Putin faces threat from the East if he fails in Ukraine | Diane Francis

“If Russia loses the war, then whoever replaces Putin is not going to be able to hold onto 11 timezones of nation. Manchuria was only stolen from China 200 years ago. They want Manchuria back and they’re going to get it.”
Diane Francis discusses the fragile relationship between Russia and China, and how "China will pounce" when Putin is replaced.

    1975 the US conducted operation baby lift out of Saigon where 3.000 babies were airlifted to the US. These babies didn't even come with names. So these now adults have no idear who their parents are, who there families are. On the very first flight the rear door of a C-130 failed and 80 babie in cardbourd boxes flew up to heaven. Those babies are buried namless in a communal grave in Saigon. Victims of America's last bombing run...?

    Unfortunately, these ladies have no clue what they are talking about. They are either delusional or just towing the party line and blowing sunshine up your asr. This $61 Billion tax payer package they are celebrating will do NOTHING to help Ukraine, except line the pockets of defense contractors and politicians. Ukraine is running out of troops and no amount of money is going to fix that. Instead trying to negotiate some kind of deal last year or late 2022, when Ukraine had some leverage, the main stream. media and politicians decided to continue down this path waiving their Ukrainian flags as is they are cheering on their favorite football team, while the Ukrainian’s are sent to the meat grinder. Leading to over 500,000 Ukrainian casualties and imminent collapse of the Ukrainian army and any leverage Ukraine has now vanished. I don’t know what’s more disturbing, the main stream media’s propaganda and the people who buy their BS, or the American politicians who are fine with sacrificing Ukraine to line their pockets.

    not really. I didn't know the LePen stuff so i googled it, and what did i find? She got a loan from a Russian Bank before the invasion and has recently paid it back, is that the same as Putin giving her money?. I am a Canadian. If i get a loan from an American bank does that make me a Biden supporter? also she has retracted her support of Putin since the invasion happened, I think I have said a couple of nice things about Putin during the Beslan Massacre, does that make me a Putin supporter in 2024? if she lied or misled about that stuff, what else is she lying/misleading about?

    China will take MORE than Manchuria... they will take enough to ensure their claim to arctic resources. Besides, if Russia is having trouble with security in the west and it affects residents east of the Urals, i would think that under the auspices of the Shanghai COOP agreements, Russia would FULLY UNDERSTAND that China has to "protect the Chinese speaking citizens and residents in these areas that were Chinese in the past.
