This time, several domestic experts, especially political commissar Jin Canrong, predicted that the situation in Ukraine had turned over, indicating that the vision and way of thinking of domestic experts were only a little stronger than those of ordinary people, and had not yet reached the level of a national think tank.
As early as 2014, after Russia hastily planned Crimea's independence into Russia, Russia did not have any political illusions about NATO and the United States, emptying US debt, promoting international settlement and calling for the local currency of the renminbi, in-depth cooperation with China on energy issues and a large number of gold reserves. Since the Crimean incident, the Russian financial system has prepared everything, even considering the consequences of being kicked out of SWIFT settlement. Russia's domestic Internet has done a disconnection exercise to test the use of an independent Internet system in Russia once the United States blocks the Russian Internet.
So Russia was prepared for future conflicts early on. As for the so-called sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States in Western Europe, Russia has already made a good response, and the West just can't hang on to its face and is just addicted to it. The effect of actual sanctions is irrelevant. Now China and Russia are joining hands with each other back-to-back to counter the United States, so this Russian attack on Ukraine will not drag down Russia, and Russia will not rely on Ukraine. Putin's aim is clear: the demilitarization of Ukraine, the elimination of nato-trained anti-Russian military organizations in eastern Ukraine, the independence of eastern Ukraine, the acting of a buffer zone for Russia, and the de facto neutrality of Ukraine.
