  1. I find myself wondering if China has doubts about how long the deal would realistically last, and how safe it would be, and doesn't want to spend billions on a useless pipeline, but also doesn't want to say why/piss off Russia, so they have chosen an unreasonable negotiating position as a way to not say yes without saying no.

  2. ​ @pohmoh3590  to the extent that Russia is lowering their prices to sell to Europe through third partirles, Russia is not really "tricking the west. The west is tricking Russia into giving Turkey and others free money. Turkey is especially amusing as Russia is paying for weapons to kill Russians in Ukraine!
