1. Congrats to Russia and China for refusing to be ruled from Washington!

2. These people have failed to be united. America with Europe and more countries in Africa damn America is very powerful

3. The Kremlin will no longer be able to hide this. A serious blow to the Russian budget. Will lose billions of rubles. A serious blow to the Russian budget. He will lose billions of rubles.
   A serious blow to the Russian budget. The state treasury will lose billions of rubles. oil prices reduced the price of a barrel of Urals by almost $10 below the level included in the Russian budget. This means one thing – the Russian state treasury will face losses of hundreds of billions of rubles. As economist Yevgeny Suvorov notes, the Russian authorities find themselves in an extremely undesirable situation and it is a "great unknown" what they will do about it.
   The Russian government has estimated oil and gas revenues for this year at 11.5 trillion rubles. However, it will accumulate no more than 11 trillion rubles, say experts from the Gaidar Institute in their review of state finances. "The situation may be adversely affected by the decline in oil prices and the stabilization of the ruble exchange rate at a higher level than in the first half of the year," they write. Lots of problems
   in early September, the price of Russia's export Urals grade of crude oil fell below $60 a barrel for the first time since the beginning of the year, although it was selling at $75 not long ago. and higher. According to estimates published by the Argus agency in mid-September, prices in Baltic and Black Sea ports for a barrel of Urals oil amounted to USD 61-62 compared to USD 70, which the Kremlin included in the 2024 budget. The Russian economy is going to the bottom. experts predict the imminent decline of the Kremlin's power.
   But that's not all. According to the Gaidar Institute, the Russian state treasury may lose 800 billion rubles on non-oil and gas expenses. key sectors of the economy – metallurgy and the coal industry, which have lost their markets due to Western sanctions – are struggling with many problems. as a result, their revenues may be 1.3 trillion rubles lower than expected by the Kremlin – instead of the planned 35 trillion rubles, they may reach 33.7 trillion rubles. Taking into account the fact that the Russian Ministry of Finance increased its spending plan from 36.6 trillion rubles to 38 trillion rubles, the budget deficit may actually amount to 4.3 trillion rubles, economists estimate. This is 2.6 times more than the 1.6 trillion rubles planned by the Russian authorities, and will be one third more than last year. The great unknown
   So far, the Russian budget has not experienced any major problems. In August, the authorities even recorded a surplus of 767 billion rubles. nevertheless, it is difficult for them to hide the fact that oil and gas revenues in August, totaling 768 billion rubles, were 28 percent lower than in July and 20 percent lower. lower than the average of the previous seven months. According to the International Energy Agency, Russia's oil and gas revenues fell by $1.6 billion in August – to $15.3 billion – and were the lowest this year. Even if oil prices stabilize around $60 per barrel, the Russian budget will be in a precarious situation "due to high spending on special military operations," writes Rosbank. Military spending, including weapons, will account for almost 30 percent of all Russian budget spending this year — a record share since the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia's lost decade. This is the Kremlin's greatest illusion – how Russians are paying for Putin's war
   under Russian law, to compensate for falling revenues, the government should tap into the National Welfare Fund. However, it has only 4.8 trillion rubles of liquid funds in reserve, some of which has already been distributed, notes Yevgeny Suvorov, economist at CentroCredit Bank. It is a great unknown what the Russian government will do in the current situation, he says. Since the beginning of the war, the "liquid" cushion of the National Welfare Fund has decreased by almost half. what will the Kremlin do, it will lie and lie as always, just as they said that the military operation would last 3 days 😉 So they will announce on TV from Moscow that everything is fine. This means that every Russian will become financially poorer (apart from dead Russian soldiers and war cripples). this is and was Russia :(. A039

4. Russia has too much power than US.😊

5. South Korea and US doing joint military drill not a thteat?

7. Threat to what? The people of the west? Or just US global domination of the world! And all the so called elites

8. Calling the Sino-Russian Alliance ''The New Axis of Power'' is a matter of perspective.
   From Russia and China perspective, they are the defensive alliance & the West are the AXIS. They feels the threats from the western military power that keeps coming closer to their borders.
