OK, I see. The Kremlin and Beijing are advocates of free trade,
and the Americans, after their prior publicly known warning,
are behind the attack in Moscow.
Of course the Kremlin and Beijing are advocates of free trade, their very livelihoods depend upon it.
Russia is totally dependant on exporting natural resources while China is totally dependant on exporting manufactured goods.
It's the importers who try to impose controls to protect their own less efficient produce.

So for the hundredth time for all the hard of thinking morons.
NATO and the US rolled up to Russia's border after saying they wouldn't move east 1 inch.
Then the US staged a coup to overthrow the democratically elected govt in Ukraine and installed the far right west Ukrainian Banderites in power and started building up the Ukraine army.
Who then started shelling the civilians of Donetsk, which continued for 8 years while NATO and the UN sat and watched and did nothing.
Of course Putin knew it was a trap, but inevitably he had to do something, most were surprised he waited 8 years.
He went in with 190,000 troops, just enough to protect the 4 Russian speaking east Ukraine oblasts.
Then the US and NATO started to move in huge amounts of money and equipment when their sanctions failed to work.
And it's all been escalating ever since, all started by NATO expansionism.

WSJ on the artillery shell shortage, has all the dots in place but just can't bring itself to join them up.
US making 28,000 a month hope to increase to 80,000 a month by end of 2025. France has given 30,000 and hope to give another 80,000 by the end of the year. Cost of shells has risen from $2000 to $8000 each.
Russia is firing 30,000 A DAY (NATO figs.)

Why won't Ukr mobilise the 500,000 they desperately need for the frontline?
For months now the mobilisation bill has been held up in the Ukr parliament. US politicians have gone to Kiev to DEMAND they pass the bill and get these 500,000 to the front to save Biden's re-election prospects from collapse save the Ukr army from collapse.
The US admits there's no more money, no more tanks, no more artillery shells. Only a fresh mobilisation will prevent the Russians winning.
Why did they even have a law preventing the mobilisation of 18 to 25 year olds in the first place ????
IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST.
There's a massive hole in the Ukr population demographic;
So who's next up to bat then? Given the average age of a Ukr frontline soldier is already 43 it's got to be the pensioners.
For centuries the cost of losing a war was to give up some of your army, some of your land and some of your money. Very few leaders were ever allowed to keep rolling the dice until they lost EVERYTHING (Hitler, Napoleon), Zelensky will go down in history alright, just not in a good way.
