Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I really don't think this is correct. The US and China are at odds geopolitically, they have conflicting interests. Why would they join forces?
Same with Russia, at odds geopolitically - in constant proxy wars across the world.
And yet.. President Krasnov has repeatedly praised president Putin, given him favourable deals (abandoning the Kurds, pausing sanctions around Ukraine, removing sanctions imposed post-Crimea annexation, holding off on using very powerful financial sanctions available to directly squeeze Russia's plutocrats and Putin).
Not sure your theory that a country being at odds geopolitically means shit when Trump is president and the Republicans in the house and senate largely enable/encourage him.
I know it may seem like it, but the entire US is not completely at the whims of Trump. His orders require all sorts of buy-in. He needs to keep generals, police commissioners, mayors, senators, judges etc. at least somewhat aligned with him, at least enough not to actively push back against him.
I know it seems painful and difficult to believe, but the ruling class (billionaires, oil tycoons, aerospace companies, etc.) in the United States are firmly in favor of the US invasion of Venezuela. Trump would not be allowed to remain in power if he acted against the interests of the ruling class.
The United States is not a democracy. It has a year-round circus in the forms of elections, and keeps bread affordable enough, for now.
