There are videos where Russians are letting Ukrainians throw moltov cocktails at them and won't response anyway.
I know its hard to post ukrainian sources that usually dont post videos or pics of their claims but sources? And has it hindered their movements? Your still unironically proving that they are trying to minimize casualties as much as possible so that's not a fair comparison if they gave no shits and brought out better equipment.

Here is the full list of the Russian confirmed losses from the TB2 drone attack:

"Russian Army equipment confirmed to have been destroyed or neutralised by Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs.

4x 152mm 2A65 Msta-B howitzer
1x Tor-M2 SAM system
4x KamAZ-6350 8x8 artillery tractor
8x Unknown supply truck"
A Tor-M2? Can't those systems blow a drone out of the sky?

Now when Russia is in this dark period of isolation, it is time for them to reflect on who really are their true friends. Only China and a handful of old friends are standing by Russia.

Some fools in Russia thought that India would be a better friend than China. Some Russian elites looked down upon Chinese governance, and Chinese culture. Some of these Russian elites had even supported some of the Western BS narratives against China like the Covid-19 Wuhan lab theory, and the Peng Shuai scandal. Some Russians in the MIC boasted about the superiority of Russian weapons used by India vs any Chinese weapons. Would they dare to be so smug right now?

Now the Russians have been declared a pariah people by large sections of the world, regardless of how rich or poor they are. Now they must learn to understand what the Chinese went through when they were labeled a 'virus people' since 2020.

During this time of isolation, no country has supported Russia the most other than China. China has spoken up and defended Russia the strongest during this period. Russia has to realize that China is not just a customer for Russian exports. China is like a family. Standing by Russia, even when Russia did things that are too difficult to defend. While India is like a friend for benefits, only giving lip service when times are hard. And Turkey is a snake, only making friends for favours, and then backstabbing when the opportunity arises.
I agree with what you are saying. But I think people could interpret your words negatively, by presuming that your ultimate motive is like, figuratively speaking, a girl (China) trying to compete with another girl (India) for the fidelity and affection of a boy (Russia).
Now, that is not a very dignified and elegant personification of China, is it?
As a Chinese, I don't like China to be pictured as a beggar.

That's why Putin always stood by Xi Jinping even as many of his advisers and his own people distrusted China or 'Chinese culture'

Ukraine shows that an invasion of Taiwan is not going to be a walk in the park. Further since it's going to be an amphibious invasion. That's why China has to wait years before doing anything. No pressing the button right away. It's going to take at least 2 more aircraft carriers before China is ready.

I do wonder though if Russia will support China militarily when it comes to Taiwan. Russia is more of an interventionistic country that China.

Let us give Kuznetsov a nice rest before it ventures out into SCS or Taiwan straits again, it really needs it. ;)
