- “It’s clear Russia is totally dependent now on China. So in the end, this is not really a winning strategy from Putin.”
Chatham House’s Timothy Ash says China is ‘exploiting’ Putin’s weakness from the war in Ukraine.

Bad guys never honest to each other.
That's why no usa president is honest
There was never any friendship - just two powers attempting to use the other.
A repeat of
The non-aggression Treaty of 1939
The Molotov - Ribbontroff Agreement.
No! They have had enough of YANKY (NATO) aggression so the (Rest) 80% of the population will no longer take orders from the (West).
3 points. 1 Putin was not dragged into this war, he chose it. 2. Whilst Putin might want to negotiate, it will only be a stalling tactic to allow time to re-build his military and 3. Don't ever underestimate his willingness to use WMD, Putin cares for no one other than himself and if he sees all is lost for him he will take as many people with him as he can.
Correct
Incorrect 😂
Please stop drinking the kool aid. too much already !!!
I would say that as long he brings them up we are safe. When Russia stop speaking of them we know something is up.
Total ignorance on display here.
St Petersburg ,Russia posted some stats on it's current population!
63% women verses 37% men! The special military operation has really taken a huge leap into the abyse! Over 3 million professionals have left Russia for other countries! Russia has a shortage of over 1 million IT specialists! The healthcaee system has a shortage of doctors and healthcare workers! But, "everything is going according to the plan"!
Their has always been more females, than men
Just before the invasion I spoke to my friend who is a military strategist in the Finnish army. He just said Ukraine now has a lot of western weapons and it won’t be easy for Russia.
and now the USA’s people are against war - biden will lose to trump, the russians have better manpower & artillery than the ukrainians… so perhaps your finnish friend was wrong 🤔
I was saying this in 2019, and I also said war is inevitable.
@@leostomicek have you got anything to say that hasn't happened already?
Its a war of attrition, Russia always had the advantage, still has the advantage, is winning, and will win, so what is the point of your comment?

Chinese dictator must be now calculating if it makes any sense to pursue Taiwan. Frankly, it does not make any sense, in addition that it would be wrong on so many levels.
Better off getting Siberia.
You really think Russia won’t go nuclear while the US did it 80 years ago?
@@Devbro88US did it with impunity - they were the biggest and badass back then, and they still are today. And they weren't invading - they were retaliating in self-defense.
It's not about calculating the smart thing to do. It's an ideaological drive. They truly believe that Taiwan is their land. They want it at any cost.
China is patient, they also see the us and the west is failing and losing their ability do to immigration so they'll just wait

A sea invasion of Taiwan would be MUCH more difficult than the land invastion of Ukraine. If you want to understand this better, please read Winston Churchill's excellent tome entitled "The History of the Second World War". He describes clearly why the allies waited and prepared so long for D-day, much to the chagrin of Stalin, but ultimately with success.
Churchill was a dunce.
@@zipperpillow Wow, are you Chinese? Actually, Churchill was a genius. Please read his book, which I mentioned above, before you form an opinion. Also, please look at what he said about China.

It's absolutely interesting...
The propaganda never ends.
Central Asia moves further into China’s orbit as Ukraine war loosens Russia’s grip on former Soviet republics.
Or into Turkey's orbit. They're more culturally similar and speak more similar language than with China.
Tell us, what Russian or Chinese equipment can China use to win a huge water borne invasion of Taiwan? Anything? Compare to the D-Day invasion.
XI: You can take any part of Russia. They can't defend themselves. Go take some free land😊

I suggest a bi-lateral agreement between China and Japan. China will support Japan's rightful claim to the four small islands north of Hokkaido, and Japan will support China's rightful claim to northern Manchuria, including Vladavastok.
China and Japan have too much friction to form an alliance. Both are arguing over territory.
ru "technology"...
1) Remind me again WHERE is the "Silicon Valley" of ru? Ohh you mean these 2 buildings in St-Pet? And the 3 in moskow?
2) Remind me again the amount of Fresh Capital ru has created in that "ru Silicon Valley" over the last 2 or 3 Decades? Yes, quasi none from the inside.
3) ru technology on the battlefield in the last 30 years? I mean ru "proper Engineers" (still) in ru the last 30-years?
Well you get the idea...
I think you are a little mistaken, there are dozens of large manufacturers and developers of microelectronics in the Russian Federation, including their own microprocessors (Elbrus, Baikal, Elvis), there are large manufacturers of SSD memory, many companies produce components. We also have our own production of thermal imager matrices, electron optical converters, satellite equipment, and our own latest generation lithographic machines. The Soviet Union was the leader of computing technology in the 60s, unique ternary computers were created, Soviet developments formed the basis of the pentium processor. It is always worth pointing out that technologies are not only microelectronics, Russia is the leader of nuclear energy, the production and development of unique alloys, jet engines, the production of ultrahigh-temperature superconductors, space technologies (Almost all of Elon Musk's developments are purchased developments of the USSR and Russia).
@@hexagontactical I think you are going to be contested on many points in your statement - Russia the leader of Nuclear energy? - Chernobyl.

What planet is this report on? Russia is crushing ukraine
The funny thing is is how people keep on underestimating China even though they know deep down, China’s willing to sacrifice 10 million soldiers to take Taiwan so stop comparing the two countries. Russia is completely different. They will struggle to sacrifice 1 million soldiers.
Westerns are blind
China hasn’t fought a war since the 70s, as Russia has found out the hard way you can’t always just drown and enemy in numbers
@@ChrisMartin-xk8kr OK you can keep on thinking that and the rest of the people that have an IQ over room temperature are going to realize 10 million people are a lot of soldiers. We don’t underestimate our enemies like you do.
China knows that once Putin is dependent on foreign assistance and if he loses that’s the time China would likely take advantage of the situation
Xi has played putin like an instrument that he dance well. Cheap gas & oil, Chinese companies are taking over many businesses, dumping low quality & cheap products, Chinese mafia are not far behind with illegal drugs, gambling, human tra🎉fficking & pay off politicians.
They always do. Done it economically to a large part of the developing world.
This was clear from the start. And India was doing the same: helping an old military ally by buying their oil at a massive discount, while remaining friends with the West. Modi is playing both sides or hedging his bets, but this seems in India's best interest.
There are some territories China wants returned by Russia, this should be interesting.
China is not like the USA.
You know, I really find these videos informative, but I hate the “teaser” at the beginning. Put that in a short or something, but let me get to that part of the video on my own. It’s annoying to have to skip ahead to the question being asked first so I can get context.

@@skunkjobb depends because Jews were considered thugs

Remember when the Nazis and Russia were friends, that turned sour.
Both were invaders and acted like gangsters. China is more like a racketeer. Instead of military invasion, Beijing could simply blackmail Moscow due to economic sanctions.

Why take Taiwan when taking Siberia would be way easier and has all the resources Xi needs. China has immense local influence along the Russia-China border and into Yakutsk where there very few people but huge amounts of minerals.
China would still be under threat of nuclear response from Russia, just like the west is now. That's a pretty powerful disincentive.
Why not take taiwan ?
Actually, Russia does NOT have a 'huge' population. It is way down (9th) on the list of national populations, squeezed between Bangladesh and Mexico. Furthermore, Russia has a range of ethnic and religious groups all pulling in different directions and also has an ageing population and a very thin population distribution in many parts of the country, especially Siberia and the East. Frankly, the last thing Russia needs is a megalomaniac like Putin trying to run Russia like Stalin ran the Soviet Union. One can only hope that there are enough sane heads in the Russian military to avoid an horrendous large scale war when the inevitable collapse occurs.
russian collapse is certainly not inevitable… ukrainian collapse is inevitable
Combat Veteran Reacts‘ analysis of the Dagestan attack was that it was an ethnic minority fighting against the enemy ethic minority whom Russia chose eto support.
Taiwan is part of china
9th in the world is still pretty big. I agree that huge is a stretch, but having a 9 digit pop count is pretty close to huge.
How come everyone but Putin could see this coming?
The arrogance of an extreme narcissist knows no bounds. The irony is he has created a whole government based on people telling him what he wants to hear. They are all simply too scared or have too much to lose to do anything other than that. This has led to Putin believing his own BS and having it constantly reinforced by all those around him. His illness will eventually be his downfall.
Putin is in a bubble, completely surrounded by his yes-man. He doesn't like to hear bad, objective news or opinions. Typical gambler, losing wealth hoping for a big win in a casino.
Because it all just made-up nonsense?
Because he is taking advice from the man in mirror.
Because it isn't?
China might think that invading Russia is a good option…?
Indeed, but possibly China can attain their objectives without invading.
It's already taken a little bit. A strategic island in a river way over in the east.
Why wouldn't they do that? They only care about Asian looking people (Han) apparently.

Belgium delayed the invasion in WWi... even though they fell, that delay was critical. I fear Ukraine will be remembered the same way.
Ukraine is not just delaying Russia, they completly stoped Russia and we barrely send any help to Ukraine.
In 1944 around 4000 planes were used in France, we haven't even sent yet the few dozens that we promised to Ukraine.
Russia did grab 18% of Ukraine, they didn't win, lost assets they CAN afford (because NATO will never attack them); the Ukrainians did the fighting, the West however failed to mobilize their power, has NO strategy and this is costing Ukraine a lot of civilians and military casualties (totally unneccessary if the West had send enough anti air/missile systems and had put no limits on their usage).
The west is willing to fight its enemy's an invest billions and billions in weaponry , but crazy as it sounds , the west has a huge aversion to victory , I.e. North Korea , Vietnam , Afganistan , Iraq an others. Why is America willing to fight but unwilling to win ?
