China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin discuss Middle East

The Russo-Ukrainian War is already a World War III by any other name given how many countries are involved on both sides!

Putin the Terrible is a megalomaniac and war criminal, so don't expect anything good to come from him.

Hopefully, Xi Jinping will remain moderate and help to deescalate the situation! Do not pour oil into the fire!
