I have a master's degree in Asian Studies/Chinese. I learned Mandarin Chinese, lived with Chinese people, was certified by the U.S. Army as a Foreign Area Officer (FAO) for China, served as a military attaché, and traveled to China several times. In other words, I know a thing or two about China and the Chinese.

At the moment, China may be supporting Russia in its war on Ukraine, but make no mistake about Beijing's long-term intentions: If Russia collapses and dissolves (which is not impossible to imagine), the Chinese will very quickly seek to re-acquire the territories the Qing dynasty was forced to surrender to Tsarist Russia. You can absolutely count on that happening.

Back in the 1950s and 1960s, in the days of Stalin, Krushchev, and Mao Zedong, the Soviet Union was far more powerful than agrarian China. Back then, Soviets were clearly the "outer spoon" in that "bromance."

But today? The tables have turned; China is an economic and industrial powerhouse, and it is Russia that has become backward and weakened. Every Chinese school child is taught about the "Century of Humiliation" and the period of "Unequal Treaties."

Unlike Americans and many Westerners, most of whom think about the future in terms of fiscal quarters, the Chinese think in terms of years and decades.

Believe me when I tell you: The Russians KNOW all this. And it scares the 💩 out of them.

This clip with millions of hits in China calls for China to take over Siberia, Lake Baikal, Sakhalin and other parts of Russia after it loses in Ukraine then falls apart.

@NancyMace Agreed 👍

This is not World War II footage.

This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.

A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.

There is no excuse for this. None.

[Alex Raufoglu @ralexdc]

NEW! Rubio tells Senators that Russia will NOT achieve its objectives in Ukraine, and “they may not even be able to militarily EVER achieve the objectives they're demanding now in negotiations”

Says “not only are the Ukrainians bravely fighting, they're effectively fighting”

The Ukrainian drones that struck St Petersburg this morning flew north through Russian airspace for over 5 hours without being shot down, I repeat 5 hours.

Rep. Bacon is a Republican Congressman and a voice of reason on foreign policy matters.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Congress must get on the right side of history & support a democracy, free market nation who wants to ally w/ us, and to oppose a thug who is invading its neighbor. We’ve waited long enough to help Ukraine & put sanctions on Russia. This is our Churchill vs Chamberlain moment.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

BREAKING:

Ukrainian long-range drones have hit several Russian warships at a drydock at the naval base in Kronstadt (St. Petersburg).

One of the vessels hit is the corvette Boikiy.
After destroying the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Ukraine is now destroying the Baltic Sea Fleet.

[Johnny FD @JohnnyFDK]

Right now in Moscow there are American bloggers who went on an all expenses paid trip to go spread Russian Propaganda.

Meanwhile, I came to Kyiv on my own dime to show the world the truth about the war.

No one is paying me to be here, unlike Candace Owens who is a paid Russian shill.

Russians have erased entire Ukrainian cities to the ground. The only thing russia brings is death and destruction, which they call “liberation”.

We must help Ukraine survive this genocide and push this evil back into Mordor. Stand with Ukraine!

[Dr. Fred Hoffman, Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) @InfoAgeStrategy]

@NAFOteacher Yes

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

Nothing the Iranian regime has offered the US comes close to achieving our objectives.

The mullahs are betting that they can make us blink. We cannot oblige them.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

The Pentagon’s civilian leadership communicates weakness to Russia & to our Allies on reducing U.S. presence in Eastern Europe. Our Allies were relieved when Trump overruled Hegseth on removing troops in Poland. But the Pentagon has not published a plan.

Congress can no longer wait on the Administration to act. That’s why we will vote this week on military aid to Ukraine & tough sanctions on Russia. America must have moral clarity in regard to Putin’s invasion and murdering civilians. 70% of Americans want a stronger response.

[Kyrylo Shevchenko @KShevchenkoReal]

⚡⚡⚡BREAKING: Ireland’s dirty secret exposed: Data reveals Ireland’s Aughinish Alumina factory — owned by Russian giant Rusal — shipped a staggering 83% of its exports (200,619 tons) to Russia in Q1 2026 alone. While PM Micheál Martin claims sanctioning it would “hurt the EU more than Russia,” the truth is this Irish plant is fueling Putin’s war machine: alumina → Russian aluminum → weapons killing Ukrainians. Official statistics crush the factory’s own lies (they claimed only 45% to Russia). As Ireland prepares to lead the EU Council, will Dublin keep blocking sanctions on its Russian-owned cash cow? Share if you want real sanctions.

Why don’t we blow them up?

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

President Trump has always been clear that America needs to win again - and that's exactly what we must do in Iran.

We cannot allow our hard-won gains to be squandered - let's finish the job.

[Dr. Fred Hoffman, Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) @InfoAgeStrategy]

Kudos to France for taking on Russia's dark fleet.

The rest of Europe now needs to step up and do the same.

Russia depends on illicit oil deliveries of petroleum products to pay for its war in Ukraine. Cut off that flow of revenue, and that war will end much sooner.

It's that simple.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

La Marine nationale a arraisonné hier matin un nouveau pétrolier sous sanctions internationales en provenance de Russie : le Tagor. Notre détermination est constante et totale.

Cette intervention a été effectuée en Atlantique, en haute mer, avec le soutien de plusieurs partenaires dont le Royaume-Uni, dans le strict respect du droit de la mer.

Il est inacceptable que des bateaux contournent les sanctions internationales, violent le droit de la mer et financent la guerre que mène la Russie contre l’Ukraine depuis plus de 4 ans.

Ces navires, qui ne respectent pas les règles les plus élémentaires de navigation maritime, constituent également une menace pour l’environnement et pour la sécurité de tous.

[Kira Rudik @kiraincongress]

Ukraine is subject to dozens of international monitoring mechanisms that verify how weapons are used and confirm the facts on the ground.

russia, meanwhile, feeds propaganda to its own population and tries to export those same lies abroad.

We have nothing to hide and are ready to answer every false accusation with facts.

Lo vendan como lo vendan y lo adornen como lo adornen, el único terrorismo religioso que hay en el mundo es el islámico. Nadie mata en nombre de Jesús, ni de Buda, ni de Krhisna, ni de Zoroastro. Ni en nombre de la Pachamama. Sí apuñalan, atropellan y se inmolan en nombre de Alá.
