Re: Russian Gas ban - A problem for Europe or suicide for Russia?

OK.. for the first time I can agree with all of your points. The last point is quite important. Even if Russian uses tactical nukes, it will not result in Russia winning the war. Ukraine has more than one million soldiers in active duty right now and they are well distributed across the 1,300 km long frontline. Using one or two tactical weapons to destroy concentrations of Ukrainian troops will not have an impact of the Ukrainian Armed forces to continue fighting. So in the end, for Russia it will cause more harm compared to good since their remaining allies will desert them.

There is a surprise visit of President Biden to Ukarine 3 days back just to show solidarity. US president visiting Kyiv is an indication that it's a safe city. While Chinese foreign minister is meeting Russian president in Moscow. When two big powers are standing opposite to each other, there is a rare chance of cease fire. One year of conflict is about to complete and still we have no clue when this will end.

US is accelerating the war and China is also trying to gain benefit because they want to get oil and gas from Russia. Putin meets china top diplomat in Moscow
US warn china may supply weapon

Russia may not need military support as much as it needs economic support to face Western sanctions. It is not easy for Russia to stop energy supplies to Europe without having friends to support it. These friends are mainly China and India. Of course, these friends buy Russian gas for less than half of its price, thus boosting their energy reserves. China is benefiting from this war without being a party to the military confrontation, whether through participation or supply. Russia could not have withstood this war (against America and its allies on Ukrainian soil) without China's support.

I wont say anything special about India, except for the facts of strong friendship with Russia:
using the deplorable state of Russia, we decided to take advantage of this and collect the last "skins" from the fake Colossus

at the same time, they unilaterally terminated all contracts for both the joint development and the purchase of Russian "unparalleled" fake iron

But China is more pragmatic. He also uses Russia "up and down" for his own benefit, and also forces Russia to sell gas and oil 2 times lower than the market. But China needs Russia precisely in an extremely weakened, but "alive" state.
Firstly, Russia for China is a guinea pig. Secondly, for China, Russia is a servant in international institutions, and will carry out all Beijing's orders. Thirdly, part of the Far East of Russia has already been assimilated by the Chinese, and the vast territories of Putin, under the guise of a lease, have in fact handed over to China for perpetual use. The necessary resources from Russia, China receives for a penny! And Russia executes this order without delay, because. China for Russia today is a sovereign! And China needs all these lands, and future executors of the will of Beijing. If Russia totally loses, it will be divided into a dozen independent states, which is not beneficial to China .. Not beneficial because only Muscovy will remain in its power, which will be in debt for 500 years ahead, in the form of reparations to all affected countries, from its policy ... And at the same time, she will not have any resources, because. oil, gas, diamonds and others will go to independent republics such as the Republic of Sakha, the Siberian People's Republic, etc.

If you read "China's peace plan", then after the first proposals, it is veiledly written there - do not let Ukraine destroy Russia, China also has the right to occupy other territories (Taiwan), no more military-political alliances are needed - because China will not withstand such as Russia...
