TFW the crude oil we frack gets shipped South to be refined and then sold back to us. TFW the fresh water in our lakes is being bottled up and sold to us. TFW our closest ally declares a trade war against us.
its a normal competitive business. without US buying Canadian subsidiaries there wont be much work.
Saudi makes you twist in wind for some politician talk. It does not make much to discover Canada worth.

In what firm are you a junior partner and don't need to follow the decisions of the senior partners?
International relations is not like a business/firm?

Junior partners can always switch firms once new opportunity presents itself, whereas vassals can't pick and choose their masters.

I mean if you look up the way feudalism works, vassals are pretty much the definition of junior partners to their liege.
Nice, so my boss is a Feudal Lord, and I am his vassal. You do understand I can quit my job at anytime, but vassals can't right? To the extent I have to follow my boss orders to make rent, I will, but I am free to quit at anytime I want. That's the difference between a junior partner and a vassal. One of imbalance of power vs. complete submission to authority/subordination.

So going by this official definition, we can say Russia is slowly evolving to becoming an economic junior partner of China, while in military and diplomatic sphere, Russia is still fully independent of China.
Russia still has trade surplus with China after taking the first economics blow of sanctions. if this second cold war continue over the years very similar sanctions will apply on China. can China maintain its economic relations with Russia when China is under prolong sanctions?
Russia is investing in its trade routes and manufacturing that will make it more suitable partner for Mideast.
Those sitting in Mideast knows how to play this coldwar out.

Hol' up a minute.

AMLO said the U.S. government’s destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines and the ongoing political persecution of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange...

The Mexican President is endorsing Seymour Hersh's story about the US blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines? Is this a first from a head of state?

We already know that Xi meeting with Putin is huge. But hey, the Chinese delegates eating KFC is much much much more important!!! Just like Xi's two teacups' power projection!!!

Oh so that's what the Guanqi people were talking about with KFC. Isn't KFC out of Russia now and replace with some local brand? How come they still got the bags with the colonel on them?
