Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russia is importing petrol, calling it the rightful result of the work of the Security Service, the Armed Forces, intelligence and Ukrainian weapons manufacturers.
Quote: "Today, there were also reports on our entirely justified strikes against Russian targets – against their logistics and fuel infrastructure. I am grateful to our warriors for their precision. Russia chooses war, Russia destroys our people’s lives, and must be held accountable – our long-range capabilities will increase.
China has been watching go try to get an impression of the west’s reaction to the invasion. They want to be able to predict what will happen when they go into Taiwan.
Roll over, or full blown shooting war with the USA?
Why would China need Russia to win in Ukraine to gauge the West’s reaction? They’ve already seen the reaction to an invasion.
China has repeatedly shown that they have a much better tool against Taiwan than an invasion. Every time they want to rattle their sabre at Taiwan they blockade the entire island. They’ve done it many times and nobody does anything about it. Nobody has any realistic proposals on what they would do about it. Taiwan is a very densely populated island. It will run out of just about everything very quickly.
Delusional, China will simply wait out the impending collapse of the US and the ensuing end of our support for the current Taiwanese regime, after which peaceful reunification will be an inevitability. The US desperately wants China to do something stupid, as a justification for our aggressive foreign policy & to generate international support/repair our damaged reputation, which is exactly why they won’t.
It’s comical that so many people believe that the CCP is led by wise visionaries rather than power-mad, corrupt gangsters who cling to power by any means available to them, and are constantly shit-scared that their own people will someday see how much they’ve been conned and rise up against them.
Doesn’t take a visionary to outwit the US lol, all they have to do is stay the course they’ve been following for decades. This is pure projection.
