Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in person today for the first time since the Ukraine conflict began last February. The public side of the conversation appeared to be very warm as the two allies outlined the nature of their relationship and the plans for their discussions.
It is being reported the private side of the discussions lasted for four hours on the first day with more talks scheduled for tomorrow. “I am pleased to once again set foot on the soil of our friendly neighbor Russia,” Xi said in a statement after arriving in Moscow on Monday for the three-day state visit.
(Via Daily Mail) – Xi Jinping said he was ready to ‘stand guard over a world order based on international law’ as he met Vladimir Putin in Moscow today.
In his first state visit to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine, the Chinese leader spent more than four hours in talks with his ‘dear friend’ Putin, discussing proposals to end the war previously outlined in a 12-point peace plan.
‘We are always open to negotiations,’ the Russian leader said, welcoming China’s plan to settle his ‘acute crisis’ in Ukraine.
Xi meanwhile hailed his ‘close ties’ with Russia as Putin said the two countries had ‘plenty of common objectives and tasks’.
Presented as a ‘journey of friendship, cooperation and peace’, the summit marks the deepening of ties between China and an increasingly isolated Russia, who have relied on Beijing to soften the impact of western sanctions by buying Russian energy and commodities. (read more)
Bakhmut is the graveyard of the Ukrainian Army: Col Douglas Macgregor today!
About the best analysis of the debacle in Ukraine and the destruction of the European economy you will ever hear.
It’s Douglas Macgregor UNLEASHED and he doesn’t pull any punches. Cheap energy was the economy fuel for the United States and Germany which Biden deliberately destroyed. German industry like Mercedes Benz, BMW, Porsche, Krupps and others are reeling from the destruction of the Nordstream Pipelines. Ukraine started the war with an army of 650,000 men. They’re all DEAD or maimed. Russia has already destroyed a third reconstituted Ukrainian Army and Milley wants Ukraine to reconstitute a fourth. It’s not going to happen. Tucker Carlson pointed out that Milley looks scared because he is. Milley knows that Russia is going to win no matter what the New York Times is saying. The entire conflict was easily avoided by simply keeping Ukraine neutral like Austria!
Wise words. What a shame that those with power value money over life!
Russia is waiting NATO. They have no fear of the old toothless barking dog. Their meatgrinder works just as well on NATO solders as it does on Ukrainians.
“Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. What can you say, let them try,”
“Everyone should know that, by and large, we haven’t started anything yet in earnest,”
Vladimir Putin
Or:
The concept of a unipolar world, a world with one superpower (America) dies here and now.
Unacceptable to Russia and China.
And unacceptable to American leftists like Obama.
Dead.
Watch, its all over
Good video.
Yep, all the antiAmerican leftists.
Madeleine Albright warning the danger of US dominance.
Festung. They fought the OSS sponsored Banderites before NATO…TLDR
Here’s some Cold War era nostalgia that will take you back to the heady days when we hired communists to fight fascists and fascists to fight communists.
Kinda like the Osundairo KKK vs. WRay Eppes’ Rainbow Brigades doing that Jacob Shanley thingamajig.

Sure. Watch for the Russian parade in Kyiv tomorrow…
The Russians don’t want Kyiv. They want to destroy the Ukrainian Army which they are doing very quickly. Nobody here is rejoicing at Ukraine’s death and destruction which Biden and the Democrats have engineered. Once Russia wins the United States will quickly abandon Ukraine like we abandoned South Vietnam, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya and Afghanistan and move on to Taiwan our next victim!
Taiwan will fall without a shot fired…Xi will make an offer that Taiwan will accept, in order to avoid Ukraine’s fate.
I don’t think the Taiwanese will go quietly into the night.
Taiwan has enough to do some damage
China won’t escape unscathed.
No, they will not.
Never happen. You need to speak to some Taiwanese.
Taiwan has nukes. The rest is theater.
Ukrainians dyin for biden, dims, and RINOs.
It is well worth remembering that the present territorial boundaries of “Ukraine” – both “east” and “west” – were mostly decided in USSR committee meetings. They were never drawn as the result of any military conquest.
In the center of this area, there still burns a cauldron of internecine hatred which literally(!) dates back to “a grandson of Genghis Kahn.”
(P.S.: If you want to know more about “the back-story,” I invite you to consider scholarly web sites such as thepostil dot com, which is an on-line imprint of St. Augustine Press. You have to look for these pieces, since this is not primarily a “political” site, but the historical context is there, and the sources are impeccable.)
“They want to destroy the Ukrainian Army which they are doing very quickly.”
One year and counting. Not “very quickly” in my book. The russians and putin are incompetent boobs with an army of conscripts. They are nearly 4 times the size of the Ukraine.
And I’m opposed to US involvement in the Ukraine because our side and the Ukrainians are all corrupt.
Ha, ha, ha. “The russians and putin are incompetent boobs with an army of conscripts”.
Are you kidding???
Ummm putin is THE ONLY one using a freakin brain cell. FJB/moron milley are too busy with gender equity in the military and making sure they have the right nail color and high heals. We, the US are the laughing stock of the world!
BS
Gooood Morning Kievnam!
Why would you want a city that has American and Canadian residents ripping you off like all globalists do in their own countries?
“You will own Kyiv and be happy.” – WEF
Watch for NATO’s climate change disinformation comic books for kids…
NATO launches first ever graphic novel in the capital city of comic books
“Each chapter tackles one of the seven themes, which young people have identified as most important to protect their future: climate change; disinformation; women peace and security; the impact of conflict on infrastructure; technology and innovation; international collaboration; and cyber security.”
NATO + Graphic + Novel…

Great stuff by Macgregor. Now more importantly….WHERE is that fabulous beach??? Nice looking surf break during the beginning of video and that hard packed sand would be wonderful for bareback gallop.
It’s a beautiful beach and MacGregor is really HOT!
That’s WC NJ, of course!
High time to start converting federal reserve notes into Rubles?
A couple thoughts/comments.
If Milley is scared, it shows how weak he is, and how dangerous it is putting such a uniformed politician in the chairman’s slot.
It also makes me wonder what he is hearing when he is speeddialing his Chicom buddy.
Regardless of what he is hearing or why he is scared, he should publicly resign if he disagrees with what is happening.
…but then he didn’t after Afghanistan was abandoned.
I heard on the radio today that Russia is running out of ammo or other weapons, and are ramping up factories to try produce more. Xi’s visit is suggested as making a deal to supply them ammo/weapons.
Never in those discussions does it come up if Ukraine is running out of ammo.
That might lead to the question of whether WE are running out of ammo to supply them. Draining stockpiles like our SPR.
Russia running out of ammo? LOL That must be a joke? The fake news networks have been saying Russia has been running out of ammo since the first 2 weeks of the war.
Russia has about 100 weapon manufacturing plants tucked safely away in the Ural mountains. They have not forgotten the lessons learned in WW2. Russia is fully prepared for the long haul. Even if NATO entered the picture they can easily spread the war into Europe. But I am sure Russia will gladly accept more help from China. Never hurts to have back up.
I think you must have heard wrong. It is NATO that is running out of ammo and arms. NATO does not have the manufacturing capacity to replace it as needed. Not even close.
Ukraine has severely depleted all of NATO’s stockpiles. The US is even raiding stockpiles in Israel, South Korea, and Japan. To send to Ukraine.
I don’t disagree. Just commenting on the latest BS being pushed by the media.
I wonder how many people the western left is willing to kill?
It’s never been about Ukraine. It’s about Russia leading the world off of US Reserve currency and that impact on Western economies.
Yes, Russia wanted to extend its physical border due to the ever encroaching NATO.
Because of the then coming/now present economic war.
One month after Russia invaded Ukraine, Federal Reserve started hiking rates at an unprecedented rate. This was not for the economy, it was to save the currency. That was a little over a year ago. We have seen Pensions and Banks fail or come close due to Feds actions.
Now Xi is meeting Putin in Moscow and they are planning their next moves to strengthen non-US dollar trade around the world. There is a line of countries willing to join this effort. They are in a position to choose who can/will/should join their BRICS+.
Don’t forget, 1.5 billion people have sanctioned Russia, 4.5 billion have not.
So yes the proxy war in Ukraine is terrible. But not about Ukraine while Western Economies are blowing up without a gun shot outside of Ukraine.
There is no way MacGregor misunderstands the Russia/East Europe situation that badly. Just sayin’…
The following vidéo is crucial to our cause as Patriots. It is a message to the Western world from Cardinal Vigano. Listen and heed.
This video with Cardinal Vigano is too important not to watch!
https://gatesofvienna.net/2023/03/archbishop-vigano-what-we-need-is-an-anti-globalist-alliance/
Vigano is a man striving to put the pieces of the puzzle together…he wrote an open letter to President Trump some time back that was spot on.
Thank you for the link, the Archbishop remains steadfast in his devotion to the maintenance of the Body and Church of Christ here on Earth, and in Heaven. My God bless him, and sanctify us all.
He is a Catholic leader who I respect in spite of a childhood and adolescence that i will politely state, “turned me off to the Catholic Church”.
Correct.
I have zero respect for catholics. They’re brainwashed idiots by and large .
“Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore”.

KGB meets CCP. A match made in heaven for Commies all over the world!
Guess you forgot #41 President HW Bush was also the 11th—Director of CIA . Which is no different than the KGB.
😃
I look forward to Bidinh’s punishing sanctions against the ChiComs now … hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha ha ha hahaaaaahaha ha ha. Bidinh is an IDIOT … and his puppeteers even more malignant.
Just leave Taiwan alone!
Taiwan is being set up as another Ukraine.
Even our own State Department recognizes Taiwan as being part of China. One China policy.
UN resolution 2758 recognized Taiwan as a Province of China.
Taiwan is a Province of China.
Most people just mindlessly blather the talking points about Taiwan…and listen to Fox News pundits and MSM–and they can’t even find Taiwan on a map!!!
You are right…leave Taiwan alone. Our Government needs to stop starting trouble.
The Taiwanese people disagree with you. Sorry. Fox is beside the point. Taiwanese live their lives with a FREEDOM utterly unknown by the serfs of mainland China. They won’t give that up easily … Bidinh or no Bidinh
Most people don’t know about the head hunters.
They go way back. Their combat tactics were tough.

The USA is absent from the world stage for all practicality.
Joe Biden can’t stay awake for four hours let alone have a intelligent conversation with a world leader.
He couldn’t have a intelligent meaningful conversation thirty years ago and that vas before his brains were fried.
Take another shower with your daughter you pervert.
“Respect”
How many times has President Trump noted that there is non for the USA?
That is the leftist goal.
I deeply appreciated MacGregor’s insight that the world we live in is the world made by Rockefeller and Standard Oil.
I fear that amidst the endless nonsense of the Left, they have understood the implications of cheap energy and global warming is their profound exercise to end the modern world and bring it crashing down. No Marxist violent revolution required.
At this point, all leftists are anarchists and nihilists. Watch the movie Children of Men, with Clive Owen and Michael Caine. The Left knows what they are doing.
The Left intends to make a new world, upon the rubble. They mean it.
I’d assume XI did not need to exit the plane from the back door like XI did to the magic ……….
I still trust the Russians and the Chi Coms more than I trust any dems. At least we know what their agenda is and they are not pro WOKE. They just want to rule the world. I miss the Cold War era. Simpler and more sane times.
The CCP is no one’s friend. I hope they collapse.
I did not say that I liked them, nor that they were the good guys. But they are more transparent about their desire for power and control of everything. I wish them ill as well.
Yes, no ambiguity there. IMO, BRICS is getting more formidable every day while the enemies inside our gate are trumping up charges on Presidents.
Totally AGREE!
Interesting, Z said a month ago if China and Russia joined over Ukraine it would start WW3…
Got news for ya. WW3 started in 2014 with the US sponsored the coup in Ukraine that threw Yanukovych out of power.
It is only now getting “Interesting”
Strange times we live in.
Yep, few of us envisioned that biological warfare would play out as the Covid operation did either. Brave new world. War.
Wonder if Biden sent his congratulations. You no got to kiss the bosses azz.
Take a look at those two pictures. Reminds me of the spy vs spy cartoons in Mad magazine.
Has our media reported on Moscow hosting meetings with 30 African countries leaders/representatives today?
At the same time as Xi visit.
Also, reports of Chinese being killed in Central African Republic. Is Wagner still active there? They were running merc operations for the Russians in the region.
I saw the reports of the Chinese being killed. I have not done any research regarding the circumstances,etc.
I do know that Wagner is still active in some parts of Africa but not sure exactly where.
I have very little knowledge of the situation….
Let’s start a pool on how soon the two commies are at war again.
Red China has a much improved military for when they grab for Russia’s resources across Siberia.
XI is going to devour Russia.
I think Russia having the most modern, advanced, and powerful Nuke stockpile in the world would make very poor table fare.
Their highly advanced anti missile systems would give panful indigestion.
Xi is a smart enough leader to know that peaceful trade back and forth on the Belt Road. Is much more beneficial for both countries, and more profitable than nuclear war. Pretty hard to grow food in a radioactive wasteland.
I really wish the United States would wake up and realize that…. Oh, I forgot we are woke. I guess that must be the problem.
Many have tried over the centuries, to be sure. Might as well see China get a bite of the apple in our lifetime. I personally don’t think it will happen but having roots in pre-Communist Russia I know who I’ll be rooting for if it does.
Indonesia…Local Bank Better.
“Be very careful. We must remember the sanctions imposed by the US on Russia. Visa and Mastercard could be a problem…everyone should be able to use [local issued bank cards]…we can be independent…If we use our own platforms, and everybody is using them, from ministries and local administrations to municipal governments, then we can be more secure…”
–President Joko Widodo, National Business Summit, March 17, 2023, Indonesia

Our government leaders and their media partners have been caught in yet another lie about the Ukrainian conflict. We can only hope that Putin and Xi, give NATO and our failed government a chance to delink from their installed puppet Zelinski and open the door to a peaceful settlement. No doubt a Ukrainian divide is in order and regime change ousting Z. In my mind it should also also include regime change in the US and ending NATO. But both Russia and China like these blundering idiots affixed to a failing globalist agenda and self destroying themselves and the nations they represent both economically and militarily.
Who knew Xi was so tall … or Putin was so short
Europe and the USA thanks to George Soros are losing their identity and poor leadership and the cult of man caused global warming is destroying our economies.
Russia and China have the worlds largest industrial base, the largest oil reserves and rare earth minerals, the largest gold and diamond supplies and China has the world’s largest and most powerful military.
God himself could not come in and correct the damage done the USA post Ronald Reagan.
Wow.
