Putin and Xi Zinping are of the same mind: Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine

Biden and his Nato partners helping Ukraine defend itself against Russia will all have come to the same conclusion about the visit to Moscow of President Xi Zinping. The Chinese communist leader is not going to allow his friend Vladimir lose the war in Ukraine. Xi will suport Putin all the way and while ostensibly advocating peace and an end to the war, he will see to it that the Russian leader gets what he needs to stop Nato-backed Kyiv from driving Russian invasion troops out of the country, even it means sending Chinese arms. I think there is now an even greater chance that Xi will agree to send munitions and ammo to help Russian troops maintain the attrition war with Kyiv's forces. And there is nothing that the West can do to stop it. More sanctions against China will not be enough to dissuade Xi from helping Putin. The two leaders are now so close in their anti-American strategy that it would be extraordinary if Xi refused to send arms. I believe he will do so, especially now that the US is accelerating its delivery of Abrams tanks and Patriot anti-missile missiles to Ukraine. They should have the older version of the Abrams, the M1A1, in the next six to seven months, as well as Patriots and both weapon systems should make a significant difference on the battlefield. So by the autumn, Putin will be pushing hard for China to join in and send arms. If Russia looks vulnerable or facing defeat by then, China I am sure will step in. Then we really will have a global struggle for power and domination.
