@edmund6392 Actually, Russia has about more than enough grain, barley, all sort of agriculture product, including dairy, and furthermore, Western sanction doesn't apply to the Chinese government, therefore nobody will be short of anything. Get off of your delusions, darling. Russia doesn't really need you. You does need Russia, how's the gasoline prices going? The only consumer products that's rising in prices in Russia is imported goods that nobody really needs, Russian pasta is not as fancy as Italian pasta but they'll survive. Meanwhile in America, gasoline is going up and up, leading to everything else going way up.

That's just impossible, darling. Because unlike the Soviet union, Russian domestic companies are well run and doesn't really depend on any foreign imports. You need to get back to reality. Food and gasoline prices in Russia stays the same. Food and gasoline prices in America, not so much.

@willie707 That's just pathetic, because China is a communist country and pal, the middle class their live just as well as everybody. Poverty is due to incompetent government management of companies. Russian companies are state owned, but they follow the market principle by trying to provide the cheapest products to the people, and they've gotten pretty good at it, just like the Chinese. So you think because there's no MacDonald in Russia, it means they're going back to poverty, that doesn't happen. Russian companies and government have created a stable model that they don't need any foreign imports on anything, as least in basic consumer products.
