The Chinese run the Kremlin now?
On another note is there a missing Chines sub or submersible drone?
It'll be interesting if a Chinese, North Korean or Russian sub has been damaged or gone missing. Has there been a release of radiation? Keep ducking 🙈
Rumor has it they were snooping a chinese nuke boat and they collided.
Ran into a Great Wall with a stop sign.
Could have been worse. Chinese demanding details? Good luck. Nobody shares the data unless they are spies.
Gas lighting from the Chinese who have a long and proud history of ramming ships
