A Chinese specialist on Russia has delivered a grim forecast for Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine: that it is doomed to fail.

Peking University professor Feng Yujun is also cooling on the future of Beijing-Moscow relations, writing in a recent op-ed in The Economist that the two nations have diverging visions of the future of global affairs.

That's what I figured and what I was trying to convey to them, but I'm used to being asked to be a search engine by people on social media. It may be different generations somewhat considering that I started googling before there was much of any social media platform or at least I wasn't using MySpace and stuff.
