if china can broker peace and help make things "right" they should be encouraged and applauded
i would be happy to see it or any progress

the challenge:
we already know (if we believe zelensky)
that putin/russia would have to give up its brutal medieval conquest
give back what is has stolen (included the people it has forcibly kidnapped)
compensate the victims and pay to rebuild the horrific destruction it has intentionally committed

that is probably a bitter pill for any megalomaniac to swallow

Even worse or better, depending on your POV, is that this along with US economic sanctions, will drive the world away from the Dollar as the prime international reserve currency.  When this happens, the US is toast.  The policies of our current administration seems to be doing all it can to undermine the dollar on purpose hastening this end.  Sanctions do not work as intended anymore. Not that they ever did much anyway. The work arounds are too easy.

I understand the need for partisan framing, but sanctions are pretty much a bipartisan/universal thing. Even for free market fetishists.

what this guy may not know is that mobius via franklin/temp has invested billions in china since the 80s
to suggest that he (either through frank/temp or mobius cap partners) isn't aware of the rules and regs is silly
he probably didn't read the article
