China takes over Central Asia

China takes over Central Asia

On May 18 and 19, an epoch-making event for many (including us) took place - the summit of the states of Central Asia, which are now called C5 - Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

But this summit was held not in the capital of one of the above countries, but in Xian, one of the capitals of ancient China, from where, by the way, the Great Chinese Silk Road went to Europe.



Symbolic? Oh yeah! Including because it was again about the great Chinese silk. way, but modern. And the summit was held in the C5 + 1 format, where “1” is China.

In general, I got the impression that Comrade Xi, having assessed the situation in the world well, stopped playing retail and went for a large wholesale. However, judge for yourself.

Documents were signed decently, but I will start with the most important, in my opinion. With the signing by China, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan of the document about new steps in the construction of a railway to bypass Russia. It is clear that the key word here is “new”. It very well shows the essence of the moment, which means that the old steps have already been taken, we must move on.

This plan actually creates a shorter route to Europe for the Asian countries of the region. Only one nuance, completely unimportant for them, but important for us - the path lies bypassing Russian territory.


The route, frankly, is not without flaws, the main of which is Iran, but there is an option instead of the route through Iran to use ferry crossings to Azerbaijan, here is Turkey, here is Europe. In addition, it makes no difference to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, through which countries to drive goods, the main thing is that it be cheap and safe.

As for “cheap” in terms of our Russian Railways, I can’t say, but in January 2023, 142 rubles were put up for the delivery of a minivan from Vladivostok to Moscow. Carriage deliveries can cost up to half a million rubles for a 000-ton car on the same route.

Security ... This is generally a moot point. Railway safety is a very delicate and complex matter.


However, once the documents are signed, it means that the participating countries are well aware of what they are getting into. And they are getting involved in the process of the final transition from the Russian sphere of influence to the Chinese one.

In principle, if there is an income for the country from this friendship, what difference does it make where to go to the parade, on May 9 in Moscow or on October 1 in Beijing? China, however, does not indulge itself in parades and holds it once every ten years. But nothing, as they say, would be the case, but there will be dancing.

And China, in the person of the leadership, not only talks about projects that guarantee profits for the economies of the participating countries, but affects much more significant areas, namely security. Security is not only about joint projects with China, we are talking about the security of the participating countries in general.

In fact, the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, openly offered the former Soviet republics that are members of the EAEU, the CSTO and other letter combinations, a real military bloc.

Military alliance of China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.


Xi Jinping said that China is ready to strengthen the defense capabilities of the participating countries, enhance their external and internal security, and ensure peace in the region. And for this, as a "goodwill step", Comrade Xi promised to give out 26 billion yuan from the master's shoulder. 3,6 billion dollars.

For what specific purposes, the Chinese leader did not say exactly, but even if this money is simply transferred to Chinese weapon, which will go to the armies of the countries participating in the new bloc, the amount is already quite decent. Chinese weapons are much cheaper than Russian ones.

Xi Jinping also said that China can take part in the development of the entire region. That is, to participate in the development and coordination of the development strategy, implement it, develop and build large infrastructure projects. Naturally, at the same time, Chinese companies will enter the region and start working, which in turn will give jobs to local residents.

You know, no matter how you look at it, it is an approach from such trump cards that Russia has practically nothing to cover with.

Undoubtedly, recently Russia has worked out its role in the CSTO very well and retained power to the President of Kazakhstan, Tokayev, who now demonstrates how he can be grateful for this. Purely in Kazakh. Next time, this work will apparently be done by Chinese special forces and it will be interesting to see the results. Although, it is quite possible that in the new world in Kazakhstan everyone will simply bathe in yuan and there will be no dissatisfied people at all.

Some analysts have already expressed the opinion that this is an application for the transition of the once Soviet, and then, with grief in half, and Russian Central Asia into the sphere of influence of China. Perhaps the opinion is somewhat pessimistic, but this is not even an application, but a statement of what has happened. So to speak, in fact.

Yes, so far no one disputes the membership of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the CSTO, and joining the new bloc does not cancel participation in the Russian project. Or cancel?

In fact, all participation in the CSTO of any countries except Russia is a fiction. No, as for solving their problems at the expense of Russian soldiers, it's easy. Kazakhstan showed this in all its glory, and Armenia demonstrated it almost every year, trying to solve its problems with Azerbaijan in exactly the same way: to keep their own people at home, and others to die.

Therefore, I am sure that as the process of organizing a new C5 + 1 (PRC) military bloc moves forward, everyone who will not be able to get anything from participating in the future will leave the CSTO.

Roughly the same thing could happen to the dying EAEU. Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan will simply finish him off with their exit (the rest fled earlier or did not join at all).


And there will be two “blocks for three”, brawls from Russia, Belarus and Armenia. The last one is not accurate.

It is clear that the long work of Chinese analysts and forecasters has yielded certain results, and now China will try to use the situation in which Russia has been plunged to the maximum benefit for itself.

It's no secret that our Central Asian rulers, whatever you call them, presidents, bashis, sultans, or whatever else, they, just like their ancestors many hundreds of years ago, understand the language of power best of all. Who is strong is worthy. Friendship, cooperation, worship - the main thing here is strength and power.

China today has, albeit with reservations, but economic power and military strength, this is a fact. Significantly exceeding the capabilities of C5 countries. And the army fleet China has what it takes, at least in numbers on paper. Not like Kazakhstan, of course. But Russia... Let's not talk about sad things, but in short - Russia continues to surrender one position after another and there is no end in sight to this process.

Even after the start of the NMD, the Central Asian leaders were very wary of the idea of ​​a “march to the West”, and only after the collapse and abandonment of the Kharkiv region and Kherson they exhaled and began to unanimously support anti-Russian sanctions. The bear was not as dangerous as it seemed to everyone.

And here lies the very reason for the change of course. Russia can not be afraid, Russia was not as strong as it seems. A new partner, or whatever it comes out next, must be stronger.

Of course, this does not mean that all the Central Asian republics will turn away from Russia overnight like this. It is a sin not to use the opportunity to pump money from a neighboring country in such quantities as guest workers do. But there is a certain wariness, and this is already enough for the pragmatic Chinese comrades to poke everyone into the “successes” of the Russian army in the NMD and give out that “everything will not be the same under them.”

Russia is not invited either to build a railway or to participate in a military bloc.

And here everything is just amazing. The leadership of the PRC decided to create its own zone of trade and influence. Central Asia is a very profitable region, Chinese firms have been sitting there for a long time and densely. And then the expansion of everything plus the filling of this zone with what? That's right, yuan. Which is not a convertible currency, and there are many steps to be taken towards this Chinese currency. This is where it actually started.

Naturally, since “Any revolution is only worth something if it knows how to defend itself” (according to V. I. Lenin), then China must also protect its revolutionary campaign against the West from all possible and impossible surprises. And the region is still the same in every sense, Afghanistan and Iran are enough through the roof. But whoever takes risks wins. Moreover, China is demonstrating its readiness to become a regional peacemaker in Central Asia.

Can this defense alliance pose any threat to Russia?


In fact, no. The collapse of the CSTO for the sake of a new union, in principle, can be taken with relief, since the very idea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbprotecting "younger brothers" at one's own expense is, as it were, utterly flawed in our time. Another question is that plugging holes in the work of the Russian diplomatic department with soldiers of the Russian army is not the best way out.

The collapse of the EAEU… What is dead cannot die anyway. Another question is that the countries of Central Asia will not completely abandon Russia either, a balance is simply needed here. In accordance with the English folk wisdom that you should not keep your eggs in one basket. That is. relations with Russia will remain, but they will simply go by the wayside, giving way to the more aggressive and wealthy in many respects, China.

“Comrade Xi, come, put things in order” - it is, of course, true, but if Comrade Xi starts to put things in order using Chinese methods ... In general, at least some kind of counterbalance is needed.

But nevertheless, Russia was not invited either to the military bloc or to the construction site. It is clear that if they were not invited to the summit, then there is no need to talk about the rest. They decided that they would manage on their own, and politically there were fewer problems.

Speaking of eggs in baskets. China professes this principle in exactly the same way. China has a lot of problems with the delivery of goods to other regions. And hitting Chinese trade is easier than ever, simply by creating tension at critical points in the maritime trade routes. For China, such a main point is the Strait of Malacca. And in a couple to him - Sunda. Any tension in the area - and that's it, the exit to the Indian Ocean is blocked automatically.

There are other points: the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar. Risk zones, if you will, because the closure of even one of these places greatly complicates China's maritime trade.

Given the general instability of the world, China's aspirations are understandable. Here the best example is the Russian Crimea. The most reliable way is along the continent. Ferry crossings are blocked by storms, the bridge, as practice has shown, can be disabled by sabotage or a rocket. Therefore, China is looking not just for a new Silk Road, but for ways to implement a project that will diversify traditional routes.

Therefore, the Silk Road is not just one route. It can be multiple routes. Comfortable and not very, cheap or expensive, but the main thing in them is that they must be safe. What was in the diagram above is one of the options. But China will build more than one such corridor, no matter under what names. The important thing is that they will go to Europe, bypassing all zones of tension.

China has a huge production capacity, and once launched, the system must work. And it will work only when a clear sale is established. Today with sales to Europe, the tension caused by NWO. Therefore, it is quite natural that China will build alternative routes for the transfer of goods to Europe.

After all, Europe is the second largest consumer of Chinese goods after ASEAN. Over $500 billion per year (562 in 2022). There is something to strive for.

And therefore, the PRC will implement its projects in Central Asia, and implement it without Russia, which itself is today a point of tension for China both because of military operations and because of political and economic sanctions. China will definitely not quarrel with its main consumers of goods (EU - 562 billion dollars, USA - 581 billion dollars). And let the goods past Russia. Experts talk about the losses of JSC Russian Railways in the region of 120 billion rubles, judging by theoretical calculations about the capacity of the new railway at the level of 12-15 million tons.

Results


The results are not optimistic. Russia absolutely calmly surrenders Central Asia (conquered with considerable bloodshed and actually built by Russia) to China.

The EAEU is becoming a fiction, since the new C5+China economic bloc has more prospects than the EAEU, which in the current situation is not very interesting to the participants due to the sanctions against Russia.

The CSTO is becoming a fiction as China makes a very "tasty" proposal to organize a new military bloc.

In the future, if Russia is removed from the Silk Road, there will be economic losses.

Today, many "experts" unanimously started talking about the fact that “Moscow and Beijing in this region are not competitors, but partners, both countries are interested in the infrastructural development of the region, the creation of transport corridors and other economic projects in it, therefore many initiatives in Central Asia will be implemented by combining the efforts of Russia and China, for which the region also has geopolitical value.

This, for example, is Yana Leksyutina, a professor at St. Petersburg State University. But there were others who also claimed that "the Russian and the Chinese are brothers forever."

However, for some reason, China did not invite Russia to the military bloc or to the construction of the region. Perhaps they are so strong and confident that they can handle it themselves?

        Sad but true ....


        The saddest thing is that after the collapse of the USSR, Russia was unable to collect the former fragments of the union and integrate them into the sphere of its interests. All those organizations that we built did not lead to anything: the CIS, the EAEU and the CSTO in the military sphere. For (roughly) 30 years, real work and results were replaced by a beautiful picture in which we are the very best, we are building the EU 2.0, and by the end of 2008, 2014, 2022, no one supported us .... joint economic projects, it turned out not enough to keep our neighbors + steps were not taken to form a single political field / a single currency area / a single defensive union (which would really work) ... everywhere, rather, an imitation of unions.

        And the most interesting thing is that such a single union could really exist (albeit not in the form of the USSR), but as the EU. But we were in no hurry .... for the results, the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other structures, the president did not particularly ask, as I understand it (after all, the main thing is the imitation of work than the result ... in our case it is so). Here is the result.

        Central Asia reoriented itself towards the PRC, even the same Belarus and that began to integrate more into the Chinese zone of influence (in various organizations) ... the former allies of the USSR, from Africa to Latin America, also changed their patron, and in the end we were left alone (if you look in fact).

        But there is a chance to reverse these processes .... provided that the United States begins a full-scale confrontation with China, brings down sanctions of our level and somewhat changes priorities from Russia to China (waiting for Trump :)), then countries oriented towards China may begin to hesitate and look for other neutral centers, and here we may have a chance (provided: the real development of the country, complete or almost complete import substitution, and the development of technology, in all spheres of life) .... if we have that chance ****** * Then that's it for sure.

        For half of the countries listed, the word "strategy" sounds strange to say the least))) For China, the strategy is for decades, and for the rest, from election to election, if there are no revolutions, now take a look at the geography of the route, there are no transport arteries, not at all , if we consider the long-term option and a forced alliance with Russia (Taiwan is a decision of five years, for Xi for sure). Sanctions will be introduced in any way, the sales market must be provided at a level no less than now. And if we remember that the Earth is round, then this route is more distant than through Russia, and it’s easier to negotiate with us)))

      the ingenious policy of Russia, what can I say, I didn’t think what I would see in my old age.

      There is nothing unnecessary in the world, when you leave something, there will be another interested person for what is left. China, as they say, has long been "trampling the clearing" in Central Asia, but Europe, Canada and the United States still have their own gesheft in the extraction of hydrocarbons, rare earths and other minerals in this region.

      Regarding the so-called. "schemes of the new Silk Road". How long can this fake be spread? It’s still clear for Ukr @ v, they have been jumping with this route for a week already !!! laughing

      German race car driver Rainer Zietlow intends to set a world record by driving 6 thousand km in 12,3 countries, including Uzbekistan, in 11 days. August 7, 2017.
      "The well-known German auto traveler and race car driver Rainer Zietlow intends to set a world record as part of the New Tiguan - Great Silk Road rally." A meeting with him took place on August 7 at the German Embassy in Tashkent.

      According to the press service of the embassy, ​​Rainer Zitlow plans to overcome 12,3 thousand km along the route of the Great Silk Road from Shanghai to Venice in the following 11 countries: China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. About 1000 km of the route will pass through Uzbekistan."

        Fortunately for Russia, China takes its place and not Türkiye or Europe. What did you hope for, if since 1991 in Russia designers and engineers were kept in a black body and supported artists and journalists for their work to denigrate the communist past of the USSR. And yes, they continue to do so. If Russia and its leadership wants to change something, then it should look at the experience of more successful states. I would advise Putin and Mishustin to learn from the positive experience of the DPRK. There, talented young people are brought out from under the influence of lazy people and hooligans. All capable of advanced learning are sent to the best school in a large city or region, where they are provided with better conditions for work and where hooligans can not scoff at either excellent students or bully teachers. If such a student enters a university, then the state provides him tolerably well. Housing, food, access to literature and instruments, uniforms. In many group photos of Kim Jong-un, after successful tests, he is surrounded not by elderly generals and colonels, but by cheerful young people in military uniforms. Kim Jong-un, unlike Putin, prefers to interact directly with scientists and designers, and not through intermediaries in the form of unfortunate managers, who in Russia are often called effective managers for cutting the state budget. These are graduates of North Korean physics and technical institutes and Moscow Higher Technical School. There are much fewer universities there than in Russia, but there are no less Russian ones at the level of physics and technical institutes.

          What did you hope for if since 1991 in Russia designers and engineers were kept in a black body

          Well, thanks, I’m just the same designer and engineer, the institute where I worked was closed as unnecessary (MIEiA, Moscow, Aviatsionny Lane, if anything) and even having lost all hope for the future in my profile, I didn’t emigrate with my family in South Africa - which I was persistently offered in 1989 - so as not to work for the bourgeoisie in my field. So I did so in order not to make my country even worse than it had already done without me. And you know, it worked out, and as a bonus, I got a clear conscience (and not like some of my colleagues who had long given up on Boeing and made a career there) having worked to the limit of what was possible in the industry (until the mid-90s), but with the birth of my second child, it became not at all able and had to leave for "free bread". And about the DPRK ... he was there in 1987, right in his direct specialty (with all his secret and travel restrictions), he helped local specialists localize some of our products (organize production on the spot, as it is called in the old fashioned way). I believe that in many narrow sectors, the DPRK is now noticeably ahead of us. they always treated their "defense industry" with trepidation and did not finance it on a leftover basis, even in the most difficult years for the country. Perhaps now we will have something to learn from them. Well, okay, in the end, thirty years of movement "it is not clear where" also once had to end and our country will have to decide on plans for the future, if it wants to live. In this sense, CBO, although a bitter pill, is definitely beneficial for the patient's health.

          It's nice, of course, to be glad that your place is taken not by the Western world, but by the Eastern one, but what are they hoping for? The fact that he will not offend and threaten much?
          And in such a world, the role of Russia is incomprehensible to me: equality - I do not believe it. I hope ours do not agree to the role of "younger brother", such as Germany, otherwise laughter at its current position in relation to the United States on our part is, to put it mildly, hypocritical.

          PS
          I don’t blame you for anything - China is probably better than the USA (now for sure) and I think you are right that “it’s better”. It's a shame that we have come to such a comparison

And grain deals, gas supplies on the territory of the "enemy" during the period of hostilities, and here the politics. Here are the results!!! How is it, nothing personal? Rave. All this was already visible in 1993 and 2000. The end of the rope is near.

        The countries of Central Asia need help in the form of scientific and technical advice. They are ready to work with those who offer the best conditions. This is by no means Russia. Recently, Russia was offered to cooperate in the production of drones and their delivery to Russia. It was necessary to buy a glider and a motor group in Asia and equip it with Russian control systems and test in Ukraine the operation of 100kg and 250kg bombs on Ukrainian armored vehicles from the resulting drone .. Representatives of the General Staff did not even bothered to talk without a phone. Surely, during a telephone conversation, the United States listened to him and will now try to close the channel for the delivery of drones to Russia.

        Russia absolutely calmly surrenders Central Asia (conquered with considerable bloodshed and actually built by Russia) to China.


        —-Russia cannot surrender Central Asia, because you cannot surrender what you do not possess. Since 1991. The influence on this region remains - the earnings of guest workers, family ties, the remnants of linguistic and cultural ties, military influence, practical economic ties.

        —-“…stans” will continue to milk two queens, China's dominance will increase according to economic, military power. And geography.

        —-Russia has several obvious interests: Baikonur and the naval base at Issyk-Kul. Base in Tajikistan, base in Kant. The CSTO Treaty remains in force. Economic interests also play a role, albeit a minor one.

        —-The role and influence of Russia in the region has been continuously decreasing since 91. This is an inevitable process based on the development of national identity, and there is no point in wringing your hands in hysterics. The rest will be that which does not contradict the interests of Russia and each of the “…stans”. Which inevitably change over time, and in response to regional and geopolitical realities.

          Russia's interest in using the industrial and scientific and technical potential of Central Asia. There is a certain interest on the part of Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Tajiks. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the regulatory bodies of Russia stand as a barrier to such interaction. Let's imagine that Kazakhstan will offer Russia to supply its strike and reconnaissance drones. In this case, their equipment with a control system must be carried out on the territory of Russia. However, the customs of the Russian Federation will allow the import into Russia of no more than 1-2 sets of computers with encryption elements, long-range radio communications and an artificial vision system from China. It is easier to organize the production of drone control systems in Afghanistan from scratch than to obtain a permit for development work in Russia.

Russia has lost the traditions of woodworking and is only able to produce boards and slats on foreign machines. An indicator of the scientific achievements of Tajikistan is the last Kyrgyz-Tajik war. Turkey was even afraid or did not have time to fit in with Kyrgyzstan, which is part of the zone of Turkish interests like Azerbaijan or East Turkestan, the Kyrgyz were so quickly defeated and pacified.

              - as far as I can tell (as a former customs officer with 13 years of experience) - if there is a delivery illegal to us in the Russian Federation instead of exporting to ourselves, then this, as it were, has always been a problem of the Far East. If export and replacement with fake documents on ships without unloading, then this, as it were, is not a special innovation

      And what's so surprising. in relation to the Russian Federation - HOW MUCH money was invested in lovers of "wood carving" of the late 80-90s of the USSR. how many of them "swept out of THEIR house and not desirable" were sheltered and given work. And what!? See the reports of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB of the Russian Federation !!! No. belay feel
      And enjoy reality

      Tajiks demand respect from Russia, Rahmon said right to Putin's face

      “We witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union with you. As now, we were witnesses to the fact that there was no attention to small republics, small peoples. Traditions and customs were not taken into account. They did not support development. belay

      We are not 100 - 200 million. But we want to be respected. Where did we break something? Didn't say hello somewhere? We have always respected the interests of our main strategic partner.We want to be respected. Are we some kind of alien? We don't need a lot of money lol invest.Vladimir Vladimirovich, pI ask you not to have a policy towards the countries of Central Asia as towards the former Soviet Union", belayRahmon emphasized, adding that he asks Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to respect Tajikistan.

      Rahmon was offended that not so long ago he asked Russian ministers to attend a forum in the republic, but only deputies came instead. Which in turn offended the Tajiks No. . If earlier only Tokayev allowed barbs in the direction of Putin, now it has come to the point that the Tajiks have already imagined themselves as a superpower am , and not a country that lives on subsidies all its life crying . At first, they were fed by the Soviet government from the subsidy fund, giving them money from the budget of the RSFSR only because they were national minorities, as if as reparations for the era of colonialism, and now from Russian and transfers of migrants from Russia. Not to mention the ethnic cleansing of Russians in the 90s in Tajikistan, maybe we need to respect them for this? Or for migration crime? fool negative

      Real friendship cannot be bought with money. You can buy only a surrogate of friendship. For money, they will "befriend you", "smile", "support the company, etc. But as soon as you stop giving money, or when friendship with you can bring sanctions to the country. You will be betrayed and sold and they will already speak completely different keys. Especially if everyone sees that despite all the spokes in the wheels that Kazakhstan puts under the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation continues to mumble and this despite the fact that all the countries of the EAEU depend on Russia. crying

      The best tool for influencing Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan will be tightening in obtaining citizenship, the visa regime for migrants, up to the threat of closing the borders. good This should work: the governments of the Central Asian republics themselves would like to get rid of the mass of the hungry population, unable to find work in their homeland. Twenty-year-old excited guys may well arrange another coup, but the southern rulers don’t want to am . Wouldn't it be easier to dump the surplus of radical youth somewhere abroad, especially when migrants threaten Russia from within? bully

      In addition, the economies of the countries of Central Asia are unusually dependent on the earnings of migrants. The Russian Federation has a powerful lever in its hands: by intensifying the fight against migration, Russia is able to bring down the economies of several republics at once. In the East, this is understood, but, having become accustomed to the puppet national policy, they do not believe that such a powerful weapon can be used. bully

      For some reason, the Russian Federation equates its pseudo-allies with itself, respects their personal opinion and does not try to pressure or convince anyone. If we take the same Americans, we will see that they always treat their allies from a position from above, bend their line and criticize those who do not agree with them, acting on the principle: "who is not with us is against us." good bully
      The way the CSTO countries treat Russia really hurts the feelings of most citizens of the Russian Federation, it is time to show who is the boss in the house and not be mattresses, otherwise the "partners" will start to wipe their feet about the Russian Federation wassat . We need to be realistic, given past experience, it is unlikely that anything will change in this direction in the near future. good hi

        You have the wrong idea about getting a job in China. Do you think it's like in Russia? I personally had the opportunity to work in China for almost two years in 2012-2013. What I personally went through: you fly to Singapore. There you pass a medical examination and receive a temporary visa to China. Upon arrival in China, you first go through an interview in the employment department, and the most important thing here is that there are no Chinese applicants for this profession and position. This is how they protect their labor market. Then an interview with the police, then you go through a medical examination again and get a medical passport that allows you to find a job. Then just apply for a work visa. Wait two weeks. If everything is fine, then they put a work visa in the passport and you can work. That's it. And that was then. And now, after covid and the introduction of the social rating system, I don’t even know what kind of system there is for the employment of foreigners ....

            There is no father-king in Canada because Canada is ruled by King Charles III, who is also the current British monarch. Canada is a very expensive and backward country, 70% of which (the Canadian north) is practically uninhabited. Bribery and corruption thrive in Canada (take an interest in the history of the mayors of Montreal, Applebaum and others). Only a Ukrainian preparing for emigration can write about the high standard of living in Canada. Canada is full of expats who live the lives of second-class people. And yes, the faces of the Canadian deputies will seem unusual at first. Indeed, everything is human, with one amendment - not for everyone. Just like everywhere else, right?


            What you wrote here (it’s even hard to call writing) is the fruit of a sick imagination. I have lived in Canada for 7 years and I responsibly declare that everything you wrote here has nothing to do with Canada. I start with nonsense that supposedly Canada is ruled by King Charles III (by the way, does he even rule England himself or not?) And I end with the same nonsense, emigrants are like second-class people there.

            And yes, there is corruption. But if you read what Canadian corruption is and compare it with the corruption of even some petty official in Uryupinsk, you just roll with laughter. Recently, some mayor of Canada was convicted for corruption. It turns out that he used bonus cards of accumulative points from the bank card of a civil servant for himself. This is something like the Pyaterochka card, where some pennies or discount bonuses are dropped onto the card for the purchase of products.

          How they live in Canada without all this - I still have no idea.

          I explain how. Canada is one of the few countries (Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, and partly Sweden, other countries of "democracies" also have the same system, but it is very limited for various reasons and therefore does not work as efficiently) that managed to organize the influence of voters on those whom they elected through a "vote of confidence" (or "no confidence") system. A year after the election, the elected person reports to the voters what he fulfilled from his promises, or why he did not. Voters have their registration number on a site similar to our "Gosuslugi" express their confidence or not confidence in this deputy. If a certain number of "do not trust" is typed, then the deputy or any elected person will be re-elected ahead of schedule. That's how it works.
          But this is in terms of control over the elect. But the appointed officials in Canada, this is still that song, some will give odds to Russian officials in terms of corruption and lawlessness. In addition, there are very strong bureaucratic costs. In general, Canada is a state with a greatly overestimated quality of life by foreigners. The so-called "native Canadians" live there well, who are not subject to dismissal and have worked out a corporate pension. For those who came and live less than 25 years, it is not very sweet.

            This system is justified when evaluating the activities of city mayors, but not deputies. As far as I know, this system is advisory, not mandatory. How can, for example, a representative of a party that is in the minority in parliament or municipality fulfill its promises? As far as I understand, in Western countries a deputy is primarily a legislator. And, by the way, in most Western countries it is always emphasized that even a member of parliament elected from a single-mandate district is a representative of the entire nation, and not just his district. And when making decisions, he is not bound by the will of the voters. The only restriction is that they will not vote for the party or deputy next time. If there are bicameral parliaments, then the deputies of the upper chamber defend regional interests there. Although, for example, American senators, although they are elected by the population of the states in the amount of two people, regardless of the size of the population, deal with issues of national importance, and not what we usually call regional politics.

          That's just the majority of deputies in the Canadian parliament and provincial parliaments, as, by the way, and American congressmen and senators, sit for several terms. There are also dynasties of politicians. And, by the way, a lengthy, sometimes over several convocations, discussions of some bills and reform plans is just such a not-so-good tradition that came to us from the West. The British Parliament is especially famous for this. There, for several years, they can discuss the question of not even how to carry out this or that reform, but the question of its very expediency. Which does not change the fact that sometimes in the USA, Canada, Britain and other countries, some laws that are necessary for the executive branch or large corporations, or when it is urgent to raise the rating of the ruling parties before the elections, on the contrary, are adopted in record time. Everything is dictated by political necessity.

        To measure success by population .... debatable.

        In the same RSFSR (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) there were only 147 million people (in 1989 ... and even less at the time of the formation of the union), and yet we were able to unite other countries and create the USSR (293 million people), although many times more people lived in the West.

        There are also successful examples of small countries with small populations... that have achieved high standards in terms of living standards, education, economy, and so on. (of course, almost all of them are connected with the West, but nevertheless ... you can again return to the example of the RSFSR). So the question is not in the population (although this is very important, especially in our time), but in the management system and those personnel who are at the helm.

      Putin, as a politician and leader, has shown himself quite advantageously in the last 2 years. Compare even the first year and a half of the NWO and the first year and a half of the Great Patriotic War under the leadership of I.V. Stalin. The comparison will not be in favor of Stalin. The Germans, according to the diaries of Goebbels, by December 1941 lost only 200 people killed. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are secret, but they most likely lost more dead by April 000 than the Germans in 2023 months of World War II. Forecasters by June 27 predicted the collapse of the Russian economy and a complete halt of road transport in Russia due to Western sanctions. The predictions did not come true. So far, everything is working out for Putin. Mishustin will apparently be able to successfully replace him and will already interfere in industry, the economy and key international negotiations.

      about NWO, the thought arose, but what if this was all started by the West in order to block China's paths to the West? Crazy idea. But in the light of this summit ...

      But what if, on the contrary, the NWO was started not by the States, but by China? More precisely how. The Ukrainian conflict itself is definitely produced by the West in order to create a permanent point of tension on the Russian border - that's for sure. And I believe the Kremlin has always understood this, but in view of the general orientation of our economic model and the elite to the West, they could not do anything about it, and, to be honest, they didn’t really want to, preferring to silently agree to a conditional freeze of this conflict. And here the question arises: why, after 8 years of uncontested Minsk agreements, the leadership of the Russian Federation nevertheless set a course for direct confrontation? After all, many understood (remember Naryshkin's reaction at the Security Council) that holding an NVO means deliberately falling into a pre-prepared trap. And yet, not only did we not evade this fate, but rushed to Golgotha, created personally for us, with a zeal worthy of the best imitation. The question is: why do we need it? In the leadership of the country that polls are sitting without exception, some clinical idiots? Don't think. Just do not think that I have a high opinion of the cognitive abilities of our political elite - there are more than enough mediocre leaders, but we must admit another thing - there are no outright suicides there either. But then why, please explain to me, to take this largely adventurous and voluntaristic step?

      So I reasoned until I saw how Chinese diplomacy sits the leaders of the Middle Eastern states at the negotiating table. And here the picture, as they say, has developed.

      What is the main problem of the new silk road? A large number of participants, which is quite difficult to bring to a common denominator and consensus on existing interstate contradictions. Plus, the internal instability of individual state entities. However, all this is somehow solved if China is ready to take on possible risks. And China, as we see also from Roman's article, is ready to take this step. Moreover, China is ready not only to fill everything with money, but also to ensure the direct military security of its investments. However, the Chinese would not be Chinese if they put all their eggs in one basket, leaving their economic well-being at the mercy of such rather unstable and independent partners as the leadership of Iran or Turkey. Thus, the idea of ​​creating an alternative route of the Silk Road project was born, which is necessary to increase the successful functioning of the main branch, as well as to reduce potential pressure on China from the countries participating in this project, which would lose their monopoly position due to the presence of an alternative.

      By the will of fate, only Russia can provide such a backup route.

      In fact, there are a lot of advantages from the transit of a significant part of Chinese goods through the territory of the Russian Federation. Let's start with the fact that paving the way through the territory of the Russian Federation, there is no need to build a complex system of relationships between differently directed subjects of the world political community. Everything is quite simple here. Compare for yourself what is better: to build relations with more than a dozen states, constantly settling their internal squabbles, or to negotiate with just one fairly stable and negotiable player. The choice is obvious. The second undoubted bonus: the high security of this highway, which does not need to be provided by the PLA units and which will be difficult to cut through direct military intervention. Plus, the already existing sufficiently developed transport logistics, which does not need to be created anew (although with the capabilities of the Chinese industry, this is not the biggest problem).

      For the Russian Federation, this project also brings many bonuses: firstly, it allows you to reorient economic flows, reducing dependence on the West, and secondly, in such situations, Russia becomes something like an official looking after Europe on behalf of China. It would seem, everywhere you look solid pluses. But with all these positive aspects, there is one serious minus - thanks to the buffer zone created by the US from the territories of Ukraine and Poland, the Russian Federation has practically no direct access to the European market, which is key for Chinese industry. Apparently, the SVO should have solved this problem, and the Russian leadership apparently received permission for it from its Chinese partners during the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.

      And here the Chinese made a very big mistake. They believed in the coolness of Mr. President of Russia and the armed forces of the Russian Federation. And it's hard to blame them. After all, just a month before, the Russian army, in the course of a brilliant military operation, successfully approved a Chinese temnik as the leader of Kazakhstan. I believe the Chinese leadership sincerely believed that the Ukrainian elite was waiting for the same thing. That is why China was almost the only state that did not evacuate its embassy from Kyiv at the beginning of the NWO. However, the Chinese greatly overestimated the mental abilities of the senior command staff and the cleanliness of the political elite of the Russian Federation, and also underestimated the ability of Ukrainians to resist and the willingness of the West to support this conflict. As a result, instead of forming a backup sustainable route for the movement of Chinese goods to Europe, China received an intense military conflict on the periphery of this very Europe, which led to a significant reduction in the purchasing power of the citizens of the Schengen zone and to general economic instability, which greatly aggravated the situation of the already unsuccessful really recover from the covid restrictions of the world economic system. That is why China had to urgently build bridges between the leaders of Iran, Syria, Turkey and the AOE.

      In fact, with the Chinese model of the new great silk road, approximately the same thing happened as with the Russian gas export system: after the destruction of the northern streams and the introduction of an embargo on the supply of gas liquefaction equipment, Russia has no choice but to continue to drive gas through the territory of Ukraine, which again became a monopoly in this matter. So China now depends entirely on the benevolence and good neighborly relations between the countries through which it is planned to pass its main trade highway. All this will require from him simply an incredible amount of resources and significant costs, which it is unlikely that he will be able to cover at the expense of the end consumer, because the same Europeans, other things being equal, will simply prefer Chinese handicrafts to their own or American ones. As a result, all the costs will inevitably fall on the shoulders of China itself, which not only does not contribute to attracting additional investment, but also significantly reduces the likelihood that China will be the first to decide on a conflict, because in the event of a naval blockade, which randomly coincides with the chain of color revolutions in Central Asia, which does not allow stopping them all at once, China runs the risk of being left without markets altogether. This means that whether Beijing wants it or not, it is the United States that retains the right to deliver a preventive strike against its main economic opponent in the short term, and not vice versa.

        Just looking - who benefits from the problems that arose as a result of SVO
        RF - not profitable
        EU - not profitable
        The United States is profitable, since competitors of US goods are being killed and the industry has also begun moving to the United States, oil and gas can be sold at elevated prices in the EU.
        China - there are pluses and minuses ... but competitors in Europe are definitely dying, the Russian market is redirected to China with purchases, while its own industrial development in the Russian Federation is difficult because of the sanctions, and therefore again China starts either supplying goods or equipment. Oil and gas have become cheaper, you can still get an additional discount from the Russian Federation, because where is the Russian Federation going to go !!!! And you can sell your goods in the Russian Federation and at a higher price - where will the Russian Federation go!??!?
        Russia can be said to be on the hook for China !!!
        If China is closed at the same time, then what will the Russian Federation do???? Yes, it will be creepy!!!
        If we have 40% of our trade turnover with China, we will have a disaster.

        So not only the USA are the beneficiaries of the NWO !!!! Here and CHINA warms hands to the fullest!!!!

        Quote: Dante
        And here the question arises: why, after 8 years of uncontested Minsk agreements, the leadership of the Russian Federation nevertheless set a course for direct confrontation?


        Because it was impossible to delay further .... the situation worsened worse than ever, and it began to get out of control, and carried serious risks for the security of the Russian Federation (cleansing of Donbass, and the capture of Crimea), and then (after the loss of Crimea) they could very bad processes start....

        Mistakes were made elsewhere..... Our "wise men" overestimated their capabilities. In addition, the control system turned out to be inefficient. tied to the decisions of one person (V.V. Putin) and he is very slow in making key decisions (in 2014 the story with Donbass and Ukraine could have ended, but they outwitted themselves), + there is a problem of nepotism and clan interests .... when the highest positions are occupied not by effective specialists, but by friends / associates who are not very good in their place. and no one canceled the clans .... maybe due to the development of a consensus between all the elites, and such a slow action is taking place ....

        + and the most important problem ... the system does not recognize errors). As Prigogine said there, in Russia there are 2 realities, one is a TV picture, the other is real, this is it.

        + The West turned out to be very good, in terms of the speed of decision-making and the effectiveness of the management system ...

        + They figured out and outplayed our leadership in many situations. And in our country, unfortunately, it’s not the intellectuals who make decisions, but the athletes .... although there are really smart people in the government (the same Mishustin), and there are real patriots (for example, Prigogine), etc.

        And as for the PRC, this story with the NWO did not give up to them at all. because there were problems with the EU, disagreements began in trade / in the political field, + a united Europe is not very good for the PRC, it is harder to negotiate with it, especially under the control of the Anglo-Saxons .... and so they single-handedly processed the countries of the West, and here such a nuisance .

        Pro-American Ukraine did not give up to them either. Before the NMD, China was the largest trading partner of Ukraine, invested in its economy, etc. (and could well, over time, intercept influence from the United States).

        Of course, from this conflict, they got on well (a weakened Russia is a good prize), but in general they are used to acting differently .... they have a different way of thinking, here are intrigues, behind-the-scenes struggle, recapture of influence, etc. this is their theme. They are quite successful even without all this history (SVO), they are implementing their policy ... and so they had to make adjustments, and implement some processes faster.

          It's just that the Chinese have studied the experience of the collapse of the USSR. They succeeded in stifling separatism in the bud in Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet and East Turkestan. Moreover, the Chinese attached exceptional importance to the fight against separatism, and even somewhere in the 1960s they agreed to cooperate with Israel in the fight against Islamic nationalism and extremism. In Turkey, for example, Russian citizens are prohibited from issuing a residence permit for about a year. But if you have Uyghur roots, then a residence permit will be issued and even the prices for rent will be reduced to the level of low-income Turkish citizens. Moreover, civil servants, having learned that you are a Uyghur, will advise you to consider yourself a purebred Turk and treat you as a born Turk (if you behave like a Turkish patriot in response).

      ... The main thing for this country is trade. I do not think that this is detrimental to our country ...

      Dear Nikolay Malyugin.
      I do not agree with this statement of yours.
      The first - according to the thesis: "The main thing for this country is trade." For any country, trade with other countries is an important component for economic development. Trade is penetration into the territory of another country: expansion of the sales market for their goods, hence the development of domestic industry, an increase in jobs in production, etc. Remember how, with the help of trade, after the collapse of the USSR, industry was destroyed on the territory of Russia, namely: aviation, machine-tool building, electronics, etc.
      The second - according to the thesis: "I do not think that this is detrimental to our country."
      You are wrong. It's detrimental. Even as detrimental to Russia. With further trade expansion of China, the market for our country in the territories of Asian countries will be limited. And if China invests its resources in the development of the industry of these countries, then this sales market will be completely lost for Russia.

Yes, to the "argument" that capitalism is not an ideology, you will hear the answer that communism is also not an ideology. But both formations have an ideology, and the other.

                        do not be offended, but this is a primitive reasoning - do you think the ideology is either communism or capitalism? these are just forms of economic organization in society ... and your favorite dialectical materialism is present here and there ... it's just that the capitalists were able to "defeat" the communists due to the imperfection of the person himself

    Thirdly, Passing goods through so many countries is absolutely not profitable. The composition will have to be stopped at each border and each of the countries to pay.

    Well, the last. All these "Silk Roads" bypassing Russia have existed for a couple of decades. But they were never popular. And they will not use it, it is absolutely not profitable. If there will be cargo going there, it will be only because there are not enough ways in Russia. ALL.

    Yes, China is simply brazenly buying loyalty to itself. Putin and his friends are all worried that their people will live richly. Afraid to spend extra money. We treat children throughout the country, we supply our army. With such money as that of "friends" it is not necessary to build palaces, yachts, but to buy the loyalty of all these Asias with Ukraine together. They have already stolen a hundred generations ahead, so it's time to think about the country, the people. No, it's not enough! Soon all this Asia will move to Moscow and Russia, and China will clean up the territory. For some reason, this Asia does not run to China to earn money, and China is in no hurry to create jobs for them. And Putin, "good soul", and citizenship, and work, and Russians in the NWO, in a meat grinder.
    Therefore, we are not up to these projects. Finish the SVO and restore the LDNR, which they themselves gouged. I won't say anything about Ukraine. Putin has a thin gut, attach it all, and who will allow him!!!

    This is where the essence of the Chinese "partner" comes into play. The question is, what is Central Asia for Russia today? It is clear that Kyrgyzstan is a storehouse of minerals, it is possible to build several interesting energy facilities - perhaps on mutually beneficial (although I doubt, rather for nothing) conditions, and then what? The loss of transit is painful, but not critical .. paradoxical as it may seem, but the United States can help Russia - if China is drawn into the Taiwanese "operation" and especially if it drags on.

Our worthless impotents cannot show their character, seriously give dill in the NWO and, in general, engage in industry, science and the economy, but only strongly condemn and show gestures of goodwill. It’s better to let China increase its influence there, because the Americans, the Turks with their Turkic world are now actively approaching Central Asia, and even Macron has frequented those regions (and where else can he go if Wagner shamefully kicked him out of Africa?). And this is extremely unprofitable for us, and even more so for China, because who else needs a potential hot spot at hand. So it's better to let them. Well, our impotent people deserve it.

    Here we must blame ourselves and ask ourselves the question: what can we offer them?. Yes, nothing but cheap energy and the market for their products.

    What can China offer? It offers colossal state-of-the-art infrastructure projects, hydro-irrigation projects, huge logistics hubs, linking nodes of economic opportunity, and much more. Look at YouTube what China is creating in developing countries, jaws just drop. Something similar, maybe not on such a scale, was created in the developing countries of the USSR.

    This is the answer to the question: why the former fraternal countries are fleeing from Russia in two directions - either China or the EU.
    Build Singapore instead of Russia, and then not only Ukraine will return, but half of Europe will want to enter into an alliance with Russia. But so far, in 23 years, they have built such that even the citizens of the country, at the first opportunity, flee to live in other countries.

          Do not confuse warm with soft, you turn on the logic) Russia is not a puppet state. A puppet state is a state with low sovereignty, which pursues a policy such as the owner needs. To be more precise, they provide other people's interests to the detriment of their own. Russia, even in the harsh 90s, was not such - 3-4 points out of 10 the country had sovereignty. Yes, everyone drank to please the Americans, but even then
          they had graters with them. Color revolutions are not carried out against puppets and hot spots like Chechnya are not arranged around, as was the case in the 90s, because why in a puppet state overthrow your own puppet regime?)))))
          You are probably confusing the actual puppet state (low sovereignty) with the desire of the elites to live beautifully and not really strain their brains. These are completely different concepts. Our puppet state would be if Navalny came, or other people who suit the United States. Then it would be a puppet, and most likely the Americans would slowly push the country onto the path of a battering ram against China. And so - we just have quite sovereign elites, they promote and protect their interests. It's just that these interests do not really coincide with the interests of the people. Again, to clarify: personal
          The interests of these people are higher than the national interests. But this, sorry, is a completely different story, and has a little less than nothing to do with sovereignty as a whole. Any political scientist with a higher education will explain this to you on the fingers.

            So after all, at first there was a color revolution, it was in the sovereign USSR, and only then sovereignty was lost. Chronology of events. And Chechnya. it's just a rip off of the most banded part of the country. The influence of the Freemasons on the creation of the situation with Chechnya is minimal. If at all it was inspired by them initially. It's just that banditry was rolling in a wave throughout the country, as a result of creating a breeding ground for it - the initial accumulation of capital. And yet our so-called elite is being held by the throat with a stranglehold. For "their interests" they can butt heads only on the length of the measured chain. From that, everything is so indistinct, in the alleged confrontation with the West. Having destroyed the real system of confrontation, they automatically found themselves in the global system. And there is only one owner. Their sovereignty is formal, like that of all countries on the planet. Because globalism. Finances and the imposed model of the economy dictate how to equip life, and the Internet does not make it possible to blur the problem. Sooner or later it will explode. And without any bulk, by itself. In the XNUMXth century, it was simpler, drove troublemakers to hard labor, destroyed the printing house, with a left-wing newspaper and plundered the treasury.

    We lost the Central Asian republics during the collapse of the USSR. Dot. Crying is useless.
    Given the speed with which they returned to the feudal state, trying to bring them back is like running against the escalator. It is possible, but it requires a lot of effort and resources.
    The regions are frankly subsidized, the population is wild, illiterate (judging by guest workers). I won’t give a well-known plate on income / expenses in the USSR, everyone saw it. If China wants to play progressives, which I highly doubt, let them try. Flag in hand.

      You have very approximate ideas. Type at least a photo of Ashgabat in the search engine. Until recently, gas for the population there was free. Plus about 700 liters of gasoline per family per year. Mortgage 1%. And all this at the expense of gas and cotton. 95% of the territory of Turkmenistan is desert.

This is me to the fact that not all of Turkmenistan lives in Ashgabat. The Russian Federation mines like Saudi Arabia, and the population is 4 times larger, plus the climate is such that a significant amount of the cost of heating the "atmosphere" goes up.

There are no oligarchs in Turkmenistan, around whom the whole country dances, and all income goes to the state treasury. And besides oil, there are many other resources in Russia that go exclusively to football clubs in Monaco, yachts with a displacement greater than the Russian Navy, and villas in proxy enemy countries.

                        Above, "the same statements" exist within the context, then - outside of it.
                        Therefore, the "parsing" did not work out for you. And it won't work. Don't torture yourself.

                        The Russian Federation mines like Saudi Arabia, and the population is 4 times larger, plus the climate is such that a significant amount of the cost of heating the "atmosphere" goes up. It's just that behind the mantra "about the richest country" they forgot about the population and the climate in which we live

                        What is in Saudi, what (to a lesser extent) in the Russian Federation, the basis of budget revenues is oil (or oil and gas, as in the Russian Federation). Therefore, talking about "other income" seemed redundant to me. Objections, additions?

                        Stop juggling with your tongue. It was about the distribution of income, and the number of inhabitants, to which this income is supposed to be distributed. So, in Saudi only citizens (indigenous people) have benefits from these incomes. Expats do not have such benefits. As I said, exactly to justify the ratio of the population of Saudi and the Russian Federation:

                        Who showed this undertaking as a reply to Boris Sergeev, to whom you replied in the same message as Vladmimru80. They answered by throwing out an inconvenient message about other income items, except for those received from oil revenues, out of brackets
                        What is in Saudi, what (to a lesser extent) in the Russian Federation, the basis of budget revenues is oil (or oil and gas, as in the Russian Federation). Therefore, talking about "other income" seemed redundant to me. Objections, additions?

                        1) And what is the "basis" of the budget? How much is this in percentage? 75% like the SA for oil, or 40% like the Russian Federation for oil. Are you saying that it seemed to you that the basis of something could be something that takes up less than half of the structure? Well, this is the level, of course.
                        2) And why is it necessary to consider budget income, and not national wealth (or at least national income)? Because it is more convenient to pull an owl on a globe in a specific manipulation?
                        Budget revenue will only show the budgetary policy of the state, which will correlate with how much the state receives less funds that could be used for the development of the country.
                        Stop juggling with your tongue. It was about the distribution of income, and the number of inhabitants, to which this income is supposed to be distributed.

                        Again decided to consider out of context? Oh well. "These incomes" go not only to cover the benefits of citizens. Or will you tell me that 75% of the budget goes to benefits? wassat
                        Yes, among the "non-indigenous" there are not only poor Pakistanis who cannot utter a word. Lamborghini "to use", for example, for engineers from Russia at the time of work, is not a wonderful miracle.
                        Where is the manipulation, dear?

                        No. This is because the benefits that the inhabitants receive (in the same Saudi, here, caught my tongue) are a derivative of the state budget. The national income and - "-- wealth - nervously smoke on the sidelines. This, you see, is not real money, you can’t organize for it ... but at least free medicine ... you can’t organize anything for them at all.

                        The answer is what is related to the question. In case you didn't know or forgot.
                        The basis of the budget is something without which you can ... forget about the budget. Both Saudi and the Russian Federation are similar in this regard - the basis of the budget is oil (and gas in the Russian Federation).

                        And therefore, can the difference in the balance of the budget of 25% equate to 60%? Why did you choose to ignore it? But the difference is 4 or 6 - no. As such approach is called, I sounded in the very first message.
                        The national income and - "-- wealth - nervously smoke on the sidelines. This, you see, is not real money, you can’t organize for it ... but at least free medicine ... you can’t organize anything for them at all.

                        lol
                        National income - not real money? Is it true? And I thought it was a sinful thing that this is the source from which the state fills the budget through taxes and fees. And the extent to which the national income is transformed into budgetary funds depends on the policy of the state. Do not agree?
                        National wealth cannot be excluded from consideration. If only because over the centuries of existence, Russia has accumulated much more than the SA, which until the 1950s was a godforsaken area.
                        About nothing. These are purely corporate jokes. It has nothing to do with government policy. And to "national wealth" - too.

                        To national wealth - the most immediate, this conditional Lamborghini, a grain (non-financial asset), which, together with other grains, constitute national wealth.
                        But this car drives on roads that are maintained at the expense of the budget and refueled with gasoline, the cost of which is subsidized from the budget, and the protection of the compound where it will stand is also paid from the budget. And it does not depend on who is driving it, indigenous or not. If an expat does not receive direct income, this does not mean that he costs zero for the budget. Any private trader working with a budget will transfer his expenses for qualified expats to the budget. And insurance, and the same Lamborghini. wink

                        Similarly, the basis of the budget for the Russian Federation is oil and gas revenues. For Saudi - oil. Everything is simple.

After all, when it turns out that the national income is preferable when comparing countries in determining the reserve of funds that the state can have to direct to the social sphere, rather than just the budget, then it will become clear that the manipulation is just your selection of the particular from the general.

                        And why do you compare the SA and the Russian Federation, only on the basis of the amount of oil produced per capita? Such a comparison will not show how much the state can allocate per capita.
                        - at the same time, the ratio of possible benefits for the indigenous population of Saudi is 6 times greater than for the population of the Russian Federation

                        No. The national income per capita in the SA is 46 thousand dollars, in the Russian Federation it is 32 thousand dollars. Therefore, the ratio of POSSIBLE goods is 1,4, not 6.

                        The national income of the SA is 1 billion dollars, of which the budget receives 661 billion dollars, or 257% of the national income.
                        The national income of the Russian Federation is 4 billion dollars, of which the budget receives 680 billion dollars, or 343% of the national income.
                        You definitely dare to say that the funds in the amount of another budget in the Russian Federation have nowhere to spend?

    This plan actually creates a shorter route to Europe for the Asian countries of the region. There is only one nuance, completely unimportant for them, but important for us - the path lies around Russian territory.
    If we consider the material presented in the article only from one side, then for Russia it seems to look sad, but there is a nuance - the path to Europe passes through 11 countries. Russia is now building its own trade route from China to Europe and this is the well-known Northern Sea Route and it passes through 1 country. There is also a third route from China to Europe and it lies through the Suez Canal, and many have already forgotten about the Somali pirates, who caused a lot of trouble for merchant ships. And now let's sum up, which route is safer and cheaper to transport goods to a merchant from China to Europe, I think it's obvious. But in China they are not fools, and they don’t want to sit down on one route, and therefore they are working out alternatives, here, as they say: “The owner is a gentleman.”, China has extra money, let it invest in Central Asia, these are new jobs, everything is better, how will the British and Americans propagate all sorts of religious extremist movements and cultivate drugs. hi

        The more routes there are, the better, the fact that there are many ports along the Suez trade route is only because this route has been operating for a very long time, and all the relevant infrastructure has been adjusted to it.

Carry out large-scale deportations of "labor" migrants to their homeland, block transfers of funds, conduct a large-scale check on the legality of obtaining citizenship for immigrants from Central Asia, deprive citizenship of those who do not at least slightly correspond to deportation without the right to re-enter.
    Change the entry procedure when only the presence of an invitation from a specific employer will be the basis for entry.
    And when millions of "highly qualified" "specialists" flock to their sunny homelands, and money transfers dry up, the minds of the Central Asian bais will immediately brighten up.

Last year they went to South Korea (for a working day at 8 o'clock they were able to bring an average of 100 dollars to Moscow by South Korean mail), this year they are going to Morocco. Cheap labor power will not be superfluous both in Europe and in the Arab monarchies. People from Central Asia go to Russia because of the preserved cultural ties, which are becoming weaker.

    First, we would have looked at how the State Department would have squirmed if their ancestors had guessed at one time to give the Indians national autonomous republics with the right to exit instead of reservations. Secondly, China will not be able to subjugate Central Asia just because the Asians are generally incapable of unions and alliances. Otherwise, they would have united long ago and beat all the oppressors. And thirdly, Central Asian bays do not need Chinese yuan for nothing, even if the yuan becomes the most convertible currency in the world. They only need glass beads and green papers.

    I remember a recent story when a tanker caused a blockage in the canal, because of which even stock prices for oil went up.
    And I suspect that in such a situation, the Egyptians, if they have not raised the fee for passage through the canal, will raise it in the near future. Well, the laws of business, if demand goes up...

    In Soviet times, China has already helped the United States to bring down the USSR. Now, probably, there is one plus - that the native parasites will fall off from Russia. After all, our rulers still support these parasites, including non-refundable loans. It is necessary to carry out active work to remove the remnants of the Russian-speaking population from these non-states and to sharply limit the admission of migrant workers to Russia. And, God forbid, to conclude any military alliance with China. And evade any military aid to China.

      First, because the Chinese do not like the cold. They don’t live much in their own north of China, especially since they won’t live in Siberia, even if they are invited.

    In fact, the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, openly offered the former Soviet republics that are members of the EAEU, the CSTO and other letter combinations, a real military bloc.

    Military alliance of China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.


    The fact that Central Asia goes under China was clear a few years ago, the only benefit from this union for Russia is to agree with China on the return to Russia of the northern regions of Kazakhstan cut off from Russia during the formation of the Kazakh SSR

    I watch videos from the Chinese channel (I subscribed because of the best military correspondent 2022 Maslak). I have long understood that they attract Central Asia. Their propaganda works. The main thing is pouring money and money into our neighbors. RF doesn't work that way.
    In the short term, this is better for us than the influence of Turkey or the West. In the long run, this is a minus.
    A few years ago I was driving with an elderly Uzbek woman in a car. We talked, she came to us in Siberia, to see relatives. According to her, all smart and promising young people left for China, the salary and prospects are good. Only those who have strong family ties or "losers" come to us, to Russia.

    It will be hard for China, they practically didn’t participate in any conflicts, they imposed a few sanctions, and look what happened, they didn’t yell at the whole world - this is a fact ... it was a heavy blow for China ... Even now nothing will happen to Taiwan , they won’t do anything ... They have heard enough of Chinese warnings ... and there will be a lot of weapons there! And they won't play war, that's 100%. And if something happens to Comrade Xi, then the division of China will begin ... and this is the curtain.

      China in the 20th century was at war with almost all of its neighbors. in 1950-1953, hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers fought against the Americans in Korea. Generals from the PRC in that war also led the battles in Vietnam in 1979 and then demonstrated knowledge of modern tactics. Damansky in 1969, the Chinese were able to capture and hold under massive shelling. In 2014-2015, Chinese special forces successfully fought in Myanmar. Then the PRC managed to defend the rights of the Chinese minority in this country. And then the pro-American government was overthrown in Myanmar. By the way, then Russia supplied about 20 drones to correct the work of the Burmese artillery on the Chinese and not Strelkov to defend Slavyansk.

    In Russia, the president is too cautious and unhurried, without a specific instruction from which not a single serious issue is resolved. Here is Medvedev, a member of the Security Council, a former president, but he plays the role of Zhirinovsky, who at most led the second or third party faction in terms of the number of seats in the Duma. That is, in fact, it does not solve anything, but only voices someone's "secret" thoughts.

      And so it was. Chinese firms were ready in 2014 to invest fabulous funds in Russia. Only one of the firms allocated exactly 1 billion yuan for these purposes. But Russia ignored its products. The Russian mining complex began to buy Chinese frequency converters only at the end of 2023, when Schneider completely sold out the stocks of frequency converters brought to Russia in anticipation of the aggravation of the conflict in Ukraine. Prior to this, the leadership categorically forbade the use of Chinese technology.

    If everything is presented in a minor key, it will look minor. No, I do not argue, for national pride these are not very pleasant facts by ear (if you do not understand them carefully) ... BUT!
    This is from which side the results are not optimistic (according to the author)? Let's take a look:

    The EAEU is becoming a fiction, since the new C5+China economic bloc has more prospects than the EAEU, which in the current situation is not very interesting to the participants due to the sanctions against Russia.

    The EAEU was dead. Russia alone bore all the burden of expenses and alone turned the gears of this completely incapable mechanism.

    The CSTO is becoming a fiction as China makes a very "tasty" proposal to organize a new military bloc.

    Yes, and thank God! It was a one-way road anyway! Russia, within the framework of this alliance, solved the problems of everyone with its Armed Forces - and none of the other CSTO members came and will not come to help Russia by military force. Belarus provides good paramilitaristic assistance - but so it does not go anywhere, but remains with us.
    It will no longer be necessary to worry about the fact that the conditional Tokayev is threatened by a lantern on the main square. There he is dear!
    Moreover, if China settles there with a military bloc, then Russia's underbelly will be protected from the Anglo-Saxons, who are our open and fierce enemies, unlike China. Yes, China does only what is beneficial to it - but this is not at all the fact that the Anglo-Saxons are doing everything just to destroy Russia! Yes, Russia's influence in the south will be somewhat lost ... but some dependence on China is orders of magnitude better than the undisguised life danger from the Anglo-Saxons !!!

    However, for some reason, China did not invite Russia to the military bloc or to the construction of the region. Perhaps they are so strong and confident that they can handle it themselves?


    Please note that Kazakhstan is also NOT in the list of participants in the new Silk Road. But Kazakhstan for China is the MOST important and tasty morsel in all of Central Asia. But he was also not invited to the construction site. Oops...
    Do you know why? Because the path is built in the way that is as short and cheap as possible! The author categorically stated: "about new steps in the construction of a railway to bypass Russia ..." But what kind of detour nafig ??? A detour is always a detour and extra kilometers. Yes, just look at the map: a detour is, just, through Russia. It would be through us that a non-figuring hook would turn out!
    Now, if the Chinese wanted to build a road to Northern Europe, they would do it through us. Because it would be shorter and cheaper already through Russia. And neither Uzbeks nor Tajiks would be called. But they are not going to build roads to the north yet.

    In general, do not look for a conspiracy where there is none! Everyone builds in the way that is more profitable and shorter for him. China with Tajiks and other Turkmens are building a continental Silk Road without Russia and Kazakhstan. The Turkmens are building gas pipelines with Kazakhstan and China - without the Kyrgyz and Tajiks. Russia and China are building gas pipelines without Kazakhstan and others .... and the Ice Silk Road (as the Chinese call the NSR) Russia is building one more thing: without Uzbeks, and without Tajiks, and without China. But the author doesn't think that this is a conspiracy against Comrade Xi, does he? laughing

      Kazakhstan does not have an overabundance of population. The Kazakhs have some interest in their diaspora in East Turkestan and strongly sympathize with the Uighurs. At one time, Ospan-batyr was the most stubborn opponent of the establishment of communist power in Northwestern China. China is also waiting for Kazakhstan to transfer the Trans-Ili region to it.

        Ospan-Batyr fell for promises and tried to build an independent state on the territory of Xinjiang. Mao didn't like it. And he agreed to merge the East Turkestan Republic.

    Let them build. If Russia survives the war poorly, the Silk Road bypass will no longer be a problem. And if the empire is suddenly revived, then the same Kyrgyzstan can be taken over and cunning China will wash itself away. How it is now washing with Taiwan.

    If anything comrade. Xi has “got it”, then building parallel routes for the supply of resources and goods, outside the control of the United States, while the tools for “expropriating” standard sea routes are being built up. The Chinese fleet is not so much about Taiwan as it is about the future. Otherwise... why take on the role of a “camel”? They have two textbook examples - the USSR and the USA. An intelligent “person” usually has his own path - following the example of his “ancestors”, taking into account their mistakes and advantages.

    What were we waiting for...

    In the early 70s, the immortal comrade. Kissinger offered China dollars (investments) and access to Western markets (technology) in exchange for anti-USSR. We know what happened to the USSR, which invested billions of money, technology and resources in China...

    After 50 years... China was offered the opportunity to eat up Central Asia, into which, again, the Soviet Russian Federation and post-Soviet Russia invested, built, trained, etc., etc.

    An indicator of such an agreement will be the reaction of the United States and the West.
    If there is no real answer, then it is very alarming

    So soon Siberia and the Far East will offer China to eat for being anti-Russian

    There were so many analysts that now we and China will bring down Western hegemony and begin to divide the world (mind you, we have two-thirds). But in fact, the Chinese began by squeezing out our already ephemeral sphere of influence. This is very reminiscent of the confrontation between the USA and Britain after WWII. The decrepit empire could have resisted the young strong predator for a long time, but, being drawn into an unsuccessful war, it found itself in his complete power. Now China has a very tight grip on us by the... well, by the neck. In a couple of months, without much effort, he can simply collapse everything on us. And, realizing this, the Chinese will demand (and receive) more and more concessions.

      And what? Just then Western hegemony will collapse, because they will no longer be able to compete with China, which receives everything from us for almost nothing. Isn't that what we want?
