Chinese leader Xi Jinping (click here) arrived in Moscow on Monday for three days of talks, in the strongest show yet of support for Russia since its invasion of Ukraine. Beijing has billed the state visit as a peace mission, which comes as a welcome show of solidarity for an increasingly isolated Moscow. Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin are styling themselves as the leaders of a new world order — and their alignment is based largely on shared opposition to U.S. power.
Officials around the world are eyeing the trip for signs it could provide Putin with a morale boost and a tacit endorsement of his brutal war. In an article published in a Russian newspaper ahead of the visit, Xi said Beijing has “always taken an objective and impartial position” on the year-old Ukraine conflict and made “efforts to promote reconciliation and peace negotiations.” Putin, meanwhile, said Russia is “open to a political and diplomatic resolution” to the war....
Communists are stuck in a two class system of inhumanity, the oppressors and the oppressed, and engage in fear in international relations regardless of it's idiocy.
Argentina is a passive, beautiful, lush part of the world where there is no conflict. Unless. The Argentine government is convinced the Falklands are a place to begin an invasion of the Free World.
The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) are a remote South Atlantic archipelago. With rugged terrain and cliff-lined coasts, its hundreds of islands and islets are home to sheep farms and abundant birdlife. The capital, Stanley, sits on East Falkland, the largest island. The town's Falkland Islands Museum has themed galleries devoted to maritime exploration, natural history,
Quite frankly, I think the Brits have been good neighbors. They need to stop playing politics at home with it. Seriously. The Brits should consider giving it Belize status.

China may be close to clinching a huge weapons sale to Argentina (click here) involving fighter jets and armored vehicles, a deal that would give Beijing military clout in a region traditionally seen as America’s sphere of influence.
This week, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Argentina’s Ambassador to China Sabino Vaca Narvaja and Argentinian Defense Minister Jorge Taiana met in Buenos Aires recently to discuss defense cooperation plans with China, which includes the possible purchase of JF-17 fighter jets, 8×8 armored vehicles and military personnel exchanges.
SCMP mentions that the JF-17, which China co-produces with Pakistan, is a potential candidate to fill the Argentine Air Force’s longstanding fighter gap. The Chinese fighter is reportedly competing against India’s HAL Tejas, Russia’s MiG-35 and secondhand Danish F-16s....
This military armament ideology of the communists is exactly the example that is needed to prove how completely stupid they are.'
Argentina has no reason to arm itself like this. Neither does South Africa. The southern hemisphere is mostly ocean. It is a highly wild ocean water, too. The one true ally the USA has in the southern hemisphere is Australia. The history of Australia and China has been one of primarily peace, cooperation in international enforcement regarding the drug trade and economic benevolence. UNTIL. Recently.
Xi has escalated international tensions beyond repair. Now, countries enjoying a good quality of life and enormously satisfying benevolent governance have to increase their military prowess because the communists, post Trump, have decided now is their only opportunity for world domination.
There is no reason to dominate international air space with a communist takeover of Argentina and South Africa. Antarctica is currently nothing more than a benevolent scientific study of Earth and its place in the universe. There is very important work taking place in Antarctica, but, that will end too as the world divides and enters into a forever war stance.
BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) is broken forever. China and Russia will be economically ostracized from the very democracies that nurtured their transition to capitalism in anticipation of a lasting peace and ever increasing quality of life of their people.
This is complete betrayal by Russia and China of the world order headed into peace and prosperity. There is no going back. Wall Street made their money and now they need a rude awakening to the reality China is not interested in wealthy men or international monetary policy. China likes controlling it's internal economy with two currencies. Their international currency won't be needed by the Free World anymore.
I don't know what is going to come out of the meeting of Putin and Xi, but, whatever makes the newspapers will be nothing but communist propaganda designed to harness the sympathies of democratically governed peoples. There won't be any worthwhile international resolve to Ukraine as China only seeks to increase global dependency on it's military machines.
France's Macron is correct. It is necessary to increase the retirement age to 64. It is a huge paradigm change for France and it is painful, however, President Macron is not blind to the future of the Free World and what it sill take to shore up it's securities, especially national securities and international alliances.
Here is the reality that should exist. Xi should be facilitating Putin's arrest.
