:D everyone get what they want.

In Chinese readout of the meeting, there is nothing about Ukrainian sovereignty, only "no collective confrontation (NATO) and EU master its own destiny".

Surprised the biggest news of the day has been missed: The Ukraine has cut gas to Europe. I guess they weren't happy about being told by Macron that it could take decades for them to join the EU. Some reports are saying it's only been partially reduced.

Will Germany restart Nordstream 2 or force the Ukraine to reconsider?
Back in the old days, the first response of someone extinguishing somebody's kitchen stove is war. I am "surprised" that Germany has not invaded Ukraine yet. :rolleyes:

It is more believable that its actually USA blocks Russian Gas to Europe. First by cutting off Nordstream "politely", now violently.

This is basically the US waging economic warfare to the EU.

The US has realised that it can't get Chinese industries, so instead, it has chosen to get EU's industries.

He also said Europe must show its historical responsibility and political wisdom and focus on its long term peace and security. "European security should be in the hands of Europeans," Xi said.

Xi reiterated that China has always been promoting peace talks with its own methods, reitering that China supports European countries to grasp their security in their own hands.

Looks like Europe wanted Xi's blessing before they try to cut their leash, Macron's newest proposal is to sidestep US influence in the EU.

Russia attacks Sweden -> UK joins -> NATO joins

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
The United Kingdom has pledged to defend Sweden if the country came under attack, with Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Magdalena Andersson signing a security assurance deal outside Stockholm.

The accord was signed on Wednesday as Sweden and Finland are pondering whether to join NATO following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

Finland is next
Johnson is later expected to make a similar defence commitment to Finland, where he will meet President Sauli Niinisto.
