Although Russia has reportedly invested $55 billion into its pipeline deal with China, natural gas imports through the pipeline have only totaled $3.81 billion since December 2019, according to China customs data as of June, accessed through Wind Information.
The pace of Chinese purchases picked up in the first half of this year — nearly tripling from a year ago to $1.66 billion, the data showed.

“They fight the Russians because they know what is at stake. Nobody has to send them out there.”
Millions of citizens are being held as hostages by Zelenski who will not let them leave the country. Millions more fled the country before that order went out...looks like some of the locals were not that thrilled about the government.
You are missing the forest from the trees.
I suggest you carefully read the Sherman anti-trust act.
I have lots of friends and family in the Ukraine. They are happy to stay and resist the Russians.
“When you have the government, and specifically leftists, working in conjunction with Big Tech to control what can and can’t be said (ex. the active suppression on the Hunter Biden laptop story), then you don’t have a free society; you are in the textbook definition of a fascist society (aka corporatism).”
So, I assume your post above will be suppressed by the Big Government/Big Tech fascists shortly. If not, you still have free speech.
Ukraine is a complicated place—and different folks have different opinions.
However, it is Zelenski who is holding millions hostage and not letting them leave the country—and drafting many of them.
That's a valid point as there is a very high barrier of entry with regard to fracking. Not only with materials but with experienced engineers as well. Slant drilling is not as simple as it sounds.
Peter Zeihan does a good job explaining all of that in his book "The Accidental Superpower" and how the United States is uniquely positioned to dominate in that field (barring political interference of course). I recommend that book highly.

Go ahead. Tell me Big tech didn’t suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.
“I suggest you carefully read the Sherman anti-trust act.”
Oh, I did. In great detail. It was covered quite thoroughly in one of my college classes.
And ?
"I have. It is a great people."
Congrats. It's still a corrupt state and has been for its entire 31-year existence.
"If you want to find hubs of child sex-trafficking, I suggest you start in Washington, DC."
Of course it is. And so is Ukraine. And I guarantee you can connect the dots between the two. Both controlled by degenerate and corrupt globalist scum. The same scum you continuously and stridently defend to the last breath.
"But even with all the corruption in DC I would still defend America if invaded."
You want a cookie ? I'm looking forward to the liberation of our illegitimate and illegal regime from the degenerate globalist scum.
"Those 18-year-olds you like to mention are not stupid."
They're protecting Zelensky and Soros ? They're either stupid, brainwashed, or supporting criminality. Since they're fed a steady diet of lies like what you and your Sorosbot trolls pollute FR with, brainwashed and lied to are the most likely case.
"They fight the Russians because they know what is at stake. Nobody has to send them out there. I support them."
Russians aren't their enemy. Their enemy is their government and their corrupt puppetmasters. And you support that evil, yet you won't fight because you're a coward.
"Speaking of corruption, how can anyone be more morally corrupt than you? You want 38 million to suffer invasion because there was some corruption in Kiev. But Moscow and DC corruption is okay with you. Hillary sending our uranium to Russia is okay with you. Obama promising Russia greater “flexibility” is okay with you."
Your constant defense of Soros and his corrupt state(s) means you have literally zero standing to criticize anyone's morality.
“Go ahead. Tell me Big tech didn’t suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.”
Of course it did! It went against the agenda! And — guess what? — they had the right to suppress it. Others did not suppress it, and reported on it regularly, and they continue to do so. That’s how the game is played. There has ALWAYS been suppression, in every culture and every society. Yet, ours has been the most free in history. We have always found a way around suppression. And we will continue to do so. You can whine about it, or fight the suppression that DOES exist.
Military age males cannot leave the country. So what? I have a nephew who went down to Army recruiting, thinking he was going to get the call anyway, and once they found out he was a university student they told him they did not need him now.
It reminded me of an article I wrote in El Salvador advocating a lottery-type draft system instead of their traditional grab-off-the-street conscription. I advocated that El Salvador’s rich should also serve. The criticism of the article came from Army enlisted who said we don’t want them (rich and upper-middle class kids). I replied that in England even members of the Brit Royal Family serve in the Armed Forces. The Salvadoran enlisted said, “They are not the Brit Royal Family and are too spoiled and soft.”
You need to grow up, son.
So you’re willing to sacrifice your nephew to the globalist tyranny ? Wow. What a man.
There has ALWAYS been suppression, in every culture and every society. Yet, ours has been the most free in history.

The most free in history? Not now. Not with warrantless secret FISA courts where you don’t even know you are a defendant until the SWAT team shows up. Not with NSA spying on all U.S. citizens. Not with extrajudicial drone strikes on U.S. citizens ordered by Obama.
Thank you for putting my truthful comments in boldface while your idiotic lies and insanity are lost amongst the bold.
Thank you for helping Ukraine.
“Military age males cannot leave the country. So what?”
o.....kay.....
Slavery is alive and well.
The globalist tyranny came to Ukraine from your pals Obama and Putin. You’ve never been to Ukraine but you hate it. You’re close-minded and brainwashed.
China needs Russia (for now) and Russia needs China (for now) and so does Iran. Think WW II (Russia is Italy), (China is Germany) and (Iran is Romania) They have client states they can call upon for help but they are too weak to do much—Syria, Cuba, North Korea, Cambodia, etc... This is a new Axis and a big mean one who hates America and the west.
You can dish it, but you can’t take it. You got exposed as a hypocrite. Maybe you should take a good, hard look at yourself about your entire worldview.
He defends Soros tyranny, so it’s not surprise he’d lie about us being “freest in history.”
