Short 🧵
So Putin and Xi had a video conference.
Apparently it was all very cozy.
Against all the naïve predictions of the dopes who believed Russia/China could never be more than a strained marriage of convenience, there appears to be A LOT of romance in the relationship.

Sure, it may not last long, compared to some marriages.
But I predict it lasts at least a decade, and probably much more.
The US State Department is not pleased. It has issued “warnings” to the two lovers.

"Beijing claims to be neutral, but its behavior clearly shows that it continues to invest in close ties with Russia," a State Department spokesman said.
They then commanded China to cease further military support for Russia, and to stop defying US sanctions edicts.
Oh, my!

Of course, here in the 21st century, any relationship would not be “modern” were it not at least a triangle.
That’s where the Persians come in.
They have also been commanded to cease further military support for Russia, and to stop defying US sanctions edicts.
Oh, my! 😱

The Imperial Masters in Washington and London have achieved the heretofore unthinkable geopolitical folly of joining the three key Eurasian poles of power in a strong military / economic alliance, all with an explicit aim of destroying American hegemony.
And so they will.
