  • “If Russia loses the war, then whoever replaces Putin is not going to be able to hold onto 11 timezones of nation. Manchuria was only stolen from China 200 years ago. They want Manchuria back and they’re going to get it.”
    Diane Francis discusses the fragile relationship between Russia and China, and how "China will pounce" when Putin is replaced.

      Unfortunately, these ladies have no clue what they are talking about.
      They are either delusional or just towing the party line and blowing sunshine up your asr.
      This $61 Billion tax payer package they are celebrating will do NOTHING to help Ukraine, except line the pockets of defense contractors and politicians.
      Ukraine is running out of troops and no amount of money is going to fix that.
      Instead trying to negotiate some kind of deal last year or late 2022, when Ukraine had some leverage, the main stream. media and politicians decided to continue down this path waiving their Ukrainian flags as is they are cheering on their favorite football team, while the Ukrainian’s are sent to the meat grinder.
      Leading to over 500,000 Ukrainian casualties and imminent collapse of the Ukrainian army and any leverage Ukraine has now vanished.
      I don’t know what’s more disturbing, the main stream media’s propaganda and the people who buy their BS, or the American politicians who are fine with sacrificing Ukraine to line their pockets.

    Such a pleasure to listen to someone grounded in reality. In regards to Russia/China, they’ve had a loooong history of skirmishes on border issues. So by mentioning Manchuria, was a powerful reminder of what’s goin on with these 2. It doesn’t surprise me at all.

    Remember that Russia lost a war with Japan so anything is possible

      Russia built the Trans-Siberian Railroad/Railway to defend its "Russian Far East" (i.e. Chinese Far North.)
      That didn't work well so its Navy had to take the transoceanic voyage to reach the battlefield. 11 time zones sound great until the Navy had to spew smoke for months just to show up. Japan had the home-court advantage.
