India wanted to pay Russia in rupees, but Russia won't accept rupees. India then wants to pay Russia in USD, but Russia won't accept USD too. India probably wanted to pay Russia in rubles, but India might be short on rubles. But India still needs that cheap Russian oil to continue selling refined petroleum to the Europeans for a profit. So the great Superpowa India had no choice but use the currency of its enemy to buy that Russian oil.Didn't India say that it wouldn't use Yuan for paying Russia. Guess India isn't so tough after all.
Banning Barbie from cinemas is probably a healthy thing. But banning it over an SCS map that counters Vietnam's false SCS claims? Damn. So is Vietnam gonna boycott Barbie dolls next?Vietnam has banned Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated film from domestic distribution over a scene featuring a map that shows in the South China Sea, state media reported on Monday. (Warner Bros’, like CNN, is a unit of Warner Bros. Discovery.)
Maybe SCS is just an excuse, nobody wants to see that shitty film anyways.

The west have two months to back down, otherwise China's gonna play some big cards.
Good. It saves China the headache of seeing more DJI drones serving on the Ukrainian side. By the way, DJI drones are not weapons. China does not sell weapons to either side. Not officially.Kiev does not buy Chinese weapons in order to avoid irritating the US, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Vitaly Deinega has claimed. The official made the comments while discussing the importance of drones in modern warfare.
“As far as it was explained to me… we cannot buy anything Chinese so as not to hurt our relationship with the US,” Deinega told Ukrainian news outlet Leviy Bereg on Monday.
The official was discussing the use of Chinese-made DJI Mavic quadcopters by Ukrainian troops. Kiev’s forces have the aircraft “in large quantities” but rely on purchases by volunteers for supplies, because “there is the position that the Defense Ministry cannot procure them,”
Good. Go and buy those Western drones with more Western taxpayers' money.“Western drones will be more expensive than the drones of the ‘axis of evil’ – Russia, Iran and other similar nations. They will be more expensive, more technologically advanced and precise,” Deinega said.
