Putin and Xi oversaw the signing of more than 40 cooperation agreements in areas such as trade, technology and media exchanges. They stressed their growing trade, particularly in oil and natural gas, and declared themselves aligned on international relations.

The countries’ ties have reached “the highest level in history,” Xi said after the signing ceremony, speaking to members of the delegations and journalists. The two sides also agreed to extend a friendship treaty first signed in 2001.

Putin told those in the room that “the driving force behind economic cooperation is Russian-Chinese collaboration in the energy sector.”

We can hardly believe what has happened.  The snow-globe has been turned upside down and it’s raining blessings.  Putin says Trump is in danger of assassination.  But they missed their opportunity, and maybe it’s too late.  Trump’s picks to head agencies have already been announced. Sometimes the ones who will head the agencies have been persecuted by them.  What we’ll find out in the coming weeks and months is anybody’s guess.  I’m guessing corruption.

Can you imagine the panic?  Especially by those who have abused some position to enrich themselves?   Look how everyone’s gone quiet!  There’s nothing left to say.  We won, they lost.  They’ve been calling Trump “Hitler,” now they’re coming to call at Mar-a -Lago, just so there won’t be any hard feelings.  Even Joe and Mika saw fit to pay a visit, as did Mark Zuckerberg.  Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall?  We’ll never know if they’ve rehabilitated themselves or if they’re just trying to make nice after all the things they’ve said and the disgust they’ve shown.  

We can hardly believe that all the woke nonsense will soon be a memory.  They’ve been spoon-feeding us this garbage for nearly 40 years!  Hard to believe it’s been that long, but it has.  We’ve been living with a corrupt media and (we’ll find out) corruption in government, with the understanding that there’s nothing that can be done.  Thanks to tenacity, something can be done and will be done, unless the guy in the beach chair starts WWIII.  Even then, it would be better to have somebody like Trump on our side.

He’s bringing in geniuses to fix the government.  How good can the news get?  We can hardly wrap our minds around what is coming.  We’ve been surprised before, but nothing like what is coming.  All the celebrities who’ve said they’ll leave the country better be going this time.  I think we’re in for blessings we can’t even imagine, unless…

Unless Joe manages to start something huge before inauguration day.  The general consensus is that he wanted Kamala to lose.  He may have dementia, but there’s no hiding the smile he had on his face post election.   Relations may not have been all that good, but how could they be?  Both of them were ruining everything they touched.  The war in Ukraine has been a colossal waste, especially from our point of view.  Maybe Joe ought to stop giving missiles to Ukraine before something bad happens.  

Hezbollah and the terrorists are suing for peace!  All they can do is fire a rocket from some hiding spot and hope to escape before Israel takes them to the grave.  Winning the war is not enough anymore, as we’ve seen.  They never stop.  They haven’t stopped showing their anger and waving their fists since Biblical times.  They always talk tough, even in defeat.  We’d hate to remind them how many times they’ve let their emotions run beyond their capabilities.  Some of us remember.  

We’ve just experienced perhaps the most meaningful Thanksgiving ever.  May we never stop giving thanks.

“Our trade relations are developing, developing successfully … The attention that the governments of the two countries on both sides are paying to trade and economic ties is yielding results,” Putin said at the meeting in the Kremlin.

He also said that Russia and China have developed “large-scale plans” for economic and other projects.

“Chinese-Russian relations are at an unprecedentedly high level,” said Li, who earlier had met with his Russian counterpart, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
