FINIAN CUNNINGHAM—President Xi was quoted as telling Biden: “A statesman should think about and know where to lead his country.

Russia’s enemies sh*t their pants. Russia tested its Satan-2 nuclear hypersonic missile, 16,000 mph.
Russia’s advances in rocketry keep adding superior weapons to her inventory of tactical and strategic assets the West is yet to match, and that may account for the fact NATO has not been too keen to seek a frontal attack on Russia herself.

ERIC ZUESSE—peculation is rife that U.S/NATO are winning the military war in Ukraine (by arming and commanding Ukraine’s armed forces — it’s a proxy-war on the U.S. side), and also is rife that Russia is winning the military war in Ukraine (using its own forces), but “the fog of war” and propagandistic agendas dominate the military war on both sides (both the U.S.-and-allied side that gets its ‘information’ from Ukraine’s Government) and the Russian side that gets its ‘information’ from Russia’s Government).
