"free harbors for everyone \o\ and now bow to your new masters, but you dont get a job, only chinese workers work in our new free harbor that totally benefits your country, not."

Oil, that was another one. I remember ages ago when no one was supposed to be selling oil to nkorea low and behold here’s russia vessels offloading oil to nkorea 🤷🏻‍♀️ and not that long ago it was China vessels pulled up to nkorea while Russian trains were to and fro. And nobody knows nothing 😳🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

Kim and Xi are the friends from long ago. Russia has always been willing probably for what they have endured since ussr has made some friends along the way too. Those three have been very interesting to watch as this tells the story of time.

I’m sorry I had to do a big “WTF” to this comment?

what exactly did you do/buy and what did you consider “super cheap” relative to Japan?

Because for the past few years Japan has been SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than South Korea. Like SIGNIFICANTLY. It’s kind of a thing right now. Young South Koreans are going on trips to Japan in droves because of how cheap everything is. It’s a whole trend atm. I went to Japan this past fall (probably exactly around the time you went) and it got almost annoying the amount of times someone from our group would say “It’s so cheap!!!” Like that was THE theme of the trip. The single main takeaway. How all the food, transport, shopping, even lodging was so damn cheap compared to Korea.

I’m just flabbergasted that someone could have the opposite take… like I wouldn’t have bothered to type this all out if it weren’t for the fact that there is literally a whole ass societal trend happening in Korea right now where people are talking about how damn cheap and affordable Japan is compared to Korea. Like Korean YouTube is absolutely disgustingly flooded with Korean travelers visiting Japan and gawking at how affordable everything is.

Funny you mention a game I have never heard of but is war and you say china plays real life.

My first huge company I worked for was a Chinese tech company in USA. I was fairly young 20s and a lot ignorant to life or lacked wisdom really.

My Chinese National boss who jeez I miss and couldn’t believe he smoked 😳🤣 anyways.

After one long night and he shouldn’t have been at work that late but obviously something was going wrong and had been in meetings half the evening.

Because of Philips intensity that night I never ever have forgotten what he said to me that night.

  1. silence is golden- I gathered from the Chinese translation of his analogy he gave.

2)to the Chinese he said business IS war.

> Ohh dang so now you are letting me know how Russia stayed afloat. America thought Russias currency was going to fall sooner than it did. And really of no one is trading your own money, your money can still have value within your own system.

Yeah the currency can't go down when no trade is happening, they wanted to supplement trade with EU and USA with China, but China is not that willing. They also trade oil through a shadow fleet of vessels, but it far less profitable than normal, they are slowly sinking.

I thought China was brilliant in at least computing as part of their systems based on or with having a persons rations allocated.

I’m not saying it right. But basically china if it can’t pay you in money, it has a system in place that would allocate you the bare minimum to exist in rice rations.

I was intrigued and wanted to watch simply because of the thought processes involved.

In the article, Russia condemned Kyiv’s push against the UOC as an outrage and a crime.

I have only this to say, "F*ck you Russia. You have no f*cken right to complain when you have committed war crime and crime against humanity."

Be happy Ukraine have not closed down all orthodox church and expelled all priests back to Russia.
