I strongly believe that China will not agree to help or at least in any meaningful form - e.g. military equipment or intelligence.
They want to come out of this in the best situation possible and ultimately that lies with relationships with the US, EU and others.

You’re not wrong.
Goddamn this war is unjust and depressing.
He's a truly despicable man, it would be no more than he deserves IMO.

I agree. Zero chance that they pass equipment to their principal security threat. It would be like Hussein asking Khomeini for arms in 1979 and getting a "yes".
The situation with their trading partners just cements this.

I'm not going to hold my breathe on this but hopefully they can find some areas of positive progress.
Believe I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but a university acquaintance of mine, Brendan Hoffman, is a photographer in Ukraine. Many of his images have been featured in The NY Times. Was nice to see this short interview with him on the news the other day

Meet the photojournalists behind the powerful images of war in Ukraine
The indelible images of war in Ukraine have been taken by veteran war photographers like Chris McGrath, Marcus Yam and Brendan Hoffman. They speak with NBC News’ Lester Holt about the difficult experience of capturing destruction and devastation, the power behind a still image and more.

Another thing I want to make abundantly clear on here is, that it seems a lot of people are becoming misled and starting to believe Russia is "losing the war" because they are enduring a lot of deaths and military equipment losses. But, that's literally how Russia historically won all their wars. The soviets defeated Nazis by overwhelmingly them with troops and had far more deaths. Russia doesn't have much regard for human life and sees them as "cannon fodder". While it seems like Russia is losing the war because they have lost a lot of people and military equipment but that's very misleading as quantity can become a quality of its own.

Is this your new approach for the Emir account?

Seen a few pundits/ experts /those close to the situation over there saying that the two big things for Russia are:
Complete demilitarisation
Proclaim neutral status
Also Russia wants the Republics of Donbass and Crimea recognised as Russian. Zelensky doesn't seem opposed to this idea completely as it stands as he said, “we can discuss this and find a compromise on how people will live there”.
I think Russia can get these demands most likely.
Nah, I'd like to believe that all my posts are 10/10 quality.
