Russian inflation is raging at 60%, not the reported 3.6%, thanks to the ruble's 'freefall', top economist Steve Hanke says

All of this is irrelevant shit. Chinese companies that do business with Russia are out to maximize profits just like other companies and they don't care about Russia's problems. Russia is entirely on its own and not doing well.

You see, the problem is that Chinese companies are more or less controlled by Chinese government. And Chinese government is playing a bigger game with much more higher stakes.

Only in your imagination, but it is interesting how you have moved from claiming Russia is a strong country that can defeat Ukraine to admitting that it has no hope of victory unless it is rescued by China or other of its imaginary "allies".

Russia is a strong country, and it definitely can defeat Ukraine (with or without NATO support), as well as the USA can defeat Mexico (supported or not supported by Shanghai Block).
The problem is that Russia is a part of a bigger alliance, which is challenging
NATO in the proxy war of attrition.

And this war of attrition can cause much more serious consequences for the USA than Russian conventional victory over soleil Ukraine, or Russian nuclear victory over NATO-backed Ukraine.

Once again you post nothing but nonsense. There is no larger alliance in this war. Russia is entirely alone, and even North Korea, the country most like Russia, would not help the Russians if there were no profit in it for them.

Wow. Of course, the countries with more or less sane governments help each other because it is mutually profitable. Especially when it's profitable not only in short-term, but in the longer game. Only a corrupted fool (like Biden) ready to waste his nation's wealth for nothing.

Another nonsense post from you. Is there any subject you are not abysmally ignorant of?
