    Sanctions with exceptions? Who were the dummies who came up with this?

    Inarguably, Russia-China strategic alliance is imperative to negate U.S. global hegemony. It is existential for the betterment of humanity.
  • I felt your deep pain πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ all those propagandas πŸ˜‚
  • @thekb1924
    So who is the senior partner between German, France, Britain and USA?.
  • The leadership in the West ⬅️ was so myopic πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    Mutual respect and trust, that is how countries develop friendships; not through threats and opportunistic browbeatings which the US and EU seem to believe in.
  • @djtu7280
    this guy was seriously saying "Putin" will be arrested if he goes to some countries, like it's something that will really happen.... it's funny
  • Just like the US and EU are desperate to break their Cooperation and friendship but they failed to do that πŸ€£πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ zealous or scared 😱🀣🀣🀣

    Let's look at the facts: Russia - China trade is at 240Bn $ for 2023 and poised to reach 280+Bn$ this year. Russia has a trade surplus with China. Russia is the richest country on the planet as it is the largest with the most resources. Resources are statistically distributed across the planet, except for current fauna and flora which is climate dependent. Russia has the most non-human resources while China has the most human resources which consume natural resources. They share a 4209km long border the longest after the Canada-US and the Argentina-Chile borders. China has a full spectrum economy while Russia is now just transforming at rapid speed to full spectrum. Russia leads in military technology, nuclear and energy technologies and space technology and agriculture. China leads in manufacturing and transportation and automotive technologies. Both countries need to expand the pharma and life science technologies. China is a world leader in quantum technology and computer manufacturing. Russia has the best mathematicians and software engineers - a position Russia never lost since the early 1980s. China has a 10x bigger population. Both are AI leaders. Russia needs to catch up in manufacturing and some high tech extraction technologies (Schlumbereger). So, these objectives will be reached by 2030. Russia grows by 3-4% this decade and probably the next as well, since it has decoupled from the low growth and low innovation imperial markets, which have slowed considerably under hyper-regulation and esoteric mental transformation called post-humanism. The Europeans desperately cling to their prefered colony status in the US empire, however the imperial model is becoming weaker and weaker as peripheral colonies are joining a new global collaboration model: BRICS. IT is not suprising that the last European empire fades now. Empires are centralistic and converge always towrads monopolistic structure, inevitably. Monopolitsic structures increase corruption and reduce productivity and above all innovation. The Hegemon of an Empire- that is in this case the US, still draws its 5% free rent from its colonies, however when colonies leave then the burden for the rest becomes bigger. The EUropean dominian will have to pay for continued growth of its Hegemon, the US. It shows in the numbers: 58% GDP/Capita in 15 years vs 0.5% for the EU. The EU , like Japan , is stagnating for 15 years now and that was between 2008-22. Now with no energy and a self-decoupling from China the EU will become super-dependent on its Hegemon, the US. That is how the US will continue for some time to grow even though by extracting that colonial rent (Piketty, et al 2012). At the same time Russia and China are building and expanding BRICS- an egalitarian Ricardo based collaboration platform based on UN Charter law. The only international law that exists. Everything else, including the ICC, which none of the world powers accepts, is bi-lateral treaties and agreements but no law. BRICS's is the new non-hierarchical model for sovereign countries who can govern and develop themselves as they see fit, and collaborate and compete freely and peacefully. Quite the opposite to the 500 year old EUropean imperial models. And yes, la France Afrique c'est fini. And Macron really staked the French impertialism in Africa when he made his splendid appearance in Burkina Faso 28th November 2017, when he he most arrogantly and comically as well told the Africans that they are iditiots who can't even fix air conditioning and that France is fed up with them- hey and still he wanted to keep his bases in Africa? It was the most self-destructive appearance as it was arrogant to the bone, just to tease the young people they can bloody go to Paris and search for their gold there..... Now Macron is just a symptom, not more and these complex systems evolve no matter what any politician says or does. Few, like Putin or Xi understand complex systems and how to accelerate natural evolution of these systems and thus understand the laws of nature and how to adapt best to accelerate prosperity. The West creates ideologies and then stubbornly pursues these- always ends bad! The longer the Empire denies reality the harder the wake up call will be. I hope this makes things a bit more graspable for France24.

    What pressure πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  • @SonyJimable
    I have great respect for the Russian people and its leadership and China continues to do incredibly well in challenging times. They both have a future and other nations in South East Asia, Latin America and on the African continent will grow. In contrast the US is falling apart, and I'm very pessimistic about the future of Europe and I believe that Britain will probably be a down right ugly hell hole a few years from now...
  • Why all these lies against Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί . πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ God Bless Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί. Remember Russia is the second most powerful country. In terms of military Power.
  • @KMuse99
    Many countries regarding Putin as a pariah? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Seriously. Last I check G7 is not the world.
