The State Department has shut down the office that sought to deal with misinformation and disinformation that Russia, China and Iran have been accused of spreading.
I think differently actually. And unfortunately, I’m not sure it’s going to work out for Zelensky, but I don’t blame him for trying.
So China is not directly supplying weapons. Zelensky implied as much so far. What he’s saying is China is supplying gun powder and artillery shells. With the obvious implication that Russia is filling the shells with the gun powder and making them live. This had probably been happening the whole time. This is the complaints about dual use.
So why now? Well, it’s a good time to get China riled up so they’ll comment. Zelensky needs weapons, even if China doesn’t stop selling to Russia, selling to Ukraine as well would be good. In which case Zelensky can turn around and say then come talk to us, if your neutral you’ll let us buy too. Which might have been a good plan if USA wasn’t completely fucking insane and keeping China from even talking because they got other shit to deal with.
I was more referring to Putin being owed a favor for manipulating a certain orange idiot into actions that are likely to favor China. But I don’t really see anything wrong with your analysis of Zelensky’s possible motivations.

Oh yeah, completely agree. Misunderstood that my bad.
