    It’s really interesting that he’s using terminology that has been used in thirty + years describing Russia.

    Oh for the love of god the bias is insane, how about this. In 08 Bush was told that pushing NATO up to russias border would cause a war. Bush didnt ignore that info he just didnt care, because bush is a monster and oil. EU didnt want to mess with russia but the US owns NATO so it happened.
    NATO is a nuclear military force that has been invading countries for decades, putin warned the west back off.
    This inst wbout “freedom”. Putin probably will use a nuke now i think about it. Its what kennedy would have done, its what any leader would do to keep there country or maintain power.
    So keep feeding ukraine weapons US, prolong the war, build up the body count till putin drops a nuke.

    Stop making fun of this guy, they’re from a different time. It might have been the 18th century, he saw the constitution being signed. He knows what he’s talking about.

    I’m glad the secretary clarified at the end that Japan, South Korea and especially Taiwan don’t themselves have nuclear weapons but have the technical know-how to produce them if necessary. I almost fell off my seat for a few seconds when he implied that Taiwan _had_ “significant nuclear capabilities.” Capabilities not to use them right now but to produce them in fairly short order if they chose to. And naturally, Xi should be making clear to Putin that he loses China’s support if he complicates things for China.

    So USA think they can tell China what to tell the Russia?
    Maybe USA should clean its own backyard first

    But China won’t, because they’re too hopeful seeing whether “the coast is clear” for them to go ahead and make that Taiwan grab.
    And to even ADMIT that Putin’s losing ground just wouldn’t fit the party agenda.

    I would be a lot more worried about social engineering attacks than about “somebody hacking in”.

    Ukraine got rid of their nukes specifically in exchange for security guarantees from basically the entire world. It was called the “Budapest memorandum”. And just a few years later in 2014, the whole world demonstrated that their promises are worthless when they just let Putin invade and steal Crimea.
    Here’s a recording of the lingering orange fart from just ten days before where he says *”We need an economic crash, and riots, and chaos to make America great again.”
    Donald Trump, live on Fox And Friends, in 2014* – followed by *ten straight minutes of praise for Putin*.

    Hoping Xi, a self-aggrandizing dictator who changed the law to become the permanent leader of China, to talk Putin, a self-aggrandizing dictator who changed the law to become the permanent leader of Russia, out of using nuclear weapons, is like hoping a lion would talk a cat out of hunting.

    Anything nuclear by Russia is of severe concern for China, as any radiation drift will be toward the east from Ukraine, meaning the radioactive cloud would travel across China. Don’t believe the Western propaganda that China is on Russia’s side! Currently China is cooperating economically with the Ukraine as well as with Russia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan and the Philippines as well as with most nations globally including the U.S. and U.S. allies.
    You can be sure that Xi and Putin are indeed in conversation, albeit behind the scenes.
