drew an adverse inference from Russia's refusal to disclose any documents from its investigation. The Court noted that the "planned and complex operation involving the procurement of a rare deadly poison, the travel arrangements for the pair, and repeated and sustained attempts to administer the poison indicated that Mr Litvinenko had been the target of the operation."
While most Western countries are concerned with extrajudicial security personnel from #China going after Chinese dissidents and other interference via secret police stations, Hungary just went and signed a deal with China: "lol, police from a totalitarian country officially patrolling our streets? sure thing"
@benroyce And that government lost all its credibility on (claimed) conservative values of protecting the family not that long ago, exposing more of their moral corruption, and yet, they cling to power.
"The Hungarian government's invitation to Chinese police officers to patrol in Hungary poses a threat to European security and in particular the freedoms of Europe's Chinese diaspora."
On the last leg of his European tour in #Hungary, Chinese President #Xi Jinping on Wednesday (8 May) is expected to tighten ties with #Budapest, its closest ally in the #EU.
#China’s ambassador to Hungary, Gong #Tao, said that “#Beijing expects from the Hungarian EU Presidency that the Hungarian side will pursue a rational and pragmatic policy towards China and will encourage other EU countries to do the same.”
