There's a reason I'm not a diplomat. If I had been presented with what Mr. Wang was presented with by our chief amateur in the SoS office, I would have told him to shove it up his ass. Mr. Wang, on the other hand, politely and circumspectly told him we're going to do whatever the hell we want and whatever the hell you want is of little or no import to us.

I think you misread the whole thing with the "canceling" of Blinkin's trip to China. The US had proposed a trip to China and I'm sure that they felt that China would have to support such a trip. They opposed it and, as of the cancellation, had not accepted this trip. I think that Blinkin's relief was from the potentially really awkward situation of showing up when/where you're not wanted.

I maintain my assessment that Russia will retake all of the territory that voted to rejoin the RF and then they'll stop. The regime in Kiev doesn't seem to realize that if you've pissed a population off, they aren't going to go along with you esp. if they've got a big brother who's saying you don't have to.

I don't thing that the NATO pukes will have any clue how to deal with that eventuality.
