What if anything in the article describing the pact signed between Russia and China do you not believe?
Did you even read it???
It is historical fact!
Russia would not be a functioning economy today without Chinas full and ongoing support- China now buys most of Russia oil, and China enables payment for that oil and purchase of Chinese manufactured goods and other goods.
China can do this because China is now essential to global trade and trade payments.
Although USA still holds its legacy control over SWIFT, China was post GFC invited to become a member of the IMFs exclusive board of reserve currency issuers.
China was what largely enabled the recovery from the GFC and USA now needs China for its fiat hegemony to remain viable.
Russia is Chinas poodle patsy- supplying discounted oil and gas and attacking Ukraine with Chinas nod and wink approval. Russia is doing the dirty work and doing for a discount price for China.
Short answer: nothing.
Aljazeera might be a tad more dependable, but its still only describing reality in fiat terms, Keynsian delusions, and probably with heavy manipulation on behalf of the Gulf deep states on top of that.
Do a thought experiment, please: imagine that ALL borders closed down to never open for a year, what countries would be left standing?
That is my point, and actually how I think the Russians are thinking. Resiliency is what counts, my home country had all of that but literally threw it away after ~1990, while Russia rebuilt with that in mind all along...
Of course you might be right about some of these things, but I'll make up my own mind on that later on if I choose to get closer to, or even into the Russian sphere.
Bulgaria would be a "light" version of such a move, Armenia or Georgia more direct, especially if I end up doing this move in a few years, when they inevitably will have been drawn in again.
