While Kremlin propaganda feeds Russians fairy tales about “great friendship” and “strategic partnership without limits,” Chinese media calmly discusses exactly how those limits will be redrawn. Not someday in the distant future — but when Russia collapses. And according to Chinese authors, preparations should begin now.

      They’re not gonna fight. This one is over before it started, Russia is already well along the path to becoming a Chinese client state.

        I also make jokes about climate change. Not because I don’t think it’s real, but because I am powerless to do anything about it and humor is my sole way of coping with anything.

            That seems a bit of a stretch in terms of geopolitical cooperation, and if we are going off nuclear arsenal concentrations and overall military budgets, it would likely end up with the majority of WWIII’s damage coming from the US and China regardless.

              Oddly I could maybe see Trump siding with Russia and the EU siding with China.
