Russia can just use those rupees to pay for Indian labor. They can hire factories to make whichever goods they need and export them back to Russia. The problem is the Indians aren't making this easy either. For example the Russians tried to setup a deal to assemble Indian cars in Russia with Tata, but the instant the Indian managers they were talking with spoke with the board of directors, the deal was off. Turns out the board of directors at Tata Motors was packed with British people following their acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover.
So they basically are leaving the Russian car market to Chinese companies.

Russia also had issues when they talked with some companies in China like BYD. Probably because they have foreign investors and want to sell cars to the West they wouldn't send cars to Russia. Russia also tried to import Volvo cars from Geely, but the Swedish managers were against it. They do sell regular Geely branded cars in Russia just fine though.
JLR as brand has no prospect in Russia and Russian do give opportunity to every one as courtesy but it does not mean they are serious you can clearly see how long simplified vehicles from Iran need time to pass vehicle certification in Russia.
Russia market should closely mirror Mideastern auto markets for imported vehicles. this assured supply of parts and vehicles life cycle costs are competitive and this clearly reflected in used car market where Japanese and Koreans are many times more than new despite sanction hinderance. than there is culture factor of the area. just Yesterday Putin in Rostov in LC200 Heritage edition

US Nuclear Test Raises Concerns of New Arms Race With Russia​

  • Department of Energy detonated explosion at Nevada test site
  • Arms control experts say steps needed to prevent escalation




WTF? The nuclear tests are back on? No wonder the US rushed to release that nuclear test report. Turns out Oppenheimer was just used to assuage public opinion about nuclear tests.

Good thing I already bought my Geiger counters, I'm expecting US, Russia, China, NK and India to do more nuclear tests now.
Has this been confirmed to be a nuclear test?

I’m, thoroughly, enjoying the show as Trump’s thugs threaten fellow-Repugnicunts and his lawyers make a mockery of the U. S. “Just Us” system!
I, truly, hope that he can complete the perversion of this system and get re-elected; the ensuing chaos would make my whole-life having been worth living!

They could have waited till Russia actually conducts a test before conducting their own and farm the diplomatic points for at least appearing to act like the adult in the room, but to conduct a test the next moment after Russia revoked the test ban treaty not only makes them the escalatory party, but also to appear childish and insecure as well.

Russia didn't even revoke the test ban treaty yet. It was going to be voted by the Duma next week. The US never even bothered to ratify it.
All three major nuclear powers (US, Russia, China) have been revamping their nuclear test sites recently. Russia expected the US to conduct a test eventually that is why they decided to revoke the treaty.

De-dollarization in Russia-China trade almost complete – minister​

The share of ruble and yuan settlements in Russia’s foreign trade has surged to almost 70% as Moscow rapidly shifts away from Western currencies, Economic Development Minister Maksim Reshetnikov said on Friday.

The de-dollarization of Russian trade with China is almost complete, the minister told reporters on the sidelines of the Russia-China Energy Business Forum in Beijing.

“Our trade is restructuring. If we look at the country’s trade indicators as a whole, 68% of our trade is carried out in rubles and yuan, while 95% our trade with China is settled in rubles and yuan. The issue of channels [for payments] has been solved,” Reshetnikov stated.

Recent data from the Economic Development Ministry shows that the yuan overtook the dollar in Russia’s import settlements with China in 2022. The Chinese currency has since been used in Russian trade with Mongolia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Japan, Tajikistan, and Singapore.
“Our trade is restructuring. If we look at the country’s trade indicators as a whole, 68% of our trade is carried out in rubles and yuan, while 95% our trade with China is settled in rubles and yuan. The issue of channels [for payments] has been solved,” Reshetnikov stated.

Article says the Japanese has been using Yuan to lmao.
