A clown with zero knowledge will be parading himself up and down the thread with propaganda..

Clown say Xi get term limits😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What a cliche that a clown who has been licking china's a** doesn't even have a clue about how the country works!!

Xi has consolidated power in china, only death or medical incapacitation can remove him from power....

March 2018, China's National People's Congress (the country's parliament) approved a constitutional amendment that removed the previous two-term limit on the presidency, allowing him to remain in power indefinitely

It might not be instant but it is as certain as the sun rising.

One random day you'll wake up to the news.
the retaliation is a foregone conclusion

on the responses here, the nature of our discourse here is universal across all of the pro-axis communities
whether english, russian, chinese
anyone who wants to can verify
there is a ladder of escalation that goes from sinking us lng carriers to nukes flying and most folks want putin to get on the ladder
everyone is pissed

⚡Macron on Africa:

We reviewed—and we were right to do so—our military bases. This was seen as an abandonment; make no mistake.

We have acted with consistency and rebalanced the partnership.

It is a partnership of equals.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 5:01pm On Jan 08
⚡French President Macron:

There are two paths that do not suit us: blindly following the return of the law of the strongest—this is the choice of happy vassalisation—and the moral posture of saying we can do nothing while claiming righteousness.

Neither serves the interests or the values of France and Europe.

⚡Watters: How does taking out a dictator in Venezuela help the average American?

Vance: It means is we are going to be able to control the incredible natural resources of Venezuela.

⚡European Council President António Costa:

Greenland belongs to its people. Nothing can be decided about Denmark or about Greenland without Denmark or without Greenland.

They have the full support and solidarity of the European Union.

LordAdam16:
just to be clear
the houthis blew up hegemonic ocean liners and the entire world watched them burn and sink
the houthis downed more than a dozen hegemonic drones
the houthis fired on us warships and led to the loss of two fighter jets
all of that happened within the last year
heaven did not fall
the houthis still run yemen . whatever bs putin and xi are serving is specific to them
a different tsar and emperor will act differently

if the houthis and iran can target us assets and drop missiles on us bases
xi and putin have no excuse

-Lord
To be fair, the Houthis have nothing to lose or less to lose compared to China. I am ignorant of its current military strength, but do we really expect China to defend Venezuela in America's backyard? Yes, the US is currently in China's backyard, but that was when China was not as rich as it is today.

I agree that China needs to openly defend its interests, but the stakes are quite high because I think the Chinese don't want a flurry of sanctions to be imposed when they aren't yet ready.

I went through the comment section of an FT article, and in there, they discussed how tariffs will be massively increased once the US has a grip on rare earth minerals, with a timeline of 2-3 years. How the Chinese plan to counter a loss of rare earth mineral dominance is yet to be seen.

I like how our lying pro-Western folks have kept quiet about Venezuela being a drug den ever since the noisemaker called Trump came clean about attacking Venezuela because he wants their oil and not because of drugs.

⚡The crew of the US-seized oil tanker Marinera turned out to be predominantly Ukrainian:

That will not happen in our lifetime. USA lacks the means to refine rare earths and China has made it nearly unprofitable for companies to venture into the sector.

⚡Russia rejects the US-European security proposals for Ukraine and condemns the Trump administration for seizing the Russian-flagged tanker.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova calls the statements in Paris “militarist declarations” from an “axis of war,” rejecting them as “dangerous” and “destructive”.

Says Western troops in Ukraine will “be considered legitimate military targets for the Russian Armed Forces”.

all commentary about xi's hesitancy conveniently skips china's modern history

1. china has defended its core interest when its capabilities were less than 1% of its current capabilities and when the US was by far more powerful than her
2. china talks a big game particularly about multipolarism and a fair rebalancing of the global order and has to walk the talk

the rest of us were on our own until xi and co came with their "i have a dream" spiel

north korea, venezuela, cuba, syria, iran, russia
that was it
out of 193 countries
if you can't go to bat for your core 6 allies then why is he wasting everyone's time

china adds more ships every year to its navy than the us, south korea, and japan combined
it adds the entire french navy to its navy every four years
does xi think the us will wait until he has every duck in a row and is as ready as a kitted up templar knight before making a move
is usrael waiting until iran rebuilds its defenses and tests a nuke before having a round 2

of those 6, syria is gone, venezuela just got smacked across the face but is still holding on, iran is about to fight an existential war for the second time in 6 months, russia is taking on all of nato and has the scars to prove it, cuba is in an icu
north korea is only being spared because south korea consider them siblings and has rebuffed the hegemony at every turn to activate that front

interestingly, venezuela does not need an active intervention
it only needs an economic lifeline
dispatch a flotilla to reliably break the blockade
that's it
the worst that'd happen is troop deployment and venezuela is vietnam on steroids

6 out of 193 countries
and the largest economy, navy, and most populous country on the planet is giving excuses that would embarrass f*cking sandal-wearing militants in yemen
and it's not like these countries are basket cases
russia is a superpower. iran is formidable. both have their respective hegemonies and are civilization states, venezuela has the largest oil reserves. cuba is a small island nation in a prime location facing off a foe that could practically squash it like a bug. north korea is ride or die.
each one of them is a first round pick of resilience and sheer f*cking chutzpah deserving of xi's overt support and yet he's dropping lamba about international law
f*ck international law. f*cking act.

does he think the us will stop with venezuela
let them finish up setting up their alternate supply chains for chips, rare earth, and the core industrial metals
they will give every major supplier of chinese raw materials the same choice they gave maduro
kick out the chinese or spend the night in rikers
they already attempted same in panama and in the netherlands
just outrightly try to seize chinese billions in investment and unceremoniously kick 'em out and there's no war yet
