“We believe that the Skripal case should be resolved through talks based of real facts.”
CHINA has taken sides with Russia over the nerve attack, calling on Britain and the west to “abandon confrontation” in the wake of mass diplomat expulsions
Appearing to back Vladimir Putin, a spokesperson for Chinese president Xi Jinping has warned western nations to cease its hostile behaviour towards the Kremlin.
A united front of more than 20 western nations stunned Putin on Monday by expelling more than 100 Russian diplomats accused of being spies.
The unprecedented expulsion of Russian intelligence agents came in response to the poisoning of Skripal and Yulia, who remain in a critical condition.
Theresa May convinced US President Donald Trump, EU leaders and NATO that Russia is “highly likely” to be responsible for the Novichok attack in Salisbury.

Admitting a non-ideological posture and recognition of all people as essentially the same, one finds the Chinese contributions to major world events as among the most sober, rational and transparent. Russian actions are similarly of the no-nonsense variety as well, giving an explanation for the increasing rejection by people everywhere of Western stunts such as the reckless and dangerous Skripal fiasco.

The US is all stunts and smoke and mirrors now Jerry. They’re clearly fighting from a position of weakness.

The U.S. and Great Britain are two peas in a pod and I would not believe one word out of the lying mouths of either’s politicians. And I do not believe for one minute that Russia was behind this poisoning just as Russia did not in any way influence the U.S. elections. And even if they had, does the U.S. really want to go there when the U.S. has most definitely influenced foreign elections and there are facts to prove this unlike the fact that there is no hard evidence that the Russians influenced this latest election in any way? Those Washington political dogs are shameless!

Do Americans believe this lie about the supposed Skirpal poisoning, Shelby? Not being in the US, it’s hard for me to tell. The CIA and British intelligence seem to be playing the same script over and over again. At some point you would think people would recognize they’re being lied to.

Probably because Americans are gullible, stupid and fall for anything. If it is on Fox News, then it must be true. And Rush Lumbaugh or whatever his name is hasn’t gone anywhere, neither has InfoWars, Breitbart or the Heritage Foundation. And with Americans get their news from right wing lunatics, well now, you have your answer.

Very sad to hear that, Shelby. The last I heard Fox News fans were dying off.

If only enough of them would die off so that we could get that mess off the air, that would be an extremely great day. I think we need to replace TV with blogs like yours and others from where you get some of your content. You’re an eye-opener, to be sure. You need your own show!

The “warning” reflects the stature that China now carries on the world stage.

Indeed, JoAnn. I just finished a book about how Chinese state-owned and private interests bought out many of the western positions in African resources after the 2008 financial crash.

I just read that Russian oligarchs are buying up everything from foreign real estate to overseas oil fields to western sports teams. Those sanctions just ain’t enough to keep the Russians from getting what they want and I say, “Good for them.”
And the U.S. has just accused Putin of eliminating his opponent and the U.S. has also alleged ballot stuffing. So, why are we so concerned with Russia’s elections while at the same time, don’t even want them taking a peek at ours even as we accuse them of affecting the outcome of this latest election fraud which was a direct result of the fact that Americans don’t elect the president, the Electoral College does even if it has to be assisted by the Supreme Court?

Good points, Shelby. I personally would like to see more democracy in Russia (and in the US), but I honestly don’t believe anyone other than Putin has the strength of character necessary to deal with the constant Western provocation without getting us into a nuclear war.
