Why Putin and Xi Jinping's relationship isn't what it seems | Michael Sheridan

“The Chinese say that the Tsar stole big tracts of land in the 19th century. These are now Vladimir Putin's Eastern Oblast on the Pacific. These are lost lands.”

We spoke to him at the Cheltenham literary festival about his new book "The Red Emperor: Xi Jinping and his New China."

Trump won’t get a second term.

We hope!

We have high hopes trump loses. Between George Bush & Donald Fraud, confident in the US has been shaken to the core. The post WWII system requires the US be, at least, sane-ish. My stress level has Scottie telling the bridge we can't continue like this for long.
