Putin and Xi: Who Really Holds the Power?

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping present their relationship as a strategic alliance aimed at countering the West. But behind the smiles, handshakes, and joint statements lies a far more transactional — and asymmetric — reality. In this video, I break down the true power relationship between Moscow and Beijing. We’ll look at how this partnership evolved from the Cold War to today, why China benefits disproportionately from Russia’s war in Ukraine, and how Russia’s economic, military, and diplomatic leverage continues to shrink. We’ll also examine Trump’s potential “Reverse Nixon” strategy, NATO’s role in accelerating Russian miscalculations, and why Moscow is increasingly dependent on Beijing — whether it likes it or not. This isn’t about ideology. It’s about leverage, dependence, and who actually calls the shots. ⏱️ Video Chapters 0:00 – The Xi–Putin Connection: A Shared Vision? 1:12 – “Marriage Without Love”: The Russo-Chinese Partnership 2:08 – Shifting Power Dynamics: From the Cold War to Today 3:45 – The Transactional Nature of the Alliance 4:36 – Trump’s Potential “Reverse Nixon” Strategy 5:15 – Russia as China’s “Discount Gas Station” 6:40 – Strategic Benefits of the Ukraine War for China 7:22 – Economic and Social Costs for Russia 8:18 – NATO Expansion and Russia’s Strategic Miscalculations 8:52 – The Limits of Military Cooperation 10:11 – Future Outlook: Russia’s Growing Dependence on Beijing 10:48 – A Surprising New Dating Trend in China #Russia #China #Putin #Xi #Geopolitics #Ukraine #NATO #GreatPowerPolitics Facts over noise.
