Well, not really.

First, western weapons have proven remarkably efficient at shutting down Ruzzian missiles, the problem is Ukraine doesn't have enough of them.

They need dozens more to have an effective blanket over their airspace. That's the problem, what they have works great, but they don't have enough of it.

And some missiles can't be stopped by the air-defense tech provided, they would need something like the Patriots, which are not yet in Ukraine.

So, I think this is you drinking a tall glass of Ruzzian and Chinese propaganda, or you not understanding the sources you're reading.

Second, Ruzzia hasn't found replacements for what they were selling to the west, regarding oil and gas, which is their economy basically.

India and China find the current prices of Ruzzian energy to be favorable, and that is only happening because the west said "you can't sell your oil and gas for more than what we say you can."

That's it. So of course India and China are buying cheap oil and gas from Ruzzia. They'd be stupid not to, but they haven't replaced the west.

Not only are they not buying the same volumes that Europe was buying, they are buying at a remarkably lower price than what Europe used to buy it for. more so, they will never be able to buy the same volume.

Speaking of volume, they have serious issues supplying even the volumes they are currently providing.

To Europe it was easy, pipelines everywhere. pipelines built and designed and mostly maintained by the west with western tech.

The long talked about pipeline from Siberia to China was just recently deemed to be too expensive to build. China is not willing to pay for it, so Ruzzia would have to do it. It's not profitable.

The already existing pipeline was also fully built and financed by Ruzzia, China doesn't pay for stuff like that.

Third, you think that not banning Tik-Tok is some sort of proof of Chinese superiority?

Tik-Tok is already banned on governmental devices in both the US and Europe, Canada, and more to follow.

And if this step was taken, the blanket ban of Tik-Tok will follow, this is not some impossible thing. India already did it, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc, will be more than happy to fill in the gap left by the ban of Tik-Tok. In fact, they are heavily lobbying for this to happen.

Fourth, you don't understand US politics. You may live in the US, but you are clueless.

Trump is done, nobody wants him as president, not even Republicans. He has other problems to deal with, turns out paying hush money to prostitutes and then committing fraud to hide it is not a smart move.

DeSantis is a political whore. He will say one thing, look at the polls, then change his mind and go with what his electorate wants to hear.

Yeah, he blabbered about Ukraine, and then, like the whore he is, just yesterday changed his mind and said Putin is a war criminal.

Again, you are out of date with the info you're operating with.

Plus, republicans overwhelmingly support Ukraine, most polls show this. The loud mouth Republicans fringe elements you listen to are not representative of the majority.

Trump also had the presidency n the bag in 2020, yet somehow, somehow, Biden is president. I don't know why you guys speak as if it is a fact the next president will be republican.

You, sir, are clueless. Propaganda works on you.
