By the way
WriteerNG you said everyone has a weak spot
What's Russia weak spot.
Rubble?
Or what
Russia's weak spot was trading with western currencies and opening their doors to western media and services.

But Russia is working to correct that.

⚡SERGEY LAVROV:

"Here is how the United States perceives Europe:

The US believes that if it provokes a nuclear war (which they are actively doing), only Europe will suffer.

Historically, as in the first and second world wars, they expect to emerge as the victor.

This mindset reflects the philosophy and mentality of current US policymakers, and consequently, those who lead Ukraine."

when banks collapse
It doesn't mean a sudden death
It's a slow process,from 2022 till now. Go and ask the average Russian in Moscow not other parts of Russia
Just Moscow
You will know what the sanctions is doing to them
Take a look at Nigeria as the dollar is increasing.
Does it affect the politicians or those close to them
No.
It's the common man
No matter what they tell you
Russians are suffering and they don't want you to know.
Biden is the only reason sanctions are not biting hard.

When trump sanctioned north korea they returned back to negotiate

They will only suffer if they fold their hands and do nothing.


There's always a solution to every problem. ALWAYS!

In this case, the solution is to stop using any western product or services. And diversify. Start trading with as many countries as possible.

How's that working for Cuba and North Korea

One thing you should know. No matter how I hate the west, one thing is for sure
They are an economic powerhouse
You can see the difference between when former Soviet Union states where in the USSR and now when they are in NATO.
Its not always about military safety but economic development too. Russia needs the goods and services of the west to move forward
No man is an island

those countries you want them to trade with rely on the goods and services of the west.
Take China for instance
Who gave them all the manufacturing contracts.

Those are tiny countries bordering virtually no one.

NK chose to be isolated. Kim doesn't even want to do business with the outside world.

You overrate the West. No one is infallible.

and supply the finished product to who?
The person who told you to manufacture this will always be the biggest buyer of that.
Take Nike shoes(Jordans, air force one, etc)for instance
Who is one of the manufacturing contractor
China
Who uses it more
USA

How about taking control of the manufacturing and supplying the finished product to buyers from around the world, including the US?

Some nations do it. Those nations are termed as State controlled or dictatorship by the West.

We have talked about this issue which I won't drag again over and over

Many president have said it even economic analyst

You can not sanction any nation that produces

Oil wheat mineral resources all kinds and even survive them

Russia has all things the rest of the world needs so it can't be sanctioned

[/quote ]that's where boycott comes in
You have to sale at a loss
And that's not good for economy
Ok remember when Kanye West was cancelled for antisemitism comments and Adidas refused to partner with him
The black community boycott the Yeezy footwear and Adidas lost over a billion dollars they had to renegotiate.
That's what am trying to tell you.

China is also a sanctioned country. With over 1000 sanctions in critical industries.

Nigeria isn't sanctioned. Compare both countries.

Iran was sanctioned in the military sphere, they still got everything they were sanctioned for anyway. Same as North Korea.

Is there any country in the West than can be compared to China in terms of growth and innovation?

Even combined, can they even match China? NO!

The US combined with the G7 + NATO doesn't even control up to 60% of the world economy.

And they'll lose even more control if just 20 countries stop using the dollar and euro.

Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and other big producing nations in Asia will be joining BRICS.

Just to mention a few
China manufacturers cars but still use US and g7 cars

What about the rest of the world?

China is the WORLD FACTORY, not US/West factory.

80% of the world is poor.

If they move production to their countries, no one in the poor countries would buy their products. Even their own citizens would not be able to afford it. That's a fact.

China would still retain the said 80% of the world's poor population as a client.

China has made more millionaires in Nigeria than the US. Visit Aba, Onitsha, Owerri and the business hubs of Lagos and see for yourself.

Millions of Nigerians including yourself are able to use a smartphone today, thanks to China.

⚡SERGEY LAVROV:

"Multipolarity does not depend on the desire of one country or a group of countries.

Multipolarity or polycentrism, as we call it, is an objective historical process that cannot be stopped.

Even though the West is using every trick in the book to slow it down to prolong its hegemony.

This hegemony has been declared the main goal of the United States and its allies.

They have no scruples to say that the world order dominated by America, NATO, and the EU must not be allowed to change.


It is a blatantly neo-colonial mentality.

You can see it in all actions of the collective West, which is trying to divide the world into blocs.

You may remember that in the past few years the Americans convened special summits for democracy to which they invited carefully chosen participants.

The only criterion for receiving invitations is loyalty to the United States or more precisely, to the Democratic administration of Joe Biden.

All other countries were marked as autocracies.


Another example of the division of the world into blocs is the infamous statement by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell that Europe is a garden and the rest of the world is a jungle.

Neither will we forget a statement by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said that if you are not at the table in the international system, you’re going to be on the menu.

I do not remember hearing a more racist and neo-colonial statement.

In other words, BRICS is not separating itself from the world.

Quite the contrary, it has developed as a group of countries that are concerned about justice on the international stage."

because the west don't have a choice... Which country will take up production in the west? China needs the west much as the west needs China.
It's different for Russia as their main export is oil and raw materials you cannot sanctions such a country, China is in their backyard they need oil like kilode.
World geopolitics is different and the west often think it controls it but they learnt a really good lesson with sanctioning Russia

Read the Decoupling Act Biden signed. And India is positioning itself to be the next production hub of the West. These are facts.

Russia is been sanctioned. I know you know nothing bout the collapse of Ruble and how China's Yuan is now the currency of Russia.

Hopefully you understand more as it unfolds.
