'Putin is crazy': China 'thinks Russia is going to fail in Ukraine and will emerge from the conflict a minor power'
Chinese officials have blasted Vladimir Putin as 'crazy' and claimed Beijing thinks Russia is going to fail in its war in Ukraine (right). Several Chinese officials warned Beijing must not 'simply follow Russia' and blindly support the war in Ukraine in a rare rebuke of Putin's barbaric invasion. The officials said they believe that Russia will fail to win the war in Ukraine - and the impact of such an expensive and deadly conflict will see Moscow emerge as a 'minor power' with a diminished economy and a poor standing on the world stage. The scathing comments from the Chinese officials, with some accusing Putin of being 'crazy', mark a significant turning point in the supposedly amicable relations between Russia and China - just a month after the two countries vowed to deepen their bilateral ties. It now appears that President Xi Jinping (left with Putin) may be doing his best - through his officials - to distance himself from Putin and his war, as the Chinese leader now focuses on improving his diplomatic relations with the West.

That is actually a good news, because it guarantees that Putin will not use nukes.
If Putin's is to use nukes, in the current context, China would actually turn against Russia in UN's Security Council and that can be the end of Russia as a fake super-power.
