RE:Small WorldLike I said before, The Rus are run by Vikings who have ran Europe for the last 1000 years. There is a reason Russia is the biggest country in the world. Viking bloodlines are deep all over (France, England, Ireland of course Norway and Denmark. even in NA). China your largest trading partner, What sanctions can you really do to Russia if China not involved. Politicains are funny "we will shut Russia down financially". They have been buying real gold for decades. Not sure why they want in Ukraine, I guess they really love their people and the 30% of Russians living in Ukraine are pissed off. But they are all Vikings but they love to scrap.
