I don't speak Chinese or russian.
that's what I'm told by the people I know who live there.
unlike you lot and your sources they have no reason to lie to me.
So just more BS that can't be backed up...well then that is all I needed to see.
My lot you say...care to clarify that one?
Ah yes unlike Russian media where the truth prevails...gotcha.

like i said.
don't get too distracted by the oil thing.
it's important yes.
but crude is actually only a tiny portion of a very very large global economy. for example china is a coal economy and up until fairly recently Iran was a massive petroleum and plastics importer.
we now live in the days when the most wanted "war criminal" barely left their apartment near the black Sea. and from there emptied western bank accounts to the tune of hundreds of billions.

What's the point? Are you emphasizing details of the profiteering aspect or the global effects of a war that was purposed in corrupt agendas, now threatening world conflict?
No, I'm asking you to stop making false and inflammatory statements and backing up what you do say with facts.
As for the data concerning who profits, there are articles all over the net, as well as other media publications written by journalists. Google it and you'll get the idea.
Funny, I thought you were the one trying to make a point. Why don't you google it and then come back here and prove what you claim? Or did you do it already and found out that the claims your have been making are completely unsupported? (That's usually the case when someone tells someone else to do their research for them.)

No they didn't. China by far came out on top with regards to Iraqi oil.

Haha, I thought you were smart enough to Google it yourself.
Please try to square these facts with your statements:

If Russia says it will retaliate, it will retaliate)))LOL
One more thing..most important
Title wording, 'retaliate' is not the translation of what word in Russian diplomatic language is said. In media same phrasing is used. Much softer and peaceful terms are used. Most common sounds similar to 'take measures', 'ensure defence measures'. See the difference?
'Retaliate' is 'translated' so western press could artificially connect Russia with negative word association inside average Joe's brain.
Then from what follows from the article only reinforces idea that war maniacs are leading Russia against democracy. Which in reality can be an opposite. Just pointing out a possibility. D0.

Chinese media has been showing plans to launch a nuclear attack on the US since at least 2013.
thanks.
that's what I thought
What's happening between the US and Middle East aggression, and with the US and Russian, Chinese aggressions is not about service contracts. You're focusing on small, after the fact points that have relatively little context in these most important global events. It seems that you don't have the larger, regional - global view in mind. Take another look at the result of what the US actually did in the Middle East (not what they thought they were doing) and how that has shaped a totally new paradigm in the global competitiveness of the three super powers. Come back with something we can really chew on.

I did. I can't find it. and I can't find copies of the news report.
I know they exist.
just some simple keywords to help find it would do.
or is it not available in English at all?
