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

This is true, if we take into account the economic aspects, then China is completely benefiting from the Ukrainian war, despite the stagnation in which the global economy has entered since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis. But this may not be accurate, as we took into account that China needs a strong ally in the face of the threat of military confrontation with the West. We have seen how the United States rushed to fabricate crises in Taiwan with the aim of disrupting it from providing support to Russia.
It can be said that Russia would not stand in its war without supporting China, and China will not be able to withstand (militarily or in proxy wars) without a strong Russia ally.

China is in a difficult situation. Politically, they want to support Russia. Because they know that once Russia is destroyed by the NATO, then it is their turn next. However, economically China needs to maintain the strong trade relationship with EU and the US. If that is disrupted, then the Western bloc will use the opportunity to move the manufacturing hubs from China, to other countries such as India and Philippines. So China is now being forced to chose between long-term benefit and short-term benefit.

I love these "Kremlin fairy tales"

At first, we were told for 80 years that the West wants to take over the USSR, now China

Can you LOGICALLY, without focusing on fakes and painful fantasies, bring your point of view and prove that the USA / NATO want to destroy China?
Or maybe you really think that China wants to destroy the United States and, for example, the dollar?

I will disappoint you - it is China who wants to weaken Russia, its raw materials appendage, to the utmost, but not let it be destroyed. Because Russia is an appendage for him and a country that will fulfill any whims of China

And India also "uses" Russia to the fullest using its helplessness - it will buy oil for rupees (then Russia does not know where to put the rupees), then it forces the "friend" to sell oil for pennies.

But for the United States, China and even North Korea are NEEDED! Without them, there will be no trillion-dollar budgets for the military-industrial complex, there will be no money for other programs. There will be no supplier of cheap products to support the wallets of ordinary citizens ... And China is vital for the US and the dollar - China's export-oriented economy is based on large Western markets, and primarily the US. And China vitally needs TECHNOLOGIES, which no one will give them except for the West and for dollars! You just dont quite understand how the modern world really works, but you form some fabulous stories in your mind based on propaganda

You mention propaganda in every post but ironically, your own posts look like propaganda more. Perhaps you can't see it but it's obvious for the reader.

You see, there's NATO and as a military alliance always has to have an enemy or a potential enemy they're grouping against. Otherwise there's no point to form an alliance! In NATO case the enemies are Russia and China. NATO has already promised they're not going to expand further east but didn't keep their promise: they accepted the Baltic States, Turkey or whoever else... then Putin found out that NATO is going to accept Ukraine and got mad probably as he considered Ukraine one of his satellite puppet states. Which is pretty normal reaction if you ask me: remember the Cuban crisis in the 50ies? The US got mad and were close to pressing the red button just after finding out the USSR plans to place some nukes in Cuba.

Now imagine Putin investing huge amounts of money to influence the politicians in Mexico, financing a coup, visiting Mexico and giving some cookies to locals then installing a pro-Russian president and parliament. Founding several military bases in Mexico, providing Mexico with Russian armament and military equipment and training Mexican army. So what would the US do in response to that? What do you think? It's not hard to guess, is it? Grin
