Maduro was obviously back stabbed. I don’t think some people understand that even if Russia or China chose to provided any support that it would have changed anything. China could give them dozens of fighter jets but it doesn’t matter if their internal security is about as secured as a block of Swiss cheese.

They were paid off to stand down as 2 slow helicopters flew over a full moon into the capital with zero resistance. Just like in Syria when the SAA was paid off by the CIA and disappeared into the void shortly after. There is no reason for China or Russia to provide significant support to a weak state that is irrelevant geopolitically and lacks strategic purposes due to its far distance.

The guy was clearly backstabbed.
Right, if you want Chinese support you need to demonstrate at a minimum you are going to put up a fight, in Chinese this would be called showing "United Front value". It's hardly unique to China, Ukraine was getting only symbolic support in early 2022 until they demonstrated they were going to put up a serious fight unlike 2014, only then did they start to receive some real support from the west.

Russia didn't get the same level of support in 2022 as they are these days, it only happened after their partial mobilisation in late 2022, demonstrating they are in fact taking the war seriously.
North Korea got tacit acknowledgment for their nuclear program only last year after KPA demonstrated they were an effective fighting force in Kursk.
Pakistan continues to enjoy their Iron Brother status by proving once again they had both the balls and the competence to take on the much larger IAF in the largest scale aerial combat in decades.

Conversely, Iran does the bare minimum in supporting their own Axis of Resistance, so they get only symbolic support from China too.

I guess you could say Trump is both USA's Brezhnev and Gorbachev. By the time he's done with America it will be filled with Luckin and Mixue.

I feel like the establishment of Luckin and Mixue in the US are very bad economic signs. This is not the 2010’s when Chinese companies were trying to show off by expanding to the US, but rather a new era of actual business sense. If these companies like Luckin and Mixue that are known for low cost treats are expanding into the US, it means they have identified a population that can no longer afford Starbucks or Baskin Robbins.

History is repeating itself. We are going to see who is the Chamberlain of the 21st century. Starmer, Macron, or both?
Veil of democracy and freedom is lifting. Previously, they'd hide their intent and actions, but now they do it openly. I'm pretty sure it's because people, in general, now are aware that Western ideology is a bullshit facade over age-old feudalism, the exemplary exposition of which was Israel's genocide in Gaza that had total support of the West (save Ireland and S.Africa). No point hiding it anymore since nobody believes them anyways.

U.S wants to annex Greenland and make Mexico, and South America as its new vessel while helping out Israel to become the superpower in the mideast. Israel dont plan to stop at Gaza and Iran, they want Saudi too. Israel and UAE partner up at Yemen is the example of that.

So are China and Russia going to partner up and create a unity mass country in the future? Russia really needed that help because their population is low for such a huge landmass.

The map borders are going to change in these next three years.

Maduro agrees to the same set of conditions except one thing:himself.

Russia and China helped Venezuela hold on in current form. Boots on ground or airdrop puppet is not a viable option.

It is very much expected when China issued loans.

Vietnamese nationalists had the delusions this company would've made them Asia's EV superpower instead of China. But they couldn't even make it in the part of the US with the highest EV adoption rate, where due to environmental beliefs people are willing to get their hands on anything not just Teslas.
