Finally…
So, the West has imposed financial and technology sanctions. They have threatened third parties with secondary sanctions if they deal with Russia. This has led to positives, such as I heard the Russian government allowed BTC to be used for international trade. Russia still keeps exporting critical raw materials to the West?

I think the problem here, is how neither Russia nor even China is ready for a world without any US or EU economic activity, at least not yet. Because of this, neither really want the West to deteriorate further (just ignore the talking points from the nationalists). I’d say Putin’s and Xi’s ideal would be to have a West, who despite still having some money, won’t be enough of a threat to Russia nor China. The fact that both countries have significant immigrant presence in US and EU may also be a reason…perhaps in a sense, Putin and Xi do care about Western expats or my type of cases, where we came here with our parents when we were still young and shit. The same can’t be said for those anti-Putin oligarchs living in the West or the likes of Falun Gong though.
Then again, as things keep getting crazier and crazier, due to Western elites refuse to fix the economic situation in the West; actually, they want it to be that way while pointing at Russia and China (the latter especially) as the scapegoat, so they won’t face any backlash in their quest to terminate Western middle-class. All of these mean Russia and China for that matter, need to act fast. Right now, there seem to be some significant improvement from Russia and China in these regards, but more need to be done. I mean, if it’s like this, then we better prepare for a complete financial separation with the West. This is difficult but necessary.
