You're turning into a right sceptic Poolie, surely even murderous despots must have heart somewhere secreted on their person, even if it's located where the sun don't shine.

Xi met with Putin at the opening of the Olympics on February 4 in Beijing, which resulted in a joint declaration declaring a “no limits” partnership between the two countries, pledging to join forces against the West and usher in a new era of true “democracy.”

One would assume the whole world understood exactly what that meeting meant. However given todays dumbed down masses, you have to point out the obvious, repeatedly, before it penetrates dimly lit craniums.

Yeah and the special Olympics athletes all get shafted and discriminated against as Putin and XI did not even consider their Olympics to be Olympics. These 2 self-imposed leaders need to be put on a one way ticket to Mars with only 30 days rations. Wonder who would eat whom first just to survive the longest? Or maybe they would hug each other laying down as they both passed away from slitting each others arteries. How fitting and romantic for these 2 turds.

If you read the article you will see it’s not claimed to come from the US. It’s from a European source. Even the Biden office being attributed said they got it from a western source (clearly not themselves). Of course don’t let that stop you from a good anti US dig.

So what do you think Poolie?

He’s all about “ western media” this and “Biden”that.  Satellite pictures provided clear analytical military intelligence, made public by NATO country Defense Ministers for many weeks before 24 Feb, that Russian military dispositions on Ukraine borders could ONLY mean Imminent  Invasion.

Some commentators on the BBC UK had been saying the Russians were waiting until after the end of the games before invading, that was stated continually a few weeks ago.
