Could you imagine if Putin or Xi had a drug addled, sex worker-addicted son who they kept consulting for policy? There'd be a trillion Atlantic and NYT think pieces lining up to attribute that shit to Oriental Despotism or the Asiatic Brainpan or some shit.

This whole thing really is like court intrigues of a feudal court of a declining empire.

We'll get long articles written from a first person perspective as the reporter imagines themselves walking into the sex and opium den inside Xi's "forbidden city" where only a handful of the most loyal and fanatic few ever are allowed in.. All from an unverifiable anonymous source of course.

The source is the same one that personally witnessed Kim Jong Un executing his uncle with an artillery round. They also saw Putin push a guy out of a window. They also also saw the Trump pee tape.

They would be writing about such a son like he's Uday or Qusay

I'd respect Putin or Xi even more if they did this.
