I am not sure “handsome” is the right word, but he is definitely “far more”. (As the pot said to the kettle)

In a couple years you will be calling Russia the Northwest China Territories.Update on sanctions
Ruble still down over 30%.
Apparently, no one wants to own Russian bonds as getting paid is a worse than a coin-flip.
And even the Swiss have decided to join in. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/neutral-swiss-adopt-sanctions-against-russia-2022-02-28/
Russia Swaps Signal Record 56% Chance of Default After Sanctions
The cost of insuring Russia’s government debt rose to a record after harder-hitting sanctions on the country prompted Moscow to take emergency measures to shield its financial sector.www.bloomberg.com
Estimates put non-ruble reserves ar $600B (about a third of the country's GDP), with about $150B in physical gold. That begs the question on how much can they access if no one can work with Russia Central Bank. I guess China can give them a yuan loan, but anyone who has loaned money to a deadbeat relative will probably be able to estimate how long relationship will hold. If China increases the transactions with Russia there will be a feedback loop on the Yuan requiring them to keep the currency stronger. It is a risky bet.

Russia's attempt to create a fortress economy. Before most people were paying attention, this was an indicator of Putin's intentions we were looking at...

Russia’s Attempts to Sanction-Proof Its Economy Have Exposed a Weak Spot
A raft of hard-hitting measures in case of a renewed Russian incursion into Ukraine could test Moscow’s efforts to insulate itself from sanctions and cause broad economic pain.

At least the week has made it more clear which “influencers” are on the Putin gravy train.

Please explain how you have vetted him to be a lone truth teller? I am sincerely curious.

Couldn't you have at least waited till after lunch to use the phrase Putin gravy?
The guy who produced the video doesn't know his ass from third base. His bullshit happens to fit what you personally believe. If you want to believe his money making horse shit, knock yourself out. Take it to Facebook or Rumble.
Continue to post that type of content here, as you have the last two days, and your password will likely stop working. If you are trying to make some sort of statement, it isn't working. This forum isn't going to become a place for conspiracy bullshit.

Whatever. Anytime you don't agree with a person's opinion, it's a conspiracy.

US General Assembly Vote results:
Learned about a new country today, Eritrea
As the report by the UN Human Rights Council explained: "No national elections have taken place since that time, and no presidential elections have ever taken place. Local or regional elections have not been held since 2003–2004. The National Assembly elected independent Eritrea’s first president, Isaias Afwerki, in 1993.

The abstention votes are more interesting. Like why did South Africa and Bolivia abstain?

See I get turkey, they're part of nato and in close proximity to the conflict.
it's a bit old but: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/08/russia-india-relations/
A lot of African governments still stick with the old non-alignment movement.
Same here for non-alignment.
Turkey has been pretty cozy with Russia since 2016. Their about-face has surprised me as well.
