Familiar pattern developing in Africa:
Chad has asked Russia for help in dealing with a terrorism threat in the country.

People imagine Biden needed Russia's permission to go to Kiev. That's ridiculous.
Reality is via back channels US rightly wanted to ensure Russia was aware incase they were to inadvertently kill Biden which Russia would seek to avoid at all costs.

There was never going to be fireworks wrt to Putin's annual address and the Ukraine war. Anyone who has any real grasp of Russia already understood this.

China's message to Russia was that Moscow and Beijing need to synchronise their watches.
The number of train derailments, factories and warehouses catching fire in the US in such a short period of time looks suspicious. The important part is to not jump to conclusions.
Europeans still don't appear to have grasped that even IF Europe does manage to successfully rotate away from Russian energy in terms of quantity of supply, it will be paying a much higher price. What do they imagine that means in terms of the economic impact and on themselves?
