Isolation, They Said: Xi Embraces Putin & Modi In Major China Summit - Trump Responds
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, held from August 31 to September 1, was clearly an economic 'show of force' aimed at the West, which included the typical formal greetings and speeches, and group photos - but also with some not so subtle messaging.
Amid the chummy atmosphere which saw Presidents Xi, Modi, and Putin share hugs, handshakes, and warm moments filled with laughter, it is intent on signaling to the world a major shift away from US-led global dominance and toward a multipolar world increasingly shaped by Asia, Eurasia, and the Global South, also coming at a moment Washington is threatening severe secondary sanctions on any nation doing business with Russia.

Peace In Ukraine Won't End The West's Hybrid War On Russia

Russia's natural resource wealth and new role in accelerating multipolar processes incentivize the West to continue its Hybrid War on Russia even in the event of peace in Ukraine. The US' neoconservative policymaking faction and the EU's liberal-globalists (essentially one and the same at this point) continue to perceive Russia as an enduring rival to contain and ideally dismember.
That's why they're expected to refine their ongoing Hybrid War on Russia in the coming future through the following three means.
The first involves their efforts to win the “tech race”, specifically in terms of AI and the Internet of Things, which they envisage will enable them to lead the “Fourth Industrial Revoluti...
