Extremely. Their foreign interference campaigns are doing substantial damage to western democracy. They are an extremely hostile fascist nation.

They produce 10% of the world’s oil and 24% of its natural gas. Literally one of the most important countries on earth, which the Europeans rely on. When a human starves themselves of food, they die. When Europe starves itself of energy, its economies begin to wither.

Hard to say, but less oil means higher prices. So Ukraine/Western Europe, and the USA have lowered global supply and spiked prices with their wars.

You make it sound like “Western democracy” and “fascism” do not walk hand on hand in Palestine, Libya, Cuba or 30 other countries that your “eurocentrism culture” wants to loot.
Putin: “Did he say ‘thank you’?” Xi through tears: “He did.” Both: “AHAHAHAHAHA!”

lol 😂 did Xi tell Putin to enter into the Ukrainian civil war? Was he behind his rise into Russian politics?
Better question: how will he treat him compared to Trump?

Now Xi is the mightiest person on the planet. Why should he not make them do what he wants? This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t allow them to do other things as well.
I’m not a fan, but it is what it is

This is the stupidest episode of love island ever.
Xi added, “There are also 1,000-year-old trees in other places.”
Trump asked Xi if other foreign leaders were also received in the compound.
“Very rarely,” Xi responded. “At first, we usually didn’t hold diplomatic events here. Even after we started having some, it’s still extremely rare. For example, Putin has been here.”
Then he invited Trump to touch a 280-year-old tree.
“Good. I like it,” Trump replied.
