For every soldier NATO moves into the area, Putin will move ten. For every anti tank missile, thereās an ICBM ready to defend against this unprecedented act of Western aggression.

If Iām going with august anglo institution writing right wing business stuff Iāll pick the Financial Times every time.Economist isnāt quite The Spectator but it is sometimes often as bad.

More on how Putinās strategic genius has put Russia in Chinaās pocket.
In the statement, China offers no direct support of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Its diplomats are perhaps too wise for any such open bellicosity. But if Russia does attack Ukraine again, the main winner will be China. Putin can enjoy the adrenaline boost of doing something dramatic, but the net result will be pinning his country to Beijing for a generation. It does say a lot about the relationship between the two countries that, whatever Russia may now do, it will have done so after Putin flew to Beijing to consult with Xi.
As a strategy for Russia as a country, riding Chinese coattails is senseless. But as a tactic for an oligarchic regime to stay in power, it makes perfect sense. Putin may be inviting China to dominate Russia, but he knows that China will do so tactfully. Xi will never criticize his methods of rule. In comically sinister passages, Beijing and Moscow congratulate each other on being the real democracies that really understand human rights. What is meant is that dictators have the human right to refer to their countries as democracies.
