Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin reinforced Russia’s support for China, backing Beijing’s claims over Taiwan and downplaying concerns about Sino-Russian cooperation.
At the Valdai forum, Putin stated that Russia views China as an ally with a “reasonable” policy on Taiwan, accusing Taiwan of provoking a Ukraine-style crisis in Asia.
He highlighted the strong trade and security ties between Russia and China, asserting that joint military exercises between the two nations are defensive and comparable to U.S.-Japan drills, and pose no threat to other countries.
If the US under the Trump/Musk regime supports China’s invasion of Taiwan, will all the tankies suddenly decide American imperialism is Worthy Of Critical Support, Actually?
It’ll finally answer the age old question:
Is their ideology primarily driven by being pro-Russia/China or is it primarily driven by being anti-America?
Or since they seem to not mind getting Trump elected, and support capitalist dictatorships, is it simply pro-authoritarianism?
