(Worthy News) – Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping met in far-eastern Russia on Tuesday, the same day the Kremlin began its biggest military exercise since the Cold War.

They are also partnering up in the wake of the U.S. trade war. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
