‘Don’t see why not’: China envoy on backing Ukraine’s ’91 borders
Story by Priyanka Shankar • 10h ago

================================================

But maybe that's a nod to Taiwan.

Give that a twist, and it looks like China is promoting the idea of "traditional borders", like when Taiwan was closer to China.

But from the gist of the heading. Its interesting watching the competition for position after the rebellion and lukashenko is truely making hay while the sun shines.
I sense its a form of worry and panic and they are despite appearances, very unsettled.

Doesn't the whole "mutiny", "military coup" saga seem like a staged event or charade?

Damn it, one moment Prigozhin is virtually on the outskirts of Moscow and the next he does an about turn without any military intervention while he was covering 200kms other than an alleged downing of a bunch of Russian attack choppers ... from a convoy of tanks bearing down on the Capital?

Next him and his men are fully exonerated and have free passage to exile in Belarus and Putin has swatted away any intention of reprisal at the loss of a shitload of attack helicopters and their crews ... Doh!

Wouldn't it sound more realistic to assume some smart chess-playing moves are being made where the Wagner bunch are regrouping and planning an attack on Kiev instead by using Belarus as its platform?
There has to be a reason for Putin to have moved a bunch of nukes into Belarus recently when he could have done so long ago ... after all he's big buddies with Lukashenko.

Putin is freezing out and arresting people deemed to be traitors after the Wagner mutiny: reports

I really dont see anything to gain from staging the coup. Its all negatives if you are wishing to win a war.
But Russian disfunctional thinking could be a possible reason?
