Chinese leader Xi Jinping gave explicit signals that he was a friend and partner of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the weeks leading up to Moscow’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. Now, with the invasion bogged down amid stiff Ukrainian resistance and much of the world on edge over the conflict, Xi has backtracked somewhat and contradicted his earlier stance by endorsing the efforts of European heads of states to make peace.
That’s according to billionaire philanthropist George Soros, 91, who set forth his views on the crisis in an op-ed piece on March 11.
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24 was the beginning of a third world war that has the potential to destroy our civilization,” Soros wrote.
In his editorial, Soros contrasts Xi’s current stance with the extensive and cordial meeting between Xi and Putin on Feb. 4 on the opening day of the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The upshot of that meeting was the issuance of a 5,000-word text announcing a “no limits” partnership between Russia and China.
“The document is stronger than any treaty and must have required detailed negotiation in advance,” Soros stated, expressing his surprise that Xi could have been willing to grant such unconditional support for Russia’s designs on Ukraine, or, as Soros put it, “carte blanche” to invade and occupy the country.
Soros viewed this support as having emboldened Putin, a ruler who, as he approaches age 70, feels increasing pressure to make his mark on history, Soros states.
“Having obtained Xi’s backing, Putin set about realizing his life’s dream with incredible brutality,” wrote Soros.
More recent developments in Ukraine, where resistance to the invasion is fiercer and more determined than some expected, and support for Russia noticeably lower than Putin presumed, have prompted Xi to reassess his stance.
“Xi seems to have realized that Putin has gone rogue,” Soros observed.
On March 7, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the friendship between Russia and China was still “rock solid,” but then the next day Xi called French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to voice his support for their efforts to make peace and to advocate restraint, Soros noted. Since the invasion, both Macron and Scholz have spent many hours on the phone with Putin in an effort to work toward a resolution of the conflict.
“It is far from certain that Putin will accede to Xi’s wishes. We can only hope that Putin and Xi will be removed from power before they can destroy our civilization,” Soros concluded.
Earlier this year, Soros articulated his view that the year 2022 would be a “turning point” during which the world would pivot decisively either in the direction of openness and freedom or of dictatorship and repression. He pointed particularly to the Chinese Communist Party’s growing aggression on the world stage, coupled with domestic problems faced by the regime.

Typical joo. Sets up the conflict, loses control of it, then snivels about it.
Their reptilian overlords are smarter than ours. Drat!
Someone needs to shank this son of a bitch with a rusty screwdriver….
He’s trained his son to take over and continue the plan… now what??
Wowzer – sooo the Epoch Times has this wretch as a “philanthropist”. Amazing that he gets coverage…
Well, if anyone knows about destroying our civilization, it would be Soros.
Destroying Civilization, apparently, is modern day philanthropy.
I think a revision in Webster’s online dictionary is forthcoming.
philanthropy n 1. goodwill to fellow
menelites; esp: active effort to promote humanwelfaredestructionto be followed by
altruism n
unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of otherspersonal profit from philanthropy (see above)To make a long story short. Soros cannot support any dictator that doesn’t follow his NWO agenda.
Soros is more evil than Putin, Xi, and Biden combined. That’s all that needs to be said.
What’s this “our civilization” Soros is referring to?
Posted this on the other thread…
“before they destroy OUR civilization”
Its soros’ globalization and control hes talking about. Not civilization in the meaning you and I would think of it as being.
But we already know this… Theirs is demonic and their time is short…
Indeed. There’s no “me” in “our”…!
Yep, now soros is figuring out that the only thing More devious and backstabbing than he and his (((fellows))) are the red chinese…which his (((fellows))) set up, trained, paid, and made sure all of OUR technology, jobs and money was sent to them. SOME justice I reckon… 🙁
“Philanthropist” eh? Soros should be given a free trip to central Antarctica…
and this is where we’re getting our “news” from;
from this Hungarian Nazi?
May the Good Lord have pity upon us.
Soros, realizing his life’s dream is getting whacked.
2022 will be a year in which people turn toward nationalism and against globohomo totalitarianism. Soros is toast.

Who cares what this dupe of Satan has to say? At 91 he is close to receiving his eternal reward in hell.
Soros worried someone else beats him to destroying earth
