      They keep posting stuff like this as if it is significant. The one guy was 78, the other had suffered a serious illness for some time. Innuendo.

        I concur. The only time I pause is when the deceased are defenestrated, suddenly and inexplicably go into massive toxic shock or are found dead from multiple gunshot wounds.

                                      Sooner or later China will call its mortgage. May not be in Putin’s time, but China will someday come knocking. The Kremlin, or whatever new age Fascist state is left if of it in the wake of the current criminal regime, will run to the West for assistance.

                                      We should think twice about assisting.

                                        The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but they may prove useful. Assuming that Russia still has any nukes that are reliable - an uncertain thing given recent kleptocracy in the armed forces, they could still inflict some damage on China. And if it’s within a decade of this misadventure it will be all they have left.

                                          We should think twice about assisting.

                                          Why? I understand that a weak Russia is probably in our nations' best interests.

                                          However, if that weakness comes at the cost of a strong China, is that a good thing?
