Which of the facts in the article do you contest? The New Yorker appears to have been one of it not the only MSM outlets to have covered the pact between Russia and China which presaged the Ukraine invasion. You can mock my source but you cannot refute the facts in the article. BTW I know little about the New Yorker except that they covered this news event while others failed to, but challenge you to demonstrate why you ridicule it as a source when you cannot refute the content of the article? Do you simply shoot the messenger when confronted with inconvenient facts?
this territory is moderated
anyone who seriously claims that Russia would want to attack other countries outside Ukraine has either lost their mind or is doing the business of the neocons and the British. this is not worthy of comment

You are putting up strawmen rather than addressing the facts an issues I Have raised. Facts and issues you cannot refute. China and Russia signed a mutual support pact days before Putin invaded Ukraine The pact confirms mutual support for their claims toward Ukraine and Taiwan. If Ukraine falls, due to insufficient resistance from the 'west' then it is probable that Taiwan would be next.

Think of what Merkel Macron told the MSM about the Minsk treaty
reply
Well, I guess with the Maidan coup they understood that UK/US were playing false
reply
Can you respond to the facts and issues raised in the New Yorker article? It seems not.
China and Russia have entered a pact to challenge the West and Russia goes first invading Ukraine. Pending the result of the Ukraine excursion, Taiwan is next.
Speculation~ Trump will hand Ukraine to his handler Putin. China subsequently attempt to take Taiwan, if successful the US has lost its global hegemony and China is at least on an equal if not superior footing to Uncle Sam.

if you study European history a little, you will automatically come across the English motto: keep the Germans down and the Russians out. this has been the exact policy for several centuries
reply
I do not see how that is relevant to the current global power dynamics. Europe is no longer a significant player. US and China are the modern centres of power and the contest is between them.
You seem unable to respond ton the contemporary reality as it was reported in The New Yorker and has since unfolded.
reply
Would You please answer on the Maidan coup and the Minsk affair instead of referring to a magazine article which I oppose in any form?
reply
No, because you have not (and appear incapable of) justifying your arbitrary dismissal of The New Yorker as a credible source, therefore responding to any subsequent strawmen you throw out is not appropriate to the context of a fact based reasoned contest of ideas.
