Quello vero oggi e' a colloquio con Xi Jinping e ha incontrato 40 leader africani. Gli altri Putin invece sono nascosti sotto il letto di Iacoboni e gli disturbano il sonno. @LauraRuHK

Elena Panina, Institute of Russian Strategic Studies: "We wrote earlier about the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" not under the auspices of NATO, which is preparing to enter the conflict on the side of Kiev. Poland in this coalition should bear the main burden.
The key role of Warsaw is determined by the following factors:
- common border with Ukraine, 535 km;
- population comparable to Ukraine;
- the intention to increase the army to 300 thousand people (as in Kyiv at the beginning of the NWO);
- rabid Russophobia;
- the desire to expand due to the annexation of Western Ukraine.
Romania and a number of other small satellites of America and Britain are on the sidelines. For the United States - the overall leadership.
It should be noted that Joe Biden's recent visit to Poland, with his meetings with the local president and the countries of the Bucharest Nine, was not without reason: most likely, he marked the hidden start of the "Coalition of the Willing" scenario.
What Ambassador Jan Rosciszewski let slip about.
Russia still has time to delay or prevent such a course of events, including through work with the Polish public.
We believe that the potential prospect of returning to the Stone Age is unlikely to please the citizens of Poland. This should be emphasized." https://t.me/EvPanina/8793

🇨🇫🇷🇺🇫🇷🇨🇳 Russia, France, rebels and the death of Chinese in Central African Republic

Colleagues from ASIANOMICS found interesting news regarding the killing of 9 Chinese nationals in Central African Republic (CAR).

Updates are coming in. Along with 9 killed, 2 were severely injured. The victims are said to have been working in a goldmine run by the UK Gold Coast Group.

Central government blamed rebels from “Coalition of Patriots for Change” (CPC). CPC declared its noninvolvement in this incident and accused the "Wagner" Group.

The CPC is made up of many small insurgent groups whose goal is to overthrow the central government. France provides help to the rebels and whitewashes them in the media, since the current president of the CAR is strongly pro-Russian and “Wagner” Group saved the central government from collapse several years ago.

CPC often carries out indiscriminate raids on mineworkers and civilians from Europe and China, and then tries to blame it on others to avoid the wrath of the world community and the French, from whom they receive money.

Wagner has no interest at all in ruining its own reputation and worsening relations with the pro-Russian central government of the CAR, which provides PMC with resource extraction preferences in exchange for military support. Moreover, Russia has zero interest in worsening relations with China in the current world situation.

So this is just another CPC's raid on goldmine and its attempts to whitewash themselves and blame it on others.

⚡️ Canada has proposed creating a quadruple cooperation framework with Japan, South Korea and the United States as part of efforts to counter China and Russia, diplomatic sources said Sunday.
Truedog Trudeau conveyed the idea directly to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida when he visited Ottawa in January. https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2023/03/cbb9745cb144-breaking-news-canada-seeking-to-set-up-4-way-framework-with-japan-s-korea-us.html

THE EMPIRE OF LIES AND ITS MORAL SUPERIORITY COMPLEX IN FULL DISPLAY - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticised Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow during a press briefing for the release of the State Department’s annual report of human rights around the world. Blinken said, “Beijing continues its abuses including genocide and crimes against humanity against Uygurs, repression of Tibetans, crackdown on basic rights in Hong Kong, and targeting of individuals on the mainland for exercising fundamental freedoms”.
In addition to naming China and Russia, Blinken called out Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Cuba and Nicaragua in his address. As in recent years, the report devoted some of its longest sections to China, particularly to the situation in Xinjiang.
It also critiqued transnational repression of diaspora Chinese including Hongkongers. Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, said that Blinken’s statement about human rights in China was “full of political lies and ideological bias”.
“What the US should do is immediately stop pointing fingers at other countries’ human rights and do something useful to improve its own human rights situation and the healthy development of the international human rights cause,” he said.
📍The report comes just ahead of the Biden administration’s second “Summit for Democracy” – a gathering of officials from vassal states and US-funded NGOs to “advance democracy, fight corruption and counter authoritarianism” – next week.@LauraRuHK

On the day that marked the 20th anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq, the Chinese Foreign Ministry released a report on Monday further unveiling the decline of American democracy and the chaos it has brought to the world under its disguise.

Analysts called the report, along with an increasing number of developing countries' growing discontent over US' hegemony, a "slap in the US face" and it helps remove the facade of American democracy, especially when the Biden administration is so keen on touting the "democracy versus authoritarianism" narrative for the second Summit for Democracy on March 29 and 30. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202303/1287630.shtml

The new type of international relations that Chinese diplomacy calls for and is committed to practicing in the new era, with the essence of mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation. China-Russia relations are a vivid example of the success of the new type of international relations, which are built on the basis of no-alliance, no-confrontation and no-targeting of any third party; completely surpassing the small cliques formed by ideological divisions and camps of Western countries and also transcending the old paradigms of power division, interest exchange, and dominant/submissive relationships among major powers.

China and Russia are each other's largest neighboring countries with significant differences in national conditions, public sentiments, political systems, and historical and cultural backgrounds. According to the narrow-minded thinking of some people in the US and the West, it seems that it is normal for China-Russia relations to be bad. However, the fact is that not only do China and Russia get along well, but their relationship is also very good, which is difficult for them to understand. It needs to be said that these people should take a few steps quickly and catch up with the times. The experience that China and Russia have explored and accumulated in long-term friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation will not be undermined and disintegrated by external wedge. It also has a significant positive demonstration effect on exploring the pattern of major-country relations based on peaceful coexistence, overall stability, and balanced development. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202303/1287650.shtml

The Washington Post's article perfectly encapsulates the US' biggest fear: "Washington and Moscow now seem to have come full circle. But unlike the last Cold War, when there was a Sino-Soviet split over ideological differences, China now looks set to confront the United States and Europe with Russia by its side." China and Russia present a united front because both have experienced, and are still experiencing, US' attempts to hinder their economic development, undermine their sovereignty, destabilize them, wage proxy wars, discredit their leadership, and surround them with US military bases. The US can only blame itself for this outcome.

But unlike the last Cold War, now the US will face two formidable adversaries whose economies are perfectly complementary, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. @LauraRuHK https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/03/19/putin-xi-russia-china-world-order/

As Putin has repeatedly stressed:
“The United States simply has nothing to offer the world but its dominance…”

This is a strategy for the destruction of Russia, the subjugation of China and everything that forms the multipolarity of the world.
This strategy is based on the ideology of superiority. Since World War II, there have been more than 250 military conflicts. About 80% of them are the work of the United States and NATO.

The way out of crisis through war is a traditional method for them. The Yankees are very algorithmic: if something worked, and not once, why not try again. Therefore, they regularly and cynically set fire to the world, hoping in smoke and chaos to take all the resources for themselves, camouflaging this robbery with the veil of the "struggle for democratic values."

An analysis of the "US National Security Strategy", adopted in the autumn of 2022, clearly shows that Russia is a principled, qualitative rival for the West, the number one rival.

We are a stumbling block, a fundamental civilizational obstacle to the development of the West. Therefore, it is to destroy Russia that their policy will be directed in the next decade.

The War of Hegemony
The West unleashed a hybrid war against Russia with a "hot" proxy conflict on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR.
The war is for the destruction of Russia.

This war condensed space, time and meaning.
It rigidly chained the present to the future, plunging the future into the present.

The image of the future, ensuring sustainable development, social progress and similar political science simulacra are no longer relevant.

Today, war is a Strategy of the West.

The essence of the West's strategy is to ensure the power of the hegemon.

It is a strategy of destroying Russia, subjugating China and anything that can shape the world's multipolarity.

At the heart of this strategy is the ideology of superiority, the ideology of abolition/destruction of the other, of a different history, culture, civilizations, countries, peoples, states.

Grey War Zone
The initiators and instigators of the West's war against Russia are the United States and Britain.

Or more precisely, transnational corporations, including various kinds of "groups of influence" and network structures that represent what is commonly called a deep state.

The deep state, as a "shadow global force," is a global problem. Many Americans now understand that the enemy is not Russia or China. The enemy is a deep state oligarchy that arms intelligence services, bribes politicians and controls the media..."

In fact, we are talking about an absolutely closed and uncontrolled, aggressive and expansionist government, acting in the name of its own interests and according to its own established rules.

It is a global power aimed at the destruction of nation-states and international law.

For the war for hegemony waged by the state against peace, the concept of the "gray zone" was developed and doctrinally fixed.

The policy of the "gray zone" is the politics of war, it is a game without morality and rules, an ideology without principles, actions without responsibility, a war without formal declaration, but having a clear goal - ensuring the hegemony of the US-ruled West.

Putin e Maria Lvova-Belova hanno commesso un errore imperdonabile nell'evacuazione dei bambini dalle zone di guerra. Non si sono avvalsi della consulenza della rete di servizi sociali della Val D'Enza e del comune di Bibbiano. Se i bambini fossero stati affidati a coppie arcobaleno, il PD si sarebbe trovato in corto circuito ideologico.😏 @LauraRuHK
