For the first time, Xi is missing a China-backed BRICS summit. Why?

  • Is it the case that the "they" that want a more moderate leader are consistent with the "they" that actually get to make the call?

    • China's foreign minister tells EU that Beijing cannot afford Russia to lose in Ukraine, media reports

  • I suspect the concern is that no one, including China itself knows how strong they would be in a military conflict, since they haven't been in an at scale conflict in living memory, using economic power instead to great effect.

    If they are really wanting to violently assert their view on Taiwan, they want global attention divided.

    • China's foreign minister tells EU that Beijing cannot afford Russia to lose in Ukraine, media reports

  • So your take is that because the US has misbehaved, then Russia should misbehave harder? Not that the nations should behave better in general....

    • Son of Norway’s crown princess suspected of 23 offences including rape, police say

  • Having a head of state immune from criminal prosecution seems to be a thing Americans wouldn't abide... right?

    • 'Unprecedented Mass Deployment' of Warplanes Across Atlantic Fuels Fears of US War on Iran | Common Dreams

  • I don't personally know, but as far as I could tell, people in the USA were largely ok with the Vietnam war, until they started to draft people to send to Vietnam who never wanted to be in a military.

    • Russia offers political asylum to Elon Musk over Trump feud

  • That's like 2 or 3 fentanyl pills, if I understand Bondi right...
