Last year declassified intel exposed China’s weapons support for Russia in Ukraine. China denied it. Russia denied it. And wrongly, so did the US. Now however, the evidence is landing on the battlefield.

Xi is powering Putin's genocide in Ukraine.
These cold-blooded killers must be stopped

@yogthos It's good common sense for #NATO to not rely too much on the #US ... duh...

@yogthos Yes, it's true some people in charge of #NATO early on had a past in the German army. But this was right after the war, and the main idea was to bring West Germany into the group to stand strong against the #SovietUnion . They were picked for their military knowledge, not for their old loyalties. NATO has changed a lot since then, and this old history doesn't show what NATO is today.
