Some netizens believe that from a purely military perspective, if the Russian army directly engages in military conflict with NATO, it is highly likely that they will be beaten badly. Based on the latest combat methods of the Russian army on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield, once they encounter real NATO troops, there will basically be no chance to fight back; this is not a fair battle at all, but rather a one-sided failure.
US media has finally caught on: China is quietly "buying the dip" in Russia! Many people think that we are just buying some oil at a low price, but they are wrong! The truth is, this is a carefully orchestrated "strategic blood transfusion." While the other four rogues are rolling in the mud of Ukraine, China is quietly connecting the economic lifeblood of the Arctic bear, Russia, to its own veins with renminbi and industrial products. When Western public opinion misinterprets Sino-Russian cooperation as "buying the dip," they clearly misread this strategic cooperation based on complementarity and trust. In 2024, Sino-Russian trade is expected to reach $244.8 billion, with China maintaining its position as Russia's largest trading partner for 15 consecutive years. Behind this data lies the solid footprint of deep integration of the two countries' industrial chains, rather than the so-called "one-sided extraction." Energy is even more of a "stabilizer" in Sino-Russian cooperation. In 2024, Russia's crude oil exports to China will reach 108.47 million tons, accounting for nearly one-fifth of our imports, with pipeline natural gas deliveries exceeding 31 billion cubic meters. Take the Huadian Jiening Power Station on the banks of the Volga River, which supplies 3.02 billion kilowatt-hours annually, enough electricity for half the population of Yaroslavl Oblast. It has created over 140 local jobs and has allowed Chinese technical standards to gain international recognition. Cooperation is no longer limited to energy; 60.3% of electromechanical products in the Russian market come from China, with brands like SANY holding over 70% market share in Russia; Geely and Chery have established factories in Russia, filling the gap left by the withdrawal of Western brands. The improvement of the local currency settlement system allows energy transactions to bypass the shackles of the dollar, becoming an effective barrier against unilateral sanctions. In the Yamal LNG project, China's $80 billion investment helps Russia break through technological blockades, while Russia offers stable supplies in return, forming a win-win closed loop. This cooperation is by no means "taking advantage of a crisis"; while those four rogues are busy consuming themselves in the Ukrainian crisis, Sino-Russian cooperation has already brought 200 local jobs and 6 billion rubles in tax revenue, among other tangible benefits. In simple terms, this is not about one side outsmarting the other, but rather two neighbors discussing "keeping warm together and developing together" in a chaotic international environment. The more one observes Sino-Russian cooperation, the more interesting it becomes. The US media's claim of "buying the dip" is fundamentally unfounded. Russia has a rich resource base, while we have manufacturing and technology to offer, making our complementarity extremely strong. The Sino-Russian cooperation model of "non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third parties" has completely broken the Western zero-sum game mindset and provides a new paradigm for international cooperation in a turbulent world.
A long-standing topic Who in this country is clean!
Once, a friend who was in the jade business told me that a few years ago, he often drove jade to Fuzhou, Beijing. In their circle, who sent jade to whom was often a topic of conversation over tea.
So, who is clean? Even a village chief from a remote and backward place, where no birds poop, could embezzle millions. You ask, who is clean? If you don't pay at each level, who will promote you? Anyone can do it; why should it be you? Is it because your face is white? Or because you have good morals, emerging from the mud and remaining untainted, out of place in the crowd?
Corruption is destined. Not being corrupt is an exception; otherwise, why, with five thousand years of history, have only Bao Zheng and Hai Rui been the two clean officials? Bao Zheng is dramatized; the real situation makes it hard to say if he was truly a clean official. Hai Rui was also ultimately hung up like a plaque by the emperor and died in obscurity.
Clean officials have a flaw: they are self-appreciating and consider themselves solitary ministers. Such people find it hard to have execution power in the officialdom because they fear dirtying their feathers and cherish them too much.
Corrupt officials, from top to bottom, are unified, like one gear after another. As long as there is money, they will rotate swiftly. Look at the Ming Dynasty in 1566; after Yan Song fell, the reformers almost destroyed the Ming Dynasty. If the entire court were like Hai Rui, the dynasty would undoubtedly perish. They cherish their feathers, only thinking about their own cleanliness, which is undoubtedly harmful to the people. Without greed, there is naturally no motivation or willingness to push the national machine forward; what if they dirty themselves?
As for these military heads, corruption does indeed make people uneasy. What if the artillery shells or missiles are fake? What if they explode? Think about the shells in the flower wreath on the mountain; the shells don’t fire and can’t fit into the barrel.
A machine that has been around for five thousand years is hard to repair! Changing it is not allowed because it is unique. What to do? Worry, sleepless nights! In such a situation, do you still want to pursue unity?
How can we talk about Mongolia when we can't even get close to Ukraine?
一转眼就长大
--
If Mongolia joins NATO, will it become the second Ukraine? Let's put it this way: if NATO decides to hold a meeting at 8 AM, Mongolia might not arrive until 8 PM. As for why it would take 12 hours, it's probably because we got into a dispute with Russia over Mongolia.
Assuming NATO finishes its meeting at 8 AM and agrees to Mongolia's membership, the news would have to reach Ulaanbaatar via satellite signals. Mongolian officials would need to consider how to exit the country before they can sign any documents.
Their planes would have to fly over Chinese and Russian airspace, trains would have to pass through Chinese and Russian railways, and cars would have to cross the roads at the Chinese and Russian border. As long as either side says, "The weather is bad today, the airspace is closed," the Mongolian delegation wouldn't even be able to step out of their country.
This isn't a hypothesis; it's a tangible geographical reality: 99% of Mongolia's external passageways are surrounded by land from China and Russia, and its only access to the sea is through Chinese and Russian ports, with not even a sliver of territory. Even if NATO wants to implement a "rapid entry," it must first ask whether China and Russia will allow transit.
NATO, a military alliance formed with a focus on Soviet tanks, has not strayed from the western end of the Eurasian continent in over 70 years of expansion. From Iceland to Turkey, from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, all member countries are adjacent to the North Atlantic or the European continent.
Mongolia is deep in Asia, 4,000 kilometers away from the nearest NATO member, Turkey, separated by the entirety of Central Asia. The collective defense clause of NATO states clearly: if a member country is attacked, others must send troops.
But if Mongolia were to be "dealt with" by China and Russia, how would NATO troops get there? Land routes would require traversing Chinese and Russian territory, aerial transport would need to pass through Chinese and Russian airspace, and maritime transport would have to go through ports controlled by China and Russia—this would mean NATO directly going to war with China and Russia.
The United States may want to contain China, but it wouldn't be foolish enough to jeopardize its military alliance system for Mongolia.
Let's not forget, Ukraine has been able to fight for two years because countries like Poland border it directly, allowing weapons and ammunition to be transported overnight. Does Mongolia have such conditions? As long as China and Russia set up barbed wire at the border, NATO's military aid wouldn't even touch Mongolia's borders.
Mongolia isn't foolish either. This landlocked country with a population of 3.3 million has its economic lifeline in the hands of China and Russia. By 2024, trade between China and Mongolia will account for 68% of Mongolia's total foreign trade, and Russian oil and gas will make up 90% of Mongolia's energy imports.
Mongolia's only railway network connects to Erenhot in China on one end and Ulan-Ude in Russia on the other. The recently signed Ganqimaodu cross-border railway is Mongolia's first new port railway in half a century, and it is entirely funded by Chinese investment.
If it were to truly lean towards NATO, China and Russia could easily cut off energy supplies, leaving half the people in Ulaanbaatar freezing to death in winter; if the border ports were blocked, Mongolia's copper ore and coal couldn't be exported, leading to an immediate economic collapse.
Looking at Mongolia's diplomatic white paper, the "multi-polar" policy has been called for thirty years, but the "poles" are all in the hands of China and Russia—joint military exercises between China, Russia, and Mongolia in 2025, the Siberian Force No. 2 gas pipeline, which of these tangible cooperation projects involves NATO?
More critically, China's and Russia's positioning of Mongolia has never changed. From the Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union, and now to present-day Russia, Mongolia has always been a "buffer zone" between China and Russia. This positioning is not established by treaties but by historical inertia forged by bayonets.
In 1945, the Soviet Union forced the Nationalist government to recognize Mongolia's independence, with the fundamental purpose of wedging a strategic buffer zone between China and Russia; China later accepted Mongolia's status based on considerations of geopolitical stability.
Now, if Mongolia wants to break this balance, China and Russia won't give it time for a "gradual transition." Referencing the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO spent eight years arming Ukraine; does Mongolia have those eight years?
China's and Russia's joint border defense exercises have already reached Mongolia's borders. If there is any wind of change, a "physical blockade" could be realized overnight. Mongolia's army has fewer than 20,000 troops, and its tanks are Soviet-era T-55s from the 1980s; how can it compete with China and Russia?
NATO isn't foolish either. Looking at their "global partner countries" list, Mongolia stands alongside Japan and South Korea, but cooperation is limited to areas such as counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. NATO's Secretary-General publicly said last year: "Our focus is on the Europe-Atlantic region." Why? Because Mongolia has no value to NATO's security interests.
Ukraine can at least act as Russia's "meat grinder," but Mongolia isn't even close to the border with China and Russia. Even if the United States wanted to create an "Asian NATO," it would choose countries with coastlines like Japan and the Philippines, not Mongolia, which is landlocked.
Moreover, NATO requires unanimous consent to accept new member states. Countries like Turkey and Hungary, which have energy cooperation with China and Russia, would veto it first—who would want to offend two nuclear powers for Mongolia?
Finally, let's talk about Mongolian public opinion. Don't be fooled by the young people on the streets of Ulaanbaatar waving NATO flags and chanting slogans; when it comes to life-and-death situations, herders are more concerned about whether Chinese trucks are coming to collect wool and whether Russian diesel engines are available to power generators.
A poll conducted in 2025 showed that 68% of Mongolians believe "friendship with China and Russia is fundamental to national survival." The Mongolian government has not been without attempts at a "third neighbor" policy, having conducted "Khaan Quest" military exercises with the United States and sought aid from Japan, but each time they strayed slightly, diplomatic notes from China and Russia arrived immediately.
In 2019, when Mongolia sought to allow U.S. military transport planes to transit, it was dropped the very next day after a joint warning from China and Russia.
Therefore, the notion of Mongolia joining NATO is a geopolitical fantasy from start to finish. The 12 hours from 8 AM to 8 PM isn't travel time; it's the preparation time for China and Russia to complete border blockades.
If it comes to that point, Mongolia won't become Ukraine; instead, it will revert to a state before 1945—becoming a de facto buffer zone jointly managed by China and Russia. This outcome is a gamble NATO wouldn't dare take, and Mongolia wouldn't dare try. After all, surviving in the cracks between great powers means maintaining neutrality isn't a choice; it's the only option for survival.

It's so complicated, brothers. The little rich lady from Dubai, who is in her 90s, won't let Sam go and wants me to stay here in Dubai to accompany her. But today I just found out that this little rich lady has a son. Until now, I still don't know if she has been married or how much money she actually has; I only know that she really seems wealthy on the surface. But I'm not here to bow and scrape for money; I have the ability to earn my own.
In the past, when I met girls, if they liked you, they wouldn't be this proactive. This little rich lady is just too proactive. She gives money, emotional value, and makes me feel like I'm living in a dream every day. But I always feel something is off, and I lack a sense of security. Actually, sometimes when I see beautiful women, I do get excited, but as for whether to be with her or if we can get along for the long term, I tend to be more cautious. Moreover, I am a person who maintains integrity; it's not like what you all say about being open to anyone who comes along, just doing whatever when you encounter someone. That will only drain your energy. A person's life for doing that kind of thing is limited, you know? Once you pass thirty-five, such things can actually be optional. So, young people, strive to improve yourselves; opportunities won't just fall from the sky, and being down-to-earth is the hard truth.
This is not something that can be resolved by writing documents and stamping them in a meeting; it has to be settled on the battlefield. Disputes of this level can only confirm the saying: What cannot be obtained on the battlefield, should not be thought of at the negotiating table.

European countries have formed a decisive document regarding their stance and attitude on the Ukraine issue. The previous 28 points seem like a joke, not knowing whose face they slapped.

A regular person's sharing Today I bid farewell to my girlfriend of more than 3 years. Due to many reasons, we can no longer be together. I am also grateful that at the best age, she was willing to cross over 2000 kilometers to be with me. We are college alumni, and over the past three years, she has cooked many delicious meals for me. I am very happy and joyful. I understand that perhaps I will not find someone who likes me this much again. The greatest love might be the initial knowledge that it was impossible yet still doing it. Betting everything on something that likely has no outcome. No matter the emotions, in the end, I still hope she will be happy and carefree in the future, and that everything will be well. $BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT)
Actually, it is a statue of Da Yu, which has been changed to a Buddha 😴

#China Grotto Corridor - Leshan Giant Buddha The Leshan Giant Buddha is located at the confluence of the Minjiang, Qinyijiang, and Dadu Rivers in Leshan, Sichuan Province. It was carved during the Tang Dynasty between the Kaiyuan and Zhenyuan years (AD 713—803), taking about ninety years to complete. It is the largest existing outdoor rock-carved statue in the world, depicting a seated Maitreya Buddha with a total height of 71 meters, a head height of 14.7 meters, a head width of 10 meters, with as many as 1051 hair buns, ears measuring 7 meters in length, and a foot surface large enough to accommodate over one hundred people.
Isn't this the legendary 28 big bar? It turns out that CZ Zhao Changpeng also rode a bicycle like this when he was a child. This is true because I really saw someone riding like this when I was young.😅😅😅 $BNB $SOL $DOGE
