Have the Westies threatened Belarus with the same level of sanctions they’ve hit Russia with?

Whether 35% or 40%, the divergence isn't great.
European importation of Russian gas can be also be done through LNG, whether contracted or on the spot market.
It's going to vary from month to month because of commodity trading.
Yeah I think EU said they would sanction Belarus equally for facilitating Russian logistics.

@reservior dogs And they had the nerve to call Russia savage while They destroy a country. This kind of propaganda is why Russia is winning the information war, people judge you by your action and the Americans are a major violator of human rights. Putting a lipstick on a pig doesn't hide the stink!
People who are talking bs about how great or normal life in Russia is going to be after this invasion are simply retarded, sorry for the foul language. I will gladly exchange places with people who really think that way but I am pretty sure you will rather keep living in China, US, UK or whatever country you reside in rather than move in to Russia, right? You don't want to bear the consequences because you deep down understand that behind all the bravado the blow to Russian economy is going to be devastating.
We are going to see rouble crashing down further, banking system crumbling, full tech embargo, trade evaporating, and political isolation - QoL will drop drastically. There was nothing genius about Putin's move, it was pure desperation and the result of Russia not having enough clout to solve the problems otherwise. Stop sucking his cock for a moment, and look at situation objectively - he sacrificed average citizen for geopolitical objectives, that's it. Whether you consider these geopolitical goals worthy enough is up to you.

Indeed. That is strange because Russia was open to buying Mistral-class LHDs from France. During the bidding stage, Russia initially favoured the Dokdo-class LHDs from South Korea. Its only because France offered transfer of technology and assembly of 2 more Mistral-class in Russia that won them the deal. What happened next is bitter history. Nevertheless, Russia was open to Chinese high-tech imports in the commercial field, so its not really a racism thing. I think its just plain old lobbying from the Russian MIC.
Russia should have just imported from China 'Russian spec' versions of the Wing Loong II. Get CAIG to JV with a local manufacturer, and then include transfer of technology. China would have been very much fine with that kind of deal. Russia would have gotten a proper MALE UCAV now, and more importantly, get the technology to produce such drones. In the future, they could just have easily made their own indigenous MALE UCAVs. This why excessive trade protectionism is bad. In Russia's case, its costing them quite a lot, in their war against Ukraine.
No wonder Germany was looking to donate helmets. It actually makes sense. Why do so many of the Ukrainians not wear one...
Lol @Hendrik_2000 is Singaporean.
Singaporeans talk every day about 'non-interference', but close both eyes when Australian and America military aircraft take off everyday from Singapore airports to survey and harass China.
Disappointing.
Is this non-interference?
