    Russia is still an extreme pariah

    Russia is still an extreme pariah only if you get your information from imperial core media. Russia just hosted the BRICS summit a few weeks ago, and everyone showed up. The Global South generally doesn’t have issue with Russia, and unlike the imperial core, they aren’t sanctioning it.

    Also in my opinion if China either dropped support of Russia or supported a coup/revolution to depose Putin

    I have no reason to think China has any interest in deposing Putin. I think you’re just making things up in our head. You may be projecting imperialist thinking onto ant-imperialist China.

    a highly unpredictable government like Putins

    The Russian government is not unpredictable. Where are you even getting this from? And neither is Putin an unhinged dictator with limitless powers. He’s quite rational, and he’s about as answerable to the Russian bourgeoisie as Biden is to the American bourgeoisie.

    that may just be down to personality quirks of Xi.

    This sounds like great man theory, which liberals often subscribe to, but Marxists don’t.
