Not a controversial stance for an European nation but the joint statement is interesting. Could this be a part of a deal for China to flip on Russia. Does China choose to stay with an ideological reactionary ally or move towards collaborations

The headline is a bit misleading. The article elaborates some, for example:
In other remarks, Crosetto said that if Russian troops were to occupy Kyiv, it would "inevitably lead to a clash with other nations, which would not accept Russian tanks on their borders."
European nations have been voicing the need of peace from the beginning, it's just that the negotiating third parties can't get Russia to participate in a dialogue. Which leads to desperate stuff like France asking for China to do their part (desperate because they'd need some unlikely deal incentive to flip).
They kinda pretend to play both sides, kinda not. Left hand says peace talks (without action and on Russia's terms), right hand helps Russia with resources.
Maybe it's like a "takes one to know one" situation, as both the USA and China meddle in the Middle-East and Africa with an infantilizing attitude.
Good ideas. Blocking actually only hides content from the user, it doesn't lead to admin action.
I've joined this instance because of the rules and the communist lean

Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
However it's clear that the worldnews modding rotten. Fascist/xenophobic/antisemite users have their posts alive while those who call them out get hidden or even banned.
As it is the main news community of the instance, I understand how it can be seen as an instance issue instead of user preference to use some smaller community.
Is this meant to be to some other thread? I don't think anyone mentioned lynchings but yeah they lynch us, we know, I know. If you create a side against there, the side is the black lynching despicable settler overseer side.
The oligarchs really push the division agenda, but it's only artificial and doesn't stand inspection
I'm sorry you see me as an enemy and act reactively. I see we the people as one and am not related to the image you need to attack.
Edit: and after all the compassion that horrible projection of a reply is what we see
I was thinking of that situation as well, and I remember there was some foul play around that plan. The gist might have been that the Russian envoy did appear at the location but wouldn't negotiate. Time will tell if we ever find out the truth.
