The Hill reporting that Xi has offered protection to K-stan if Putin tries to invade. K-stan has always been part of Putin's plan to put his empire together but then K-stan refused to send troops to Ukraine despite all the pressure to do so, and K-stan wants to sellenergy to Europe even though Putin blocked it. Putin figured that he had K-stan in the bag because he sent Russian troops over to prop up the government when things got rocky and so he expected a little return favor. Not to be. Then he figured he would finish up his 3 day war and go over and invade them. Also not to be. Xi was hoping that Russia would be able to pull off their little stunt and then China and Russia would be buddy buddy and Xi would use Vlad's influence over the central Asian countries as a gateway for China doing business there. Now Xi is just using Putin's weakend status to deal direct with those countries and win the battle for central asia with or without Putin. And I still don't see those Belarus troops crossing border. I see them marching all along the border and stomping their feet extra hard while Lukashenko says scary things, but where's the beef. There ain't gonna be any beef. Bunch of blowhards. You screwed this one up Vlad. BIGTIME. "The day before the two met, Xi warned Putin against meddling in Kazakhstan. This was significant because the Kazakhs have been in Putin’s crosshairs since their leader openly criticized the war in Ukraine, then announced that Kazakh oil exports would be diverted to help Europe. Russians blocked the exports, then some hinted it may be invaded too. Xi pledged to protect the country in a private meeting with leaders that was leaked. “We [China] will resolutely support Kazakhstan in the defense of its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he said. This was clearly a pre-emptive rebuke aimed at Putin’s imperialism designed to distance China from Russia as its invasion of Ukraine falters." https://thehill.com/opinion/international/3644855-xi-jinpings-coming-checkmate-of-putin/
Looks to me like Kyrgyzstan is on track to become the next Karzakhstan. Probably it will have a Trump Tower within the next two years unless Trump is still trying to do a deal with Greenland. Everyone getting so smart these days.
Work for Russia - die for Russia motherfucks. Several Pro-Russian Officials Killed In Occupied Ukraine https://www.barrons.com/news/blast-...lugansk-pro-moscow-leader-01663326606?tesla=y
Russian butcher going home the hard way. He won't be striking any apartment complexes or daycare sites tomorrow. https://ukranews.com/en/news/882547-afu-shoot-down-enemy-su-25-attack-aircraft-in-kherson-region Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners on the morning of September 16 shot down another Russian Su-25 attack aircraft in Kherson region. This was reported by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "On September 16, at about 8.30 a.m., in the sky of Kherson region, a unit of the Odesa anti-aircraft missile brigade of the South Air Command destroyed another Russian Su-25 attack aircraft," the report said.
Let's check in for an update on how the Wagnerfucks are working out. OR NOT WORKING OUT. Most of them are probably gaming the Ruskies anyway. They are facing 20 years in Russian prison for some bullshit crime so they volunteer to go to Ukraine. Then desert or surrender the first chance they get. Sure they were told that they would be shot if they deserted or surrendered but then they get there and find that there are no officers and things are so disorganized that there are lots of chances to make a run for it - and that they have a 50% chance of being shot by a wagnerfuck but a 100% chance of being killed by the Ukrainians if they don't surrender. Do the math, they are. The other not-so-minor-detail to keep in mind is that once they get there, those prisoners are armed. If three or four of them want to make a run for it, in theory the wagnerfuck commanders are going to shoot them. In practice- as the Indians say- some days you eat the bear- and on other days the bear eats you. They get to fire back.

Interesting .....Biden also has been hiding from the press for 200 days CBS Mornings previewed the network’s exclusive "60 Minutes" interview with President Joe Biden, which happens to be the first interview that Biden has had with an American TV journalist in over 200 days.
Right, so Biden is supporting your country with much needed firepower against Russia and you call him an idiot?
