Tell me what do you see in the photos below? Folks like #[0]​ and #[1]​ and others more in tune with political games may catch it.

China and Russia are making moves or Russia has at least ceded something to China (maybe weapons or protection). How do we know?

Putin is at home and yet enters from the right giving Xi the literal “upper-hand” power move and Putin didn’t counter with the elbow grab. (Watch the US President anytime he greets a foreign leader, they generally always counter or enter from the right).

Being a dictator, I am sure Putin is well aware of this and yet held back as a form of respect or peace offering. He also tries to pulls Xi closer, yet he remains at a distance until they turn for the photo op. I also noticed how Putin went with “the hey old friend” style handshake meaning they aren’t just political allies, but connected more personally as well.

Interesting stuff! 🤔

With Russia largely cut off from western energy markets, China becomes its most important customer. That probably also explains the dynamic here. Really interesting callout.

For sure, not to mention it sounds like more bodies and weapons. Along with probably some food sources and other benefits like access to markets and shipping masked as Chinese exports (re: India)
