      If I had to make a completely wild and uneducated guess it’s that they see that Russia has now began to fully escalate the war effort and Western media is preparing to backtrack about Ukraine winning by saying, “Well ackchyually it was Ukrainian media that was falsely claiming they were doing so well, not us.”

              Good! It might push Vietnam and China to solve their differences and become close allies. If the West keep this up, they’ll manage to unite every single non-Western country against them. Just like Mao predicted.

                “If the U.S. monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war, the day is bound to come when they will be hanged by the people of the whole world. The same fate awaits the accomplices of the United States.” - Mao Zedong, Speech at the Supreme State Conference (08/09/58)

                I hope it happens sooner than later.

              China also out of nowhere warned Vietnam about not heading down the path of Ukraine right before Enes came out with his shoes. Maybe the CIA is really activating goons inside the country.

        Similar energy as NYT throwing Judith Miller under the bus and scapegoating her as the sole reason for NYT spreading Iraq war lies.

      Ukraine might actually draw the precious west into the war they keep provoking, so now they are backing out

      Maybe the president told the state owned DW to take away support after Ukraine dissed him.
