I don't understand why people don't understand China's position. Especially since your so correct in your assessment. Xi will absolutely not suggest a god damn thing. China couldn't give less of a shit where the borders are between Russia and Ukraine. It's because of everything you said. They don't want Russia to crumble completely because of BRICS, beyond that if Russia returns all the land to Ukraine, China would be fine with that. Hell, even if Russia takes fairly significant losses and becomes a vassal state to China, that outcome would be fine to. Russia just can't completely crumble. China has been using it's natural resources to buy allies, that's why BRICS has been growing. Not because of anything to do with the war. This is also why all the world calling for China to stop Russia has fallen on deaf ears. China simply does not care. Except of course if it can help their PR, which is all this meeting would be about.

Only in times of war. It's literally one of the checks and balances to specifically prevent a president from stopping an election. Now, if we start a full blown war with Russia...

Of course you can, it's about superheroes, you can see it in the costumes.

Nothing besides that though. I also watched it and am drawing a blank. I think there was a scene with a boat for some reason?

So yeah, canceling it made perfect sense.
