Chinese Support Seems to Rankle Some Russians - Break the Fake - TVP World



Russian propagandist Solovyev seems to be cooking up his own version of the Sino-Soviet split. Apparently, old Vlad is very unhappy with how reliant on Chinese tech Russia is becoming, and that the frontline vehicles Russia is using are falling apart quickly precisely because they’re made in China.

each other down, even coming to blows too. Mostly caused by, IMHO, by the personalities of the Soviet Union and China at the time, Mao and the soviet leader. I think there are still simmering differences between the two nations, but one has got to realize that Russia's economy is at most, probably 5% of the size of the Chinese economy. Which probably goes a long way towards why the Chinese naturally are bound the US and its massive economy, vs. the Russian economy, which is smaller than tRUMP's penis. Pres. Obama pointed it out quite well.

Sorry, I had to put the joke in. I want to keep hammering away at the moron. He deserves it.
