"There is an increasing realization that if China made a move against Taiwan, Chinese President Xi Jinping "would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Rutte has previously branded Putin the Chinese president's subordinate.
Xi would tell the Kremlin leader that Russia needs to "keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territory," Rutte told The New York Times.
"That is most likely the way this will progress." he added."

I still think that Xi, Vlad, and their Orange Pekinese in the US have divvied up the World between themselves... which explains Trump's desires on Canada and Greenland. Not to mention Panama, Cuba, most of Central America.
Vlad gets Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, Finland, etc. Xi gets Taiwan, various islands and nations in the Indo-China waters. Hawaii, if he wants it; DJT will give him that Blue State.
