The US also orchestrated bloody terrorist attacks in China through their Uyghur jihadi proxies and China did not directly accuse the US. They are playing the long game.

They have cause to. China can actually weaponize their economic connection with the US. Doesn't work that way for Russia at all. The main loser of the "sanctions" is the EU.

I don’t think so. Perhaps that was the case at first but by now they seem to have resigned themselves to a more or less permanent break with the West. They have reoriented their economy toward the east and i see no indication of any intention to turn back to how things used to be. In fact a lot of Russian officials have said as much. It’s just no longer necessary. The West isn’t the only game in town anymore. In a multipolar world you have options.

Maybe if our government wasn't kicking so hard while reality is dragging it towards industrialization. They still want to sit on a pipe and get fat. And the world isn't so multipolar with that perspective. China And India will buy, but you better believe they will also capitalize on Russia having a very short list of available markets.
