China can prop Russia up financially

[WizardofSoda]

On their interbank system, China can leave an extra $100 billion in USD equivalent. Then when the Russians spend through that, the Chinese can refresh it. The Chinese can stabilize the Russian Ruble in the same way. Anything the Russians need the Chinese can either manufacture it for Russia, or Russia can order it from third countries.

Of course the problem with this is that China will put strings on it, so you come under their control.

Yes, western hegemony is really falling apart in this regard, already USD/RUB exchange is stabilized around 80 after being above 100.
Maybe they won't have McDonalds and iPhones and their standard of living may fall a bit but their country will not turn to dust.

bra android phones are procudeced in China. At least Russians can program their own operating system and just buy phones from Chinese factories.

The West is a toothless paper tiger in terms of sanctions. The West can fight and produce weapons but their sanctions are fart in the wind

A very nasty egg fart that smells like a rotting carcass. The sanctions do have an economic impact, else they won't bother imposing them. It's not just political lip service to appease people and show them that something is being done.

The ruble recovered and is actually stronger than before the sanctions. They’re forcing the west to buy their oil and natural gas in rubles. NATO used their strongest scantions. They got nothing else now but propaganda

of course the West are gonna do everything they can in their power. Wont stop people buying Russian oil. Money talks. Why pay 25$ a barrel from USA when Russia only wants 20$ a barrel.

They did a good job to stabilize it. Russia can probably stabilize it by itself, but with China they can 100% keep the Ruble in its normal trading range it was in before the war.

Something Russia will do is going forward they can make sure all military equipment they are paying for they are actually getting. And kill off any people involved in the corruption before. And huge increases to their military procurement budget.

Ya it was reported Russia was taking a $20 discount for some barrels of oil, probably less than that now. Curries for example wouldn't be able to pass that deal up. And then we get third countries who import for $87 and sell elsewhere for $107.. which is why it will quickly arbitrage.

Curries love hording money. They will never ever pass up that deal ever. America can compalin and threatan all they want, curries will just make sad excuses of financial challenges as to why they cant stop buying Russian oil
