“We are recording an actual increase in the de-sovereignization of part of Russian territory in favor of China. This primarily concerns the use of resource-rich lands and the sale of scarce resources to China,” Ukraine’s President is cited after a report by the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Oleh Ivashchenko.
“We are also recording that China is taking steps to intensify cooperation with Russia, particularly in the field of the defense industry. Intelligence services of our partners have similar information.”

In a related report, U.S. outlet Newsweek cites Patrick Cronin, the Asia-Pacific security chair at the Hudson Institute: “Xi Jinping views Russia as an indispensable strategic partner in constructing a post-U.S.–led world order.
“Reconciling these competing impulses points toward a strategy of slow, steady accretions of effective sovereignty, punctuated by performative shows of solidarity, from parades to joint military drills, that mask an emerging asymmetry," Cronin adds.
Cronin said however that China “clearly appears poised to expand its influence across its shared borderlands through a mix of brazen cyber intrusions and opportunistic moves to anchor itself inside Russia’s increasingly enfeebled economy.”

Putin turning Russia in to China’s vassal-state, economically, while enforcing unpopular-war, while enforcing Russia’s economic grinding-to-hell …
… has consequences??
No, really??
I’ve stated for the last few years, that Russia is going to be China’s mere-vassal-state.
I’m adding, here, that WHEN Trump takes Greenland, as a means of militarily-enforcing his annexation of Canada ( Alaska/navy+airforce/mainland/navy+airforce/Greenland, sealing us off from ALL trade, to butcher us like Russia butchered Mariupol ),
THEN Putin, with BRICS’/China’s backing, will be rampaging Europe, for Putin’s ego/psychopathy & for China’s strategic gain, since once Trump & Putin, & their-legacy-regimes, implode, then China’s built-up empire ( Modi’s India bet-the-farm on Russia helping India fight China, which … is based in fantasy, not geopolitical-facts, so India has no stron ally within BRICS, & their tiny investment in military won’t match China’s: India will fall, when Trump’s rampaging Canada, the non-Republicans within the US in Civil War Part2, AND Central & South America, including Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Cuba, etc, in his greed to be the West’s “KING” ) … China’s built-up empire will then be able to begin butchering-down the remnants of NATO…
& that war-of-attrition will simply keep going on, & on, & on, for decades, until the world-population has been reduced by a few billion.
People back what they’re born-into, right?
Religions use that, to enforce their-population’s ideology/identity…
Political-ideologies use it, cultures use it…
Hofstede’s whole Cultural-Dimensions-Theory is rooted in it!
People born into short-term cultures ( macho tropical cultures, e.g. ) are more embodying of short-term values, views, & reacting-instincts, while people born into long-term cultures ( South Korea ) are more embodying of long-term values, views, & reacting-instincts.
Same is true for external-“success” orientation vs inner-“nurturing” orientation.
Same is true for uncertainty-denial vs uncertainty-comfort.
Nationalisms all use this same imprint/programming mechanism ( lower-forebrain, Kahneman & Tversky “System 1”, etc ), to prevent either objectivity or correct-reasoning from interfereing with them…
But then what happens when neither objectivity nor correct-reasoning is tolerated to have any place in any education, as Leninism & Fox Network & Repubican “education” all enforce??
Well, then you have multi-generational incapability of being anything whatsoever other-than ideology and ideological-reacting.
& what happens when the vast majority of the world’s population is born into that condition?
Global Deathmatch.
Some call it “The Great Filter”, but it’s the same thing.
Some call it “The Great Purification”, but it’s the same thing.
Some call it “The Valley of Death”/“Armageddon”, but it’s the same thing.
Some call it “The Tribulation”, but it’s the same thing.
ALL worlds that are as chimp-minded as we are, who gain industry & nukes, without our unconscious-minds growing-up, get the same “species-puberty” enforcement-process.
There’s nothing “religious” or “divine” about species-ignorance trying to beat & break universe/G-D into OBEYING its ego-ignorance.
Not on this world, not on any other, not anywhere.
It’s simply an ( ignorance ) addict breaking their-own life to “prove” that their addiction is the “only LORD”, same as any street-junkie obliterating their only life is doing, but humankind’s doing it at whole-planet scale…
The only method which can produce species-survival, is the Venn-diagram intersection of
- spiritual-competence, beyond politics, narcissisms, ideologies, or any other “religious” unconscious-machiavellianisms
- objectivity, seeing us the way omniscience sees us, without any “sugar-coating” of tribal-politics, &
- correct-reasoning, cutting-through our world’s entrenched ignorances, with its illuminating insights…
No other method can produce survival of the species-“puberty” process on humankind, this century!
There are 3 categories of game:
- Positive-Sum game: Win-Win Alliance
- Zero-Sum game: Competitive-Narcissism
- Negative-Sum game: Competitive-Nihilism/Psychopathy.
That mass-shooters, Netanyahu, Putin, Trump, & Millei are playing Negative-Sum games, at their own scales, has consequences:
All who pretend that zero-sum-game is the game that they are playing, are no-more than appeasing & denying, to protect their assumptions’ feelings.
Putin’s ignoring/denying is fundamental to the game he’s playing, & there won’t be any meaningful “Russia” left, in 4 more decades, thanks to his regime.
Trump is doing the same with the USA, same timescale.
Netanyahu’s “Israel” isn’t going to exist in the 2030’s, by the looks of it: retaliation is inevitable, & their own scripture ( Jeremiah & Isaiah, at-least ) explicitly identifies that every time “Israel” turns against G-D, then G-D’s wrath expresses through others, against it, annihilating its regime. Every time: it’s G-D’s LAW.
So, the Zionists rejection of Jeremiah & Isaiah … is “Judaism”, of some kind, then?
shruggeth
Let their reaping be what their sowing has been, & let their G-D’s wrath … have their regime.
I’d rather my relationship with OriginOfAllLife be distinctly different from what the negative-sum-game rulers are enforcing.
But please see the scale of it all!
See that the treachery-against-Russia that Putin’s psychopathic regime embodies, butchers Russia’s future.
( the White-Blue-White Russians are every bit as Russian, to me, as Putin’s White-Blue-Red Russians are, competing against each-other.
Same as the Trumpites compete against the sane, in the US.
Same as the humanist Jews oppose the Zionists,
& the humanist Muslims oppose the Islamists,
& the good Catholics oppose their church’s protecting-of-child-molestation ( that pope who had the dark bags under his eyes, when he’d been the Catholic church’s enforcer, had written, in latin, an order that anybody who cooperated-with-police against Catholic-officials bestiality or molesting, would be excommunicated. My mom took that, when an English lawyer translated it for the world, into English, to her church, & got locked-out from that basilica’s providing-music-for-mass, permanently. She moved to another church, since she’d been effectively excommunicated for her holding-to-accountability… the church official who protected the church’s satanic established-behavior? No accountability for him, among worldly-law… )
It’s all the same, everywhere:
We have to let-go of worldly-machiavellianisms & worldly-narcissisms, & simply let LivingSpirit do the strategy for us, while we work-on what we can earn.
“Think Globally, but Act Locally”, taken to its logical-conclusion…
NONE of the “country” entities which exist NOW, will exist +1 century in our future.
So, why concentrate on what we can’t own, +1-century nationalism, when we can own our own viability?
We can own our own uprighting, our own kaizen, our own improving, right?
THIS https://theworldwatch.com/ is what the on-the-ground world really is like, re ideological-programmed REACTING, displacing objectivity, displacing correct-reasoning, displacing reasoned-evolution, from humankind.
It is ideological-programming that is the true enemy of our viability!
See how ideology squanders all LivingPotential, all LivingOpportunity, for its rule…
The ONLY way that Palestine could have been saved, was if the UN had taken-over ALL public-service in the territory, disallowing ANY ideology’s rule, disallowing Hamas AND Zionism from interfering, & then, after about 3 generations of that, the ideologues would have been retired-out-from authority-roles, and THEN peace would have become possible…
Obviously, neither Hamas nor Zionism would tolerate such result, so they both enforced that the current “apocalypse” get manufactured, right?
Putin’s enforcing that the “apocalypse” of Russia be guaranteed.
Trump’s enforcing that the “apocalypse” of the US of A be guaranteed.
& we’re all unconsciously contributing to this, through our holding-onto ideologies, instead of breaking the mind-rabies-of-ideology, ITSELF, from our world…
IT is our enemy…
IT always produces opposite-to-good results, in the long-term…
Inevitably…
Every culture, very region, every time, consistently…
Ideology always insists that it isn’t ideology that is the problem, it is that ideology that is the problem, so if we just become infected with opposite ideology, & be ideology’s pathogens against that ideology, then we’ll “win”…
We’ve been scammed by our unconscious-mind’s mechanisms/games, & really ought grow-up about it, now, you know?

In December 2024, a video was circulating on Chinese social media that shows how China should conquer parts of Siberia up to lake Baikal.
Is that a way of saying “Separatist feelings are on the rise in Russia”? Or are they talking about regicide in a country without a reg?
I guess this is just saying that China is occupying parts of Russia.
Sino-Soviet split is over, bro. You aren’t going to wish it back by shitposting.
