#TradeOfTheWeek #CryptoComeback #BTCBackto100K Best friends Xi and Putin are plotting against Trump, and it’s scaring him

Xi Jinping arrived in Russia this week and wasted no time locking arms with Vladimir Putin like it was some political prom night.

The four-day visit included military parades, joint statements, red carpets, and a clear message to the United States—Trump’s not in control of this alliance, and they’re not afraid to show it. 

Xi didn’t come alone either. Nearly 30 other world leaders flew in for the occasion, but it was his presence that gave Putin what he wanted—proof that Russia still had friends while the US tries to box him in.

Xi stepped off the plane and got right to business, standing next to Putin in one of the Kremlin’s flashiest halls. The two didn’t just exchange pleasantries—they revived the “no-limits” partnership they had first declared in 2022, just before Russia invaded Ukraine. 

They both claimed the world needs a new balance of power, one that doesn’t put America on top. Putin called their relationship “equal and mutually beneficial” and said it wasn’t tied to current world affairs. Xi called Putin an “old friend” and described their ties as “confident, stable and resilient.”

Putin uses parade to push global support

During the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Putin leaned hard into symbolism. Standing with Xi, he praised the “sacred” victory over Nazi Germany, saying the win still matters today. He made the usual stretch, linking that historical fight to his current war in Ukraine, which he keeps trying to sell as a battle against modern fascists. 

“Together with our Chinese friends, we firmly stand guard over historical truth,” Putin said, “protect the memory of the events of the war years, and counteract modern manifestations of neo-Nazism and militarism.”

That narrative’s been rejected flat-out by Ukraine and much of the West, who say Putin is using fake justifications for an invasion. Still, the Victory Day parade rolled on.
