Yes, I agree and I support Russia in this too, and the Russophiles weird the shxt out of me too. Somehow, the concept of nation-state and sovereign integrity doesn't matter if Russia does it because "US BAD" and Ukraine is a 'US-coup puppet'. Quite frankly, that level of double-standard is what I expect from US and her allies, not from China. We can support Russia against NATO expansionism on peaceful terms without condoning Russian imperialism against Ukraine. Otherwise, diplomacy is nothing more than "Might makes Right" going back to 19th century-style spheres of influence and how badly was China screwed in that era? (e.g., Century of Humiliation) Also, Russia wants to keep Ukraine it's orbit/influence, it needs more than just a 'large stick', it needs 'carrots' too.
We had the same (intense) debate some pages back. Overall, Russia has to to use military means because its influence is waning. And the reason why, is that its economy is stagnating.
They didn't reform and now they are paying the price.

As usual, when you have a EU next door, the choice is pretty obvious. Nobody is going to choose Russia over the EU. EU is far more attractive to the common people.

Anyway, in my opinion, Russia is in relative decline. I like Russia but it is what it is. Ukraine should also respect a great power next to it. They haven't (for the past 2 decades) and as a result they will most likely pay the price for it.

Far too many idiots have management positions in these hi-tech companies.

We should Gulag them for 1-2 years in order to correct their wrong beliefs. Send them to Uncle Putin in Siberia to rough them up
Let's not pollute Russia or China.

Send these US huggies on a one way no return flight to USA. Then add a complimentary bus ticket to that San Fran or LA homeless encampment like they do nowadays to homeless people.

The chef explained that the Palestinians thought that the Chinese dishes were mainly based on insects, cockroaches and killed animals like monkeys, donkeys, dogs, and others. The reality is entirely different, he said.

"I found that Chinese food is very nutritional and is also very balanced and provides everything your body and metabolism needs," he added.


The fuck?

Is there statistical evidence of common people choosing one over the other? Russia does not have shortage of attracting the best. but definition of best different.
if Russia does not save Germany now. than German industrial production will collapse. and this will have direct impact on global energy and food production. Germany has closed down three reactors and french are unreliable. see the earlier link of Gazprom doubling compressor turbine orders. this things are beyond capacity of very industrialized countries to do it alone.

Russia has very deep understanding of Asian governments despite EU doing more trade with Asia. Russia has the largest and most advance shipyard JV with Koreans. They built permanent Chinese type field hospital when Covid outbreak happen from the start. when no one paid attention. Russian worked on Ebola and MERS that desert color truck with Russian and Italian flags will give you clue as Italy was first to hit by Covid and they had to accept Russian military field staff on Italian streets.
