[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pains me to say it but as Russia doesn’t really back down despite great losses: economic, war, and others - I am afraid the world will run out of resources to support Ukraine at the level needed to win in a sense that Ukrainians understand it. They will soon be pressured into some sort of negotiations or accepting that they might lose some while winning a lot: world sympathy and support. I know it doesn’t sound very patriotic and I will probably be accused of being a Russian troll but I just don’t see the needle moving in the next few years. 
Similar to covid there will be some sort of easing up and giving in.

It’s only a matter of time. Russia will eventually have to pull out. Russia will have to decide whether that will be soon or a decade from now but it is inevitable. The Ukrainians will never let the occupiers rest. Even the USA had to leave Afghanistan after the people refused to be governed. Ukraine will be the same for Russia. It’s tragic that humans insist on wasting lives and resources on pointless wars.[/quote]

This.  It’s exactly like what Afghanistan was for the USSR as well.  At least the Soviets protested the body bags coming home.  But Russia can’t keep this up.  They know they are running out of cannon fodder and munitions. [/quote]

Where do these claims of Russian casualties come from? Judging by videos out there, the AU is probably taking 10x the casualties. [/quote]

You're right - there were no Russian casualties in Afghanistan!  Just like there were no Russian casualties in Ukraine!

It’s impressive how the Jameis Winston crab legs memes from a decade ago have been repurposed.[/quote]

After the Xi visit, very appropriate.  китайский краб.

Funny thing about the Chinese - the slightest twist can imply very subtle meanings.  A guy like Xi is very careful in the words he uses.

WHAT WAS REPORTED IN THE WEST:

Xi Jinping told Putin when he left: "This also It’s really part of a century of change, and we’re pushing it together.” 
Putin said: “I agree.” Xi Jinping said goodbye: “Take care.”

WHAT WAS SAID IN THE EXCHANGE BETWEEN XI AND PUTIN:

Xi: 这也真是百年变局之一部分，我们共同来推动 (This is really part of the century-old changes, and we will work together to promote)
Putin: I agree
Xi: 多保重 (Please do take care, in a heavier form  - zhòng)

BASE OF LAST PHRASE: http://xh.5156edu.com/html5/z39m31j146490.html

保 = to protect - (bǎo,) protect bǎo guard, protect from damage or loss: defend. Keep it. Health care. Guarantee. Confidentiality. Mingzhe saves himself. Morning and evening (morning and evening)

重 = important - (chóng,zhòng,) heavy zhòng (f s) is large, as opposed to "light": heavy load. Heavy load. Weight (lig). Gravity. Weightlifting. Negative.

多 duō literally means “a lot”, but is often used to kindly urge someone “please do ..”

ALTERNATE MEANING THAT XI DIDN'T SAY:https://www.chineseclass101.com/lesson/fun-easy-chinese-15-how-to-say-congratulations-and-express-condolences/

请多保重. Qǐng duō bǎo zhòng. “Please do take care” or “please take good care of yourself."

ALTERNATE MEANING THAT XI DIDN'T SAY:https://www.trainchinese.com/v2/wordDetails.php?rAp=0&wordId=69224&tcLanguage=en

您多保重 nín duō bǎo zhòng.  "Take good care of yourself."

ANCIENT TAOISM MEANING: https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/13089/why-保重-means-take-care

In ancient word "保重" came from "保重啬神" in Taoism and means "Keep healthy"

Interesting, isn't it?[/quote]

I don't see the difference.  You made it seem like Yassir Arafat back in the day saying one thing in English and one thing in Arabic.[/quote]
