guaranteed peace plan: GET OUT OF UKRAINE
pretty simple plan
Haaa Nemui
pretty much sums it up. Without that, all of the talk from Russia and China about respecting international law amounts to nothing.
Wang openly criticizes the U.S. for “fanning the flames” by providing DEFENSIVE weapons while Xi is in Moscow warming himself by the fire. No peace is going to happen as a result of China’s cozying up to Moscow.

2 scumbags. The world would be so much better without them.

Yeah, sure, we believe you…they’re likely agreeing on assisting each other as soon as one of them goes after Taiwan….we know what you’re doing, you’re not fooling anyone.

But China need not think of the legitimate security concerns of Vietnam, the Philippines and others when militarising rocks and reefs in the South China Sea. It's exquisite hypocrisy from China once again. Honest broker? China and honesty and truth are complete strangers to each other. Same for Russia. And they think they can trust each other? It's bound to end in tears.

Wang Wenbin beating his orchestrated drum yet again. Time to move him sideways and have fresh rhetoric delivered by a new robot.

Turn your head to the right and cough twice.

Xi,know Ukrainain has sold their soul to China in the past by selling an aircraft carrier and helping them with jet engines technology in the past and Zelensky low self esteem want to talk to someone,that will speed up his demise by helping Russian Google Ukraine Arms Sales To China

Xi Jinping in this instance makes me think of a tax collector or repo man sizing up what the next subject of collections has and what it might be worth, knowing that sooner or later, and probably sooner, the owner won't be able to protect it effectively and it will be available for the taking. I could be wrong but my gut tells me Xi Jinping has his eyes not just on Taiwan but on certain valuable things to his north.

Xi may not have commented about the arrest warrant, but the representatives of 1/3 of the ICC member states attending the 2nd International Conference 'Russia Africa' who arrived in Moscow before Xi, and applauded Putin's morning address to them on their second day certainly did, and left no doubt that they regarded this iteration of the ICC as lacking impartiality.
And as ICC member states, the feelings of their governments are more important than Xi's OR Biden's

Yup! Outer Manchuria, maybe the entirety of the Russian far east. It's as mineral and water rich as China is poor, and as sparsely populated as China is not.
Putin my be gambling with something far more valuable than a few Ukranian onlasts.

China the great peacemaker? What a load of BS!
China’s making money off of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by playing both side because it has no moral compass.. This much is true.
elephant200
Two hero's indeed!

The two leaders put the twisted history since the demise of Soviet Union back on track. They should do more to save the world!
Haaa Nemui
Nothing has proved why an anti-Russian bulwark is needed more than the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

That's nice but his plan is a joke until he takes the call from Zelenskyy so he can be told the truth about the Russian warcrimes.
Fredrik
Really? Where can we find these positive responses? Leaving the Ukraine conflict aside for a moment, how can we justify these leaders stuffing themselves with seven-course meals in golden palaces, payed for by the people?

The worlds two most evil men toasting evil deeds and expanding their evil empires through war and conflict. So sad for humanity and the planet.

LOL, more CCP brain damage. It has sucked up all the cheap oil and gas from Russia, AND offered friendship to a dictator that aggressively invaded its neighbour. ROTFL, how can anyone take any Chinese statement on face value?

There are 200 kids in a school cafeteria. Each table is a little "cliche" as the kids talk/eat with others they like. The like them not through intimidation or bullying, but because they play fairly and are generally nice and a good friend when something terrible happens.
Then there are a few empty tables with 1 kid each. For some reason, nobody wants to invite them to their tables. The surest way NOT to be invited is to be mean towards everyone.
They get to talk to themselves. They each have one other friend, NK and Belerus. They may have other acquaintances due to circumstances (maybe daddy has money or .... oil ... or cheap labor), but they aren't really "friends".
Russia and China are like those kids. Others will only deal with them when they have no other choice.

China comes up with a plan that Russia won't fulfill. Not sure what there is for Ukraine to respond to here.
Jasper Cole
Russia needs to recognize that China can never be someone's friend. Prepare yourself for a backstab!
Kuku
Russia remembers well that there are only two friends of her - the army and the navy. So, don't worry about Russia. Worry about the enemies of Russia.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Russia had the opportunity to not be a pariah state. If you set yourself up to threaten everyone else's freedom you should expect to be isolated.

The file photo immediately above shows the two leaders are toasting kanpai in front of the tapestry seemingly depicting Pyotr the Great (Peter 1 of Russia), who gives an audience to the heads of the vassals he had just subjugated. If so, does it mean Vladimir Putin's whole agenda, including Ukraine as well, is a purr-chance to dream for a greater Russia?

Correction:
It may be Ivan the Great, et cetera, rather than Pyotr the Great, etc., that are embroidered on the tapestry.
