Interesting response, might reflect the problems Russia is having with China which are being concealed.
Reality is Russia is the largest and probably most resource rich nation on Earth. China is quite a bit smaller and not as resource rich.
There are about 165 million Russians, there are 1.4 billion Chinese.
Russians should be worried.
Russia released a mad dog on the world with China, and America, stupidly, fed it. Someone’s going to have to take it out behind the corn crib.
I still wonder what deal China made with Russia over this virus they released. I would think Russia could tolerate its effects even less than the US could.
