There’s tons of intelligence that shows the deplorable state RuSSia is in. The endless lines to get gas for your Lada or Chinese vehicle (Ukr drones destroy oil refineries up to 1000 mls into Rusland) is an indication of what lays ahead. More pain might come when the EU approves NATO and Ukr to use frozen Russian assets ($300 bn) to fight that evil state. Make that Putain and his buddies.
I am surprised to see there’s no BYD in the top 10.
No doubt,you take your information from the CIA and MI6.
