Absolutely not. China is openly supporting Putin and that is not good for Ukraine. I would think YOU would be thrilled that Putin is continuing to get China's help. Afterall, that bad Ukraine needs to cease to exist, right?
But, as this pertains to Trump, his mouth continues to write checks no one can cash.
You are right. You can only cash about 95% of his checks.
Well...there ya go.
Hah! while chasing a Filipino fishing boat two Chicom vessels collided with each other. A Chink navy frigate took the bow off a Chink coast guard cutter, both ships were seriously damaged, the cutter getting the worst of it. At last report both ships are still afloat.
It was actually a Chicom destroyer that struck the cutter. The cutter could not be saved, is a total loss.
China is buying Russian LNG again. Citing no fear of a US economic retaliation China allowed a Russian LNG tanker to dock and will start buying all the LNG Putin can ship to them. Beijing suspended the purchase of Russian LNG when the Biden administration balked and threatened sanctions. Now, under Trump, the Chicoms are bold again citing Trump's reluctance, and the friendliness of Trump to his good pal Putin.
Wow! Sleepy Joe is more respected/feared than Trump!

Perhaps China is our ally in the same way India is. I seem to remember you insinuating we should bend the knee and grovel before India even though they buy more Russian fossil fuels than China does.
Wow! I sometimes wonder if I am just wasting my time trying to provide information and a little education on this forum. Posts like this makes me question the IQ level of some folks. Maybe you do know better and are just posting stupid stuff in an attempt to stir the pot. If it's the former, I can't help you, if it's the latter, stop it. I don't like playing games with important issues.
For others who might be reading this, but don't post, India is a key to world stability. Not THE key as there are a lot of moving parts in geopolitics, but certainly a key, and right now the single most important one. And, the easiest path for the US (and our remaining allies...ahem.) to secure the dominant position in world power. Simply put, securing India as our staunch ally guarantees our hold on being THE superpower. In his first term Trump made it a top priority to win the friendship/alliance with India. Together with India, and then Japan and Australia, Trump formed the first Quad, an agreement of mutual support aimed at containing Chicom expansionism. Trump then went on to other matters and having to deal with all that lawfare and failed to deliver on some promises made. This created some tension with India, that could have been rectified had the Biden administration not totally reneged on the agreements.
India has the largest population, the 3rd largest economy and the 3rd most powerful military. And geographically they sit in an extremely critical spot on the globe for influencing (i.e. controlling) world commerce and being in the right place to operate from militarily. One (with an ounce of brain matter) can readily see how great it would be to have India as a strong ally. No, we don't have to grovel or bend the knee to India or anyone. That's actually a dumb thing to suggest. All we have to do is what Trump did do in his first term...make an agreement with India and this time stick to it.
