  • Beijing definitely has the power to broker peace for Ukraine but I can’t imagine it’s in their best interest to see Russia take a huge loss. BRICS has seen gains in membership and interest from the war. Anything Xi suggests will likely be land forfeiture along current battle lines IMHO.

    I’m sure it’s still a blow to Putin’s public image for them to be meeting. Maybe with Russia in such a bad decline behind the scenes he is ecstatic to have some forceful diplomacy from their neighbors to the south.

    I do have empathy. It is a very steep hill. For some, seemingly vertical. I also care very much about people’s health (and my own). Your health is more important than the urge or habit. My point is mostly that if we had the ability to be in our future bodies to feel the effects we all know are coming, that hill would be horizontal.

    Fuck they don’t. Stop paying people to destroy your health! I stopped just like that. I take care of my father in laws who smoked until he was 75. Lost his leg due to poor circulation. Lost toes on second leg. Doctor was able to squeeze out circulation in one last hardening artery in his remaining leg. Told him if he didn’t quit he would lose that too. He stopped smoking the next day. Still has that leg. We use nitro patches to keep circulation going on his foot. If he gets a sore or cut it takes months to heal.

    Fuck smoking! Don’t trade your later days for today.
