Putin spoke and Xi's lips didn't even move!
Big talk from the junior partner:
Russia on Tuesday called the United States an adversary and told U.S. warships to stay well away from Crimea "for their own good", calling their deployment in the Black Sea a provocation designed to test Russian nerves. ...
"The United States is our adversary and does everything it can to undermine Russia's position on the world stage," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was cited as saying by Russian news agencies.
Well of course Russia would call America their adversary! Russia extended their indentured servant contract under China for another five years. That agreement requires Russia to conceal their appeasement of China with tough talk against the non-threat of NATO to Russia.
And the really funny thing about Russia's aggression against Ukraine is that China is taking notes. Does Russia think that only Russians can wage war to regain lost territory?
