Coincidence. Putin's not THAT spineless.

No, but Russia is weak enough to have to accept it anyway. Russia needs China to buy its oil to fund the war and sell it equipment that can be used for military purposes. Russia has become increasingly dependent on China because of the war, which China will happily take advantage of, but China doesn't really need Russia for anything.

As of today China can will receive a lot less LNG. This will make China more dependent on Russia and Europe will rely more on US for LNG and oil. Trump now has a lot more  power in Europe as well, as it can decrease LNG exports to Europe as retaliation for whatever crimes Europe has committed against America.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
