As an unsentimental practitioner of realpolitik, Xi does not want to wind up on what could be the losing side. @FT reports “China now perceives a likelihood that Russia will fail to prevail against Ukraine and emerge from the conflict a ‘minor power'." https://t.co/EXIImI3ji8 — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

Russia is running low of everything from artillery shells to drones to missiles. But only Iran and North Korea have so far been willing to provide the Kremlin with military equipment. Advantage, Ukraine. Russia’s biggest missing military supplier is China. https://t.co/EXIImI3ji8 — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Heer, a 30-year veteran of the CIA, told me he agreed there was a “potential opportunity” here: “Putin has become an embarrassment to Xi, if not yet a net liability.” But the question is what kind of quid pro quo can Washingon offer? https://t.co/EXIImI3ji8 — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

Far from going all in on Putin, Xi is trying to balance between the West and Russia – thereby creating a potential opportunity for the Biden administration. https://t.co/EXIImI3ji8 — PolitiTweet.org

As an unsentimental practitioner of realpolitik, Xi does not want to wind up on what could be the losing side. A defeated Russia may not be a very useful future ally for China – another country that has few friends in the world. https://t.co/EXIImI3ji8 — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

China could play the same role for Russia the US is playing for Ukraine. If that were to happen, the odds of a Russian victory would rise exponentially. But that hasn’t happened, suggesting, in practice, sharp limits to the “no limits” Xi-Putin friendship. https://t.co/EXIImI3ji8 — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

49ers Defense doing an outstanding job. The one big play they gave up wasn’t really a catch. But now looks like they will have not only stop the Eagles offense but score points too. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

What a catastrophic start for the Niners. 🤦‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

What a non catch. I was screaming at TV that it looked like the ball hit the ground. Replay eventually confirmed it. But the Eagles quickly ran the next play and 49ers didn’t challenge. Massive mistake that cost Niners 7 points. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

Very nervous about the @49ers-@Eagles game. Two very closely matched teams, but the Eagles have a dual-threat QB who could be the difference maker. Whatever happens it’s been a fantastic, improbable season for the Niners. Getting this far with QB3 is a helluva job all around. 🙏 — PolitiTweet.org
