Actually, I like the Russia China deal.
Germany would have become way too dependent upon political blackmail from Russia. Russia has used the flow of natural gas in the winter to try to control many former Soviet states.
To have Russia and China using such a key to the economy and public health as energy in future disputes between them will be very destructive to China and make them need to behave and become more dependent upon the West.
That’s unorthodox take on it.
This is funny. China considers Siberia, part of China.
So, Russia builds the pipeline and then China takes Siberia in a few years.
Thanks..bon voyage....
The Chinese tell you their plans, they don’t hide it.
