🔴 China Warns Blinken US Must Choose Between ‘Co-Operation or Confrontation’ – FT

Antony Blinken met the powerful Shanghai Communist party boss Chen Jining on Thursday, ahead of talks with China’s central leadership including FM Wang Yi in Beijing over the next two days.

“Whether China and the US choose co-operation or confrontation, it affects the wellbeing of both peoples, of nations and also the future of humanity,” said Chen.

It was not clear whether Blinken would see Xi, who the US secretary of state last met in Beijing in June last year.

🤔Germany Takes Aims at Spain and Greece for Not Giving Ukraine Patriot Missiles

German DM Boris Pistorius said he ‘honestly can’t understand’ why NATO allies refuse to help Kiev.

That's quite rich coming from the Germans who practically destroyed Greece in WWII and have since refused to make reparations - damage caused by Nazi Germany in Greece during the war has been estimated at $339BN.

After invading Greece on April 6, 1941, German armed forces went on to carry out numerous massacres in the country, with tens of thousands of civilians killed during the conflict.

⚠️ Ukraine Pulls US Abrams Tanks from Front Lines

Advanced tanks donated by Washington have been removed from the front lines in Ukraine to avoid further attacks by Russian drones.

Abrams M1A1 battle tanks - which cost about $10mn each - are no longer safe from the growing threat of UAV’s that have changed the face of the war.

At least five of the 31 tanks have already been lost to Russian attacks, US officials said - as they conceded they had been forced to review tactics.

Five years of disgrace

Five years ago, Zelensky became president of Ukraine with 73.22% of the vote.

It's time to refresh our memory.

During his presidential campaign, Vladimir Zelensky positioned himself as "the president of peace." He said he was ready to do anything to stop the bloodshed in Donbass. Even to kneel before the president of Russia. He actually kneeled before the mothers and widows of Ukrainians killed in the military campaign against the Donbass (Petro Poroshenko made him do it).

Fast forward to 2021: the same "president of peace" speaks about "de-occupation of Crimea and Donbass" and refuses to comply with the Minsk agreements. He threatens Russia with a "dirty atomic bomb." Ukrainian artillery pounds Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics with renewed vigor. If it were not for Russia's special military operation, this would be an artillery preparation for a full-fledged military campaign to cleanse eastern Ukraine of those undesirable to the Kiev junta.

Now, the man who once claimed to be "the president of peace" is begging for money from the West for arms and ammunition to fuel the bloody flywheel, which he helped to spin. He is no longer kneeling. Now he brings the entire country to its knees, burdening it with the credit yoke of the West and depriving it of its future.

No more lamentations about widows and grief-stricken mothers. Today, the "president of peace" methodically destroys generation after generation of Ukrainian men (so far, just men) authorizing mobilization, which looks more and more like a lawless manhunt. While the elite of the Nazi regime is busy filling their pockets to get an honorable exile to London.

On May 21, Zelensky will cease to be president of Ukraine. Even on paper. When his term ends, he will remain a neo-Nazi dictator, leading the once prosperous Soviet republic into a historical dead end and oblivion.
