China gonna break its back carrying Russia supply wise.

This isn't even bread and circuses at this point.

It’s discount tea and biscuits, and not very good tea and biscuits at that.

As an Englishman, my disgust is profound and my day is ruined.

Pretty much, they had the Tsars followed by the communists their whole attitude has always been keep your head down and do not get noticed like typical peasants.

It’s much like the Japanese saying, “the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.”

Really?

 

[lloyd007]

Really?

The Chinese throwing in with the Russians would supply them with basically as much ammo as they are able to bring to the front.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

[Marduk]

Sometimes I wonder if Russians are a touch like East Asians. Don’t go against the state, keep your head down, but they are capable of breathtaking levels of passive aggressiveness and malicious compliance.
