So you think China is going to turns it’s back on 85% of the world’s GNP in Western Europe, North America, East Asia, and Australia/NZ to support a rapidly declining Russia?
China will remain neutral, purchase remaining resources from Russia on the cheap, exploit what they can, then dump Russia in a heart beat to focus on where the real money and opportunity exists.
Russia is so screwed. Educated Russians are leaving Russia in droves, knowing the poverty and totalitarian rule that lies ahead.
China and Russia reached a deal on Russian oil and gas just weeks before Russia went into Ukraine.
BLINKEN: If you look at the countries Russia attacked, these were countries that were not part of NATO RAND PAUL: You could also argue the countries they've attacked were part of Russia BLINKEN: I firmly disagree. It's the right of these countries to decide their future
Ukraine and other countries were never a part of Russia.
As I suspected early on... Ukraines military success has been assisted very nicely by real time US Intelligence. Including real time info on where bombs will hit!
Early in this war, the right wingers were fully triggered attacking Biden saying it was a huge failure for not assisting and getting US troops over to fight the fight. You see they have backed off on that now. No US lives at risk with this plan and a world power and enemy of the US is getting exposed as a subpar military. How about that?
Ukrainian forces have used specific coordinates shared by the U.S. to direct fire on Russian positions and aircraft, current and former officials tell NBC News.

Using google for one minute I found several nations that refuse to sanction Russia with a total population of @ 3.4 billion in 2020.
You are using 2022 estimate.
I will do same: Nations that will not sanction Russia and/or refused to condemn Russia's actions in the UN vote
China1.45 billion
India 1.41 billion
Russia .146 billion.
Mexico .131 billion
Brazil .215 billion
Bangladesh .168 billion
Pakistan 0.229 million
South Africa, Kenya, Iran, and many more.
Pretty safe to say at least 1/2 the world is not in on the sanctions/condemnation.
But instead of acknowledging the bigger picture and the actual point, you will focus on the fact that the 1st 3 nations listed are not 50% of the world's population.
That has been your game all along.
Avoid the pertinent, focus on the trivial.
I need a smarter tribute poster.
Goddam, this is an idiotic take on things. You guys are so childish and weird.
I wonder if the Russians have a world population scoreboard like this going in the War Room. Sure would explain a lot. "Put New Guinea in the Love column next to Mexico! Another 9 million hearts for Mother Russia! Drink!"
China's state refiners are honouring existing Russian oil contracts but avoiding new ones despite steep discounts, heeding Beijing's call for caution as western sanctions mount against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, six...

Yes.
It is idiotic to think the US can cripple Russia with sanctions

MOEX down 45% in the last 6 months. Seems like sanctions are having an affect.
When Russia drew up this war plan, and someone said, “China will support us, no matter what happens!” Everyone agreed.
These are the “geniuses” guiding Russia through this.
NATO is going to play the long game on this, letting Russia become weaker, poorer, and more isolated by the month. They will keep Ukraine afloat in this war for years if necessary. The sanctions will further isolate and impoverish Russia and it will turn into a big North Korea. Or the Russian people will tire of being poor and unable to leave Russia and revolt.

Maybe. But not as idiotic as the exercise you just went through adding up populations of countries of the world, putting them in one of two buckets based on meaningless criteria, and predicting/claiming victory for Russia based on your misguided tallies. THAT was de facto idiotic.

What do you think Russia’s end game is here?
No way Russia will ever be able to return to Kyviv, they will get totally destroyed if they try. All they can hope for is steal some land down south, that means they have lost this war, but did win a few battles. All Russia can do now is be happy they gained some land.
