Russian strikes in Ukraine kill 10 civilians, wound 20 more

12. Like a frog in boiling water

I think that is why for me, I think China is playing Russia right now, even though the Russian government doesn't know it. China is not stupid, they probably have more influence than Russia is willing to admit. Honestly, if I had to pick between Russia and China in regards to who is the center of influence, it is probably China. Sure, countries like India and others who don't like China will say otherwise, but I don't think Russia is as strong as it thinks that it is, even before Crimea and the Ukraine invasion. Russia doesn't even do its space program in Russia, it's in Kazakhstan.
