Somewhere in the depths of Foggy Bottom, an analyst got his wings.
There is nothing more brutally sabotaging to an enemy than forcing them into an alliance with as bunch of morons.
one hand is shaking, the other is holding a knife. they'd happily stab each other in the back if it got them what they wanted in the short term. I don't see this "friendship" lasting long. they're waay too narcissistic to work well together.
My comments here to keep the post clean:
I find that event kind of funny, as their comments and talks are very out of touch.
I think they are starting to believe their own propaganda.
What part would you say is out of touch? The quotes in the article provided seem to be standard political messaging you expect from any politician from what I can tell.
Xi told Putin adding that ties between the countries have ...
made important contributions to upholding international equity and justice.
I don't know how he had said that without believing 100% his own propaganda.
I wouldn't say the first is out of touch. This alliance between them definitely has the potential to be very beneficial. Especially for Russia who has a huge amount of sanctions imposed on it currently. And it's clear China is trying to diversify it's economy and move away from being so dependent on the American dollar.
Second one is definitely out of touch. But not unexpected personally. These guys just ooze propaganda.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
