what a disappointment putin and his military turned out to be to China .
russia was happy to delay his invasion 'til the end of the winter olympics so as not to distract from China's triumph .....back tthen it "freinds without limmits"....almost certainly Xi would've anticipated a quick victory ....such a pwerful taking on a much smaller much less well equipped Ukraine
a fait accompli that the west could do nothing about .....NOW , NATO and the west is re-awakened and their are ramifications for China
.....and now , russias nuclear threats are NOT something China wants .

now ....who wants to freinds with a loser ??
not freinds without limmits anyway
they just want this war settled , now ....settled with russia at least taking SOMETHING out of it

Russia-China relations “turning sour” as Putin “embarrasses” Xi
