Russia and Gazprom are bluffing. Why Germany and China are no longer conducted on the Kremlin blackmail

Gazprom stopped another North Stream turbine. Again. Only if at the beginning of this summer someone was still afraid, today the Russians just got everyone with their switching on and off the pipe. "Thought. We. We from Ukraine we thought it was some geopolitical game, and in fact Kremlin" strategists "behave like a child, which threatens to the evil mom to freeze her ears. Even German government officials have understood everything, demonstrate a winter season without Russian gas.

What happened, where they have such courage? The Kremlin hides the losing in the economy. No wonder macroeconomic information is now strictly classified. It is forbidden to publish information on export and import operations, no data on the inflow and outflow with the economy of our enemy? Let's look at the indirect data. From Russia left (quite or partly) a thousand international corporations. They were responsible for 40% of GDP together.

Another 500,000 Russians, mostly highly educated and rich, left them. Another 5 million Russians have remained out of work as a result of the release of international companies. The automotive industry is close to collapse - the production of SUV "Niva" without airbags will not block the fall in production, which worked another 3. 5 million Russians. In general, at the end of April, the Russian Ministry of Labor published information about 9 (!) Millions of people who "changed working conditions".

The Soviet wording is hidden either the loss of work or the transition to part -time work. Imagine what risks you have to deal with the Russian authorities? Their closest ally - China - already understood everything. Do not take into account political rhetoric, pay attention to the investments of the Celestial. They completely rolled investments in Russia within the megaproject "One Belt - One Way". That's where Germany is clear.
