While the rest of the world supports Ukraine, China is supporting Russia. As this on the heels of a pandemic that started in China.

Putin is totally blind not to see that most of the world is against him in this assault on the Ukraine. He can’t just claim countries in the name of Russia.
Putin does not give dam about what people think. and Putin, as Chinese leaders , thinks that Western democracies are weak because they are reluctant to use force, internally as well as in their foreign policy.
