I think that everybody in Russia is resorting to more daily vodka consume than usual given the humiliating situation and the anxiety of what yet to come when the avalanche of sanctions really hit them in the face, even TV presenters like the above shown slightly drunk gentlemen.
China has not got much choice. If they supply Russians with parts, they may be embargoed themselves by Airbus and Boeing et al, which they in turn provide China with various parts, licences and instrument used in their domestically built airliners. Not to forget that a huge number of the aircraft in many airlines operating in China, including the flag carrier consist of Boeing and Airbus ones.As an ally, China is absolutely not reliable. They will sell you in a heartbeat if they start feeling some heat.
I hope that our Pakistani friends are watching carefully and taking some notes. Don't. trust. China.
We are all missing the big picture here. Isolated from the West, Russia’s greatest failure is a massive brain drain that will cripple them in the near future!
Another favor for Russia in this regard… Aviation authorities declare Russian skies is no longer safe for civilian air traffic, so insurance companies revoke all assurances for flights in and out of the country. Airlines that still fly to Russia are canceling their flights to an indefinite date. Irony is that the bear was loosing all hopes in keeping the elite work force back home!Brain drain, starved from the supply of semiconductors, it's economy destroyed. There's many Russia will lose from this war.
Yeah right. Article 5 baby.
