Trump destroys everyone he touches...and now that includes Putin. Xi can see the handwriting.

There is too much to lose if Xi cozies up any more to Putin. He may but it will have to be kept secret. And if Putin can't brag about any accomplishments Si won't be of much help. Xi would be better off dealing with Zelenski.

1. Sounds like Xi and Putin only tolerate each other .....

Both do not want to share total domination of the earth.

2. I get pleasure imagining that Putin really hates sucking up to Xi

3. Well, Trump did to Putin! What did he gain?

4. I feel Xi sees Putin as a wounded animal right now. Xi will take advantage of that

6. Yes Xi certainly will turn the calamity to an advantage for China.

Putin lied to Xi about a quick invasion.

Xi and Putin were to be the sole 21st century superpowers and Putin screwed it up.

China cannot go ahead with their planned invasion of Taiwan in the near future.

And Xi is having to help Putin with the war despite Putin supposedly having the #2 military in the world.

But China will turn it to their advantage, somehow.

5. Xi is expanding Chinese influence in Central Asia...

a weakened Putin works in his favor.

7. Putin has shown Xi that he has a paper army, why shouldn't Xi take note...

8. Everyone of these posts are right!

XI was checking to see how bad it was. He knows that all of the countries have joined together to fight Putin. China has been threatening Taiwan for years. Also China is not in the best shape right now with the virus and other problems.

He sees tfg in hot water for being a lying, grifting mobster. He sees many going to jail. The Ukraine is turning out to be stronger than they thought.
