       As I have said before, so long as Eurocentrist Xi is in charge,

       Xi personally courted Putin, so it would be embarrassing to have
       a public break from Russia at this point – doing so would
       indicate that Xi perhaps made a poor decision.
       >
       > It is why Beijing has, more than a year into the war, shied

       take a side.

       > While they're often thought of as close allies, recent reports
       suggest that Russia and China's relationship may be more

       Empty slogans of liberation and unity are certainly a
       Marxist\Lenist\-Communist phenomenon that even the MAGA
       Communists are capable of. Do true friends put a time limit on
       friendship? The concept of: "I will be your friend for the next
       5 years, after that you might be my enemy, I guess we will cross
       that bridge when we get to it?", works in forming friendships
       and alliances in ordinary civilian life? No wonder Hitler never
       trusted the U.S.S.R.!!!
