Russia and Ukraine

[Leonardo17]

lol, Russia hasn't been "disruptive" because it didn't say so in the article? Aside from Ukraine, you could also look at Georgia or Chechnya to see their malign intent and deeds. As for China, their behavior in South China Sea belies "peaceful intent". They want peace, to be sure, in the sense that they prefer bloodless gains to fighting for them.

As was posted at the main gate of my nuclear-bomber base: War is our profession, peace is our product.

Xi said that he would take Taiwan “by force if necessary” and he also said that his tie of friendship to Russia is “limitless” + there are several “clans” in the Chinese political system. (3 or 4 of them I believe). With Xi in power there is only his clan. Meaning there is no one left to contradict him on any issue + he is “the president for life”. As far as I know many people are very worried on this. + If he starts diving weapons + ammo + modern components to be used in military equipment to Russia, It’s the start of Cold War II. The China of 20 years ago wouldn’t want that. I’m quite sure of that. But this Xi-Chi-Ping? – I don’t know. He seems to be a sane person but Putin was also a very sane person at least in the beginning
