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.

Great, that means we're gonna see more fascist idiots in power in Europe. And congress is too spineless and/or lazy to just have him locked up to make him an example to the other fascists out there what happens when they fuck around. The best we've gotten is ICE scum being arrested by real cops.

The whole world needs to start standing up to this overgrown schoolyard bully with a micropenis, like people should have done to him decades ago. I don't understand why they won't, but I guess it's because money talks louder even if it comes from an orange tumor.
