Okay I count five countries in the title. This is the most world news thing I've seen all week.
- There are four countries!
  
  If you count the website name as part of it then it’s 5
  
  Can end a 🇨🇦
Definitely no.
- Definitely yes. Putin belongs to Xi.
  If Xi wanted the war over, Putin would roll over immediately. There is no world where lowly Putin gets to say 'No' to Xi.
  
  China has next to no dependencies on Russia but Russia would collapse within 2 years of China just said no.
  Both Xi and Putin knew this when they had their little negotiation last year.
  Oh my.... Imagine how far Putin had to lean forward for Xi to get China to deliver the essentials for Putin's war machine.
- Maybe, but it sure wouldn't hurt to try.
The US chose to saber-rattle with China before the war in Ukraine, which destroyed any possibility of this that might have existed. China was never going to agree to diplomatically isolating Russia when it would so obviously be next.
- This dude lives in a delusional dream state
  
  Not a dude, and the US got along much better with China, until around 2019 when the wars in the Middle East were winding down and the US needed a new justification for defense contracts, and when it needed to shift blame for botching COVID. That's when all of a sudden everyone started hating China for no other reason than the news said to.
- Great theory you have there.
  So when USA would be doing whatever you think they would do to China, how do you think that would affect the economy of USA and the rest of the West when all essential manufacturing stops to a grinding halt worldwide?
  Covid showed the world what happens if China is unable to keep the factories up and running 100%... And you seem to have missed it all because you have been asleep since 2018 and just woke up?
China can make one phone call and collapse the price of oil and gas?
