Western Hysteria Over Xi-Putin Meeting Exposes Opposition to Peace in Ukraine

Xi Jinping's trip to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin have prompted a flurry of diversions and denunciations from the West. International geopolitical consultant, speaker, author, veteran, and former international security analyst David Oualaalou unpicks the motives behind them.


The West's focus on Beijing's blueprint for peace in Ukraine amid the Russia-China leaders' summit betrays its intent to prolong the conflict, a geopolitical analyst has said.
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby reacted to the three-day meeting in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping by branding Beijing's 12-point plan for a ceasefire "unacceptable" — comments echoed by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The UK has doubled down on the race to arm Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky's regime to the teeth with the announcement that it will provide depleted uranium (DU) armour-piercing rounds for the 14 Challenger 2 tanks it is gifting to Kiev.

David Oualaalou told Sputnik that the US media should be honest that "we, the West, do not want a peaceful initiative that will be initiated by China."

"President Xi is in Moscow already and the media already is focusing too much about what he's going to be talking about: Ukraine," he said, adding that "Ukraine is going to be just part of the conversation."

Far more important were financial moves to "truly cripple the US dollar in every transactions between the countries," with a "digital currency or whatever that is going to be backed by gold, not the US dollar," pointing out that "the two countries that are really amassing massive gold are Russia and China."
The consultant also called the attempt by International Criminal Court — not recognised by either Russia, China or the US — to upstage the summit by charging Putin with mass child abduction days earlier "ludicrous" asking: "What credibility does the ICC have?"
He said the move would only prevent talks between Russia and Ukraine's NATO backers going ahead, killing any hope Kiev may have of winning back some territory at the negotiating table, stressing: "That territory is not returning back to Ukraine. It's done. That's to me, what it means."

The analyst said the dozen points in China's plan — including an end to the West's "Cold War mentality" and its resort to unilateral sanctions were "pragmatic" and "straightforward" — but Washington is just not interested.

"The reason why we the US, we collective West, are opposing to this is we do not want a peace initiative to be initiated by non-Western countries such as China," Oulaalou said. "That's how much we want the conflict to drag on."

"At the same time our credibility on the global stage has been shattered because we have never been that honest broker," he added. "Look no further than the Arab-Israeli conflict."
By contrast, China has just succeeded in helping mend relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia after years of knife-edge tensions — a low-key diplomatic effort that excluded the West.

"The negotiations were not conducted in English," Oulaalou noted. "The communique that came out of that trilateral meeting was not in English language. And right there, it sends a clear message to how irrelevant the US is becoming when it comes down to issues like this of brokering a peace."

"This is why we are objecting to China taking the initiative, to put an end to the Ukrainian conflict because some entities within Washington do not want that," he added. "The fact that China brokered a deal on the Ukraine conflict says a lot about where the current global order is."


The commentator recalled how Boris Johnson rushed to Kiev in early April 2022 to talk Zelensky out of approving a Russian peace proposal that would have likely committed Ukraine to remaining neutral of NATO and ceding its claim to Crimea and the Donbass republics in return for a quick rapid end to hostilities.
"Boris Johnson was dispatched by the United States because we didn't want to be on the stage," Oulaalou said. "It's no different than what's going on right now," he added in the wake of Washington's rejection of a ceasefire.
Beijing's peace plan is far more likely to end the conflict than the West's policy of arming Ukraine while demanding Russia withdraw unconditionally, simply because it has a better relationship with Moscow and "will be able to convince Russia" to come to terms. "Russia is not going to see us also knowing how this initiative is going to be sabotaged," he stressed.

The United States government does not even want Ukraine to win.
They just want the conflict to continue indefinitely in order to weaken Russia.

I disagree.
Prolonging the conflict can not 'weaken' Russia without devastatingly 'weakening' the West.
Plus the West is only a small minority.
The majority in Asia, Africa and Latin America are supporting Russia.
The West doesn't have the resources for a prolonged conflict with Russia.
Just look at how much damage Russia has wreaked on their economy and standard of living in just one year. It's very significant.
But anyways...I'm open to the US sacrificing Ukrainian lives to 'weaken' Russia smiley
I support it.

A flower-laying ceremony was held on Friday in Serbia’s capital of Belgrade to commemorate the 24th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia.

The ceremony was led by Minister of Labor, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Nikola Selakovic, and was attended by Russian Ambassador Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, Belarusian Ambassador Valery Brilev, President of the Union of War Veterans of the National Liberation Wars of Serbia (SUBNOR) Vidosav Kovacevic, as well as public figures and numerous ordinary citizens.

The commemoration took place in Belgrade’s Tasmajdan Park, where a monument depicting a child with wings and engraved with the inscription "We were just children" has been erected. The monument portrays Milica Rakic, a three-year-old girl who was killed by shrapnel on April 17, 1999, in the bathroom of her home in a suburb of Belgrade, which was located far from any military facilities. According to the Serbian government, Milica was among the 87 children who were killed in the NATO bombings.

Friday marks the 24th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, which was unleashed on March 24, 1999, and lasted for 78 days. The alliance’s leadership argued that the main rationale for the operation, codenamed Allied Force, was to prevent the genocide of Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian population. According to NATO sources, its aircraft flew 38,000 sorties and carried out 10,000 bombing strikes.

The bombardments killed, according to Serbian estimates, 3,500-4,000 people, and left about 10,000 others (two-thirds of them civilians) injured. Material damages totaled up to $100 billion. During the three months of the bombing campaign, NATO forces dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium in bombs and shells on Serbia. Subsequently, the Balkan country’s cancer rates surged to first place in Europe. In the first ten years following the bombardments, about 30,000 people developed cancer, of which an estimated 10,000-18,000 died.

The United States is reportedly investigating the reason why its air defense system was not fully operational during a strike on a US base in Syria.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said earlier in the day that the US military had carried out airstrikes on facilities belonging to groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) after an Iranian drone attacked a coalition base in northeast Syria, killing one US contractor.


The US military does not know at present why the system did not work as it should and the circumstances are under investigation, the report said, citing two officials. (You guys should wait, they'll soon go and concoct one lie/excuse to feed you guys) grin

One of the officials explained that the Avenger missile defense system on the base, named RLZ, may have been experiencing some unexpected maintenance issue, despite the fact that the troops were on high alert given that Iranian-backed groups had conducted 78 attacks in the past two years, US media reported.

Two service members injured during the attack were treated on site, while three others were evacuated to the medical facility in Iraq along with a wounded contractor, a release issued late Thursday by the Pentagon detailed.

The Defense Department did not reveal the identity of the killed person, pending notification of family, one official said, according to the report.

US officials said on Friday that Iran-backed militias fired about a dozen of rockets while attacking a second US base in the area, but that strike did not result in casualties. (Na lie o...it's damage control...so the US can save face ...shey you understand) grin

The US military controls parts of the provinces of Al-Hasakah, Raqqa, Aleppo and Deir Ez-Zor, where the largest Syrian oil and gas fields are located. The Syrian government has repeatedly called the US military presence in the provinces an occupation aimed at stealing Syria’s oil.

If you decided to relocate to Russia, buying a house or a land plot is a good alternative to purchasing an apartment. Below we will explore Russian house and land market, check legal aspects and share other useful tips.

Choosing the right land plot
Russian house and land market boasts thousands of great offers, and it is important to make the right choice. Make sure the land type meets your needs: Agricultural lands can be used for farming only. Residential buildings are not allowed. Foreign citizens are not allowed to own agricultural lands, but can rent them for a long term. Residential lands allow building private houses and garages as well as growing a garden. Foreign citizens are allowed to purchase residential land plots except those close to the state border. There are several other things to check: the plot's borders on the map should match with what the seller showed on the ground; if any electricity lines cross the plot, its use may be restricted; if the plot is close to a river or lake, its owner must ensure free public access to the shore, etc. You can always check the land plot size, status and borders at the Public Cadastral Map searching by the land plot's cadastral number or address.

Russian Homestead Act
Effective 2016 all Russian citizens are eligible to get a free land plot of up to 1 hectare in the Russian Far East. This initiative attracted several thousands of Russian settlers and potential immigrants from abroad. Unfortunately, as of now most immigrants are not eligible for participating in this program except those immigrating as Russian language native speakers. However, the land in Russia is not really expensive, and though most foreigners can't get a free land plot, they can easily and inexpensively buy it.

Choosing the right house
Starting from the 1990s Russia has been experiencing a private housing boom. Millions of brick, wooden and frame country houses in traditional Russian, Finnish, Swiss and German styles have been built. When purchasing a house it is important to pay attention to the following: The house must be registered with the local authorities. Otherwise it won't be possible to officially reside there. The house must comply with the building standards. For example, a private house must not be higher than 20 m or have more than 3 floors; it can't be built on water and gas pipes, too close to other buildings, etc. The house should be officially connected to electricity, water and gas lines. One more useful tip: many modern houses have electric heating system, but it will be quite expensive in winter. Gas heating is the best solution.

Checking the costs
The best website to check the real cost for a house or a land plot in Russia and to find all relevant offers is Avito.ru. You can filter offers by price, land size, location, etc. On average the prices for a standard residential land plot range from $2,000 to 20,000 depending on its location. A modern house together with the plot may cost $40,000 — $200,000. (Prices start at $1,000,000 in Vancouver, Canada. China is the main investor in these properties and even those who refer to themselves as Canadian cannot afford property ownership).
Legal procedures
The land and house purchasing procedure in Russia is similar to buying an apartment. The sales contract should be registered with the Federal Cadastral Service. It can be done at any public services center (called МФЦ in Russian). If the owner is below 18 and in some other cases the contract should be certified by a notary. Also, it is very important to double-check with the state registry the seller's ownership rights. Purchasing a house or a land plot is always a very important deal with hundreds of details. Our team will be glad to provide you with legal support, analyze offers' advantages and disadvantages and make sure the deal is risk-free.

You seem to be describing the West.



Ok bro grin
It's unnecessary to engage an individual who has no comprehension of current affairs.


Pele grin
I no know say e go enta ur body lyk dat grin I no get apology
.....anyways, your disposition
"I don’t give a Kentucky fried fvcks!" is noted.
Instead of echoing marketable Western propaganda headlines designed and directed towards a specific audience to impair the perception of facts and reality of these few persons in an attempt to keep them in a state of mental wilderness aimed at creating an enabling environment for a seamless reign of manipulation, use your meds and stay abreast with past/current developments.

PS: It's only an insane person that'll equate the gigantic strides of China (development, innovation, advancement in all ramifications etc) to that of the lagging West (the West is unable to meet China's current level of development in the next 20 years).

He went on to say that China is the main economic competitor of the United States, and after attempts to suppress Russia, the United States will take on China. According to him, Russia irritates the US because "not only does it pursue an independent policy of bolstering the multipolar world, but in many ways surpasses America in spiritual, moral and military spheres.
