#Russian propagandists are not sure #China is #Russia's friend:
"#Russians spending New Year's Eve in #China say that the #Chinese army is conducting complex and large-scale exercises. If the #Taiwan issue ignites, 100% both #Koreas, #Japan, most likely the #Philippines, and maybe #Vietnam will be involved in the conflict. And it's not too far from the #DPRK to #Vladivostok." - #Russian MP #Andrey_Gurulev.

This year really had the crazierst shit happen. From #Hezbollah being decimated by #exploding #pagers, over someone trying (and, arguably, sadly failing) to 360 #noscope #Trump; #Elon #Musk getting his own #government office; south #koreas PM #Yoon pulling a #coup to stay in power, followed by his #party feverishly defending his actions to an #anti-islamic ex- #muslim doctor running 400m of #christmas #market with his car #killing five because he thinks #germany is turning into #afghanistan 
This is a potpourri. I have covered 1. #India #Canada spat implications 2. #PLA‘s mil drills around #Taiwan 3. #SCO meet 4. #China stimulus 5. #Israel – #Hezb– #Iran 6. N & S #Korea spat. It makes an interesting analysis. Bit long…see it in parts…at your leisure.
