I commented on Trump- Putin meeting with our SF China Group as follow (John is White Jewish and retired medical doctor graduated from Harvard)

John: it will depends on whether you see the glass is half empty or half full!

Remembered Trump said once he became US President will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. Anyone follow the war knew it was a lie and it is still a lie.

Trump has no choice but to talk to Putin. Even if nothing happened still looks good on US medias, remember he is going after the Nobel Prize!

Trump insiders especially the Chinese hawk (hater) want to pull Russia back to US side to contain China. Putin is smart called Xi a few days ago assuring Xi and informing Xi Russia’s bottom line. That is exactly what we will do in consulting when we act as a consultant for a new client when there could conflict with our old client to get their approval! We call it integrity and trust factors. US has none, go out to screw anyone at will including friends and allies!

Let’s not forget Ukraine is fighting a proxy war against Russia for US. US is the judge, jury and executioner! It is nothing but a Hollywood show.

Russia will never come back to US as long as Putin is alive. That is why there is a regime change in the work against Putin. But I doubt the US could win. Russia is not the HK in 2019.

Russia and EU have little chance to improve as long as EU remains a vassal of US and US got EU balls. EU is never a united front to do anything except since they are White, they hated China just like US! If anyone don’t believe Chinese yellow skin is an issue in the White men world. For Chinese it is time to wake up. Unfortunately even many Chinese in this group have fantasy, little action only lips service. It is sad indeed. But I respect their decision to stay in US.

The war will continue probably until Russia takes over the Capital of Ukraine.

Almost 300 billions spent on Ukraine is now a debt by Ukraine to US and EU.

Ukraine is the biggest loser, followed by EU. US who started the war the biggest winner will get all the reconstruction projects 100% paid by EU plus getting all of the Ukraine natural resources! Russia also a big winner getting Russia speaking provinces.

China is also turn out to be big winner got energy security from Russia. A friendly Russia meant China does not have to worry about Russia from the north. Russia also open up North Pole sea routes for China’s belt and road, a warm water port 海參威 (it was China’s territory before ceded to Russia) in Russia territory across from Japan for Chinese navy to use. In terms of military defense, even without a military treaty, they will coordinate their nuclear forces aiming at US for deterrence. Don’t forget Russia has some of the best nuclear submarines, one could be sitting right outside the SF Bay aiming nuclear missiles at us as we speak. China nuclear submarines is now as advanced as US and Russia. What takes US to build one destroyer, China could build 3-5 and China has a dozen of shipyards doing the same.

We are not even counting that China now has 3, could have 5-6 aircraft carriers in 5 years.

Therefore the Alaska meeting, we can’t just look at a single event.

When I study history in HK, we look at current event backward through history what lead to the current event before drawing a conclusion.

In America everything is now, short term. For China with 5,000 years of history, China will play Taichi and 孫子兵法 with you to see who is the last one standing. I will not even bet 1 penny on US long term survival going forward. The way we do thing this country is finished! The death of another empire is forthcoming.
