1. BRICS….the deal that cuts out the west. Trade with friendly partners.

   Sorry, how many mandarins to the ruble comrade?

   Pcammy, Katie69, Pete1951 from Berkshire, Jumbowannabe, all the rest, where are you?

   Eating mandarins?

   Don’t worry, you won’t catch scurvy as the Ukrs turn you into steaming mince!

2. Mandarin fruits or people? Both China and Russia are capable for both offers

3. Consequences are a bitch

4. Russia’s rolling with mandarins for trade now. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

5. Wonder what Mandarin goulash taste like.?

6. not tangerines?

7. Can people please stop saying the sanctions didn’t do anything now? Pretty please?

8. Staving off scurvy they are

9. America has a giant mandarin they can gladly have

10. This is embarrassing. Reduced to accepting a barter system (2x cows for 1x pig) because one psychopath wants to be the next Peter the Great.

11. Not even clementines… pfft

12. RuZZia is exchanging potatoes for mandarins! 😆

13. Wonder what I can get for a banana.

14. At least they won’t get scurvy

15. So the one thing russian soldiers won’t die from is scurvy. Welcome to the 1600s!

16. Looking forward to the videos that will be posted next week of a huge warehouse somewhere in Russia containing tons of oranges being destroyed by Ukrainian drones.

17. Just like USSR times, kids are getting oranges for Christmas and not an Ipad.

18. Jesus it’s the Moscow flea market

19. Would they take 6 mandarins for 12 vodkas

20. What’s the mandarin to rouble exchange rate?

21. What’s the mandarin-to-Schrute-buck exchange rate?

22. What about clementines and tangerines?

23. The geopolitical version of prison bartering.

24. Who would vitamin C that coming?

    I’ll C myself out the window

25. It sounds like they are trying to buy mandarins for upcoming holidays and paying with barter, rather than the other way around.

    Potato tomato.

26. Russia resort to tried-and-true bartering system but Russia still end up losing.

27. The power of citrus

28. As amusing as this is to me, I do want to know if this is a good deal or not. Any smart/economic people know if mandarins are particularly valuable on the market, and does this actually benefit russias economy?

29. Hopefully they get tons of moldy mandarins.

30. That’s a great way to run a modern economy

31. Faded jaded Mandarins?

32. When are they going to start trading in red paperclips?
