The New York Times just posted an Op Ed by Thomas L. Friedman and it has me gushing my most patronizing southern “Oh honey, bless your little heart.”
The article was first published under the title, “Dear China: Whose Side Are You on in Ukraine?” But that understandably got some serious backlash and criticism for being just plain old stupid. So in glorious Orwellian fashion, they just changed the title. They love to just change their titles when they face criticism. It’s hilarious. Because then all the people searching for the article can’t find it, and all the people being told about it think it’s fake because they can’t find it, plus it doesn’t populate results in relation to relevant tags so it doesn’t get saddled with all the backlash and criticism.
Their new title is “The Cancellation Of Mother Russia Is Under Way.” Here are the screenshot receipts so you can see how they try to rewrite history.
This poor Mr. Friedman. Is he honestly just now realizing that almost everything that has been done thus far regarding Russia has simply pushed Putin and Russia right into the open communist arms of China and Xi Jinping, who have been planning and preparing to capitalize on exactly this situation? China is so down for this war! They’re totally psyched and taking total advantage.
I mean, back in November, the Chinese government warned the Chinese people to stock up on staple food items, “just in case.” At the time it was weird and caused some confusion, even internationally. People were like, ‘Wait, what? Why?’
Then, last month, the Chinese Government lifted restrictions on Russian wheat imports. Simultaneously, like the very same day, Xi refused to condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine, instead accusing the U.S. of “fueling fire.” If we are, we’re probably using Russian gas to do the job… But I digress.
And now, what do you know, the Chinese agriculture minister is saying that “the condition of China’s winter wheat crop could be the ‘worst in history,’” paving the way with the perfect excuse to make a massive wheat deal with Russia, which would ease the economic burden of the sanctions imposed on Russia by Western nations.
And while China was accusing the U.S. of fueling the fire of conflict, American officials were meeting with Chinese officials to present intelligence showing the impending Russian invasion and asking China to “help avert war in Ukraine.” I’ll give you one guess what China did with that intelligence. Yep! They ran straight to Putin with it. Because they didn’t WANT to avert the war! They wanted Russia to be forced right into their open arms. And they benefit greatly from the Western world being focused on Russia instead of China, the Uyghur genocide, Covid, intellectual property theft, etc.
Oh, and don’t forget about the massive oil deal that China just made with Russia last month.
Back on February 9th, the New York Times published an article titled “A New Axis,” about Russia and China forming “an alliance of autocracies.” Which is hilarious because back in 1939, they published an article also titled “A New Axis” about the Italy-Germany alliance of World War II.
In their modern version of an article about history literally repeating itself, the NYT details how Xi has been unwilling to meet with also anyone for any reason for years, and then suddenly breaks this independent streak to meet with Putin, which meeting birthed a 5,000 word announcement about “a new closeness between China and Russia,” which specifically proclaimed a “redistribution of power in the world.” The Washington Post explained how the joint statement “signals that, if Russia invades, China will help Mr. Putin withstand the crippling economic sanctions that the United States and its allies plan to impose.” The statement even says there are “no limits” to the “friendship” between the two countries, and “no ‘forbidden’ areas of cooperation.” Racial genocide of the Uyghurs? Not a problem. Invasion of neighboring nations? Right on. China’s about to call in favors when they invade Taiwan, anyway.
And to top it all off, Visa and MasterCard have suspended all operations in Russia over their invasion of Ukraine. An economic sanction of sorts through a private party protest. And what do you think Russia did?
They went straight to China and adopted their version of Visa MasterCard. They just cut out the Westerners who were trying to sanction them. And China, true to their word, was totally on board to help them weather the crippling economic sanctions being imposed by the West. Just like the wheat.
Make no mistake, China is squarely on the side of Russia. They are autocratic and communist and dictatorial superpower pals fighting the rest of the world who plays by a very different set of rules and who have yet to understand and acknowledge exactly what it is they are up against with China and Russia.
It’s just hilarious that the New York Times is so ridiculously clueless at this point in the game.
