Yeah, reason in background to the left.

Regular girl, nothing special  - anyway, he have moved to Russia alone (as far as i have understood). In addition to that, the main point is not what he is saying but settings around, showing summertime Moscow.

Seems very special for him, and that would be enough.

So what? Yuan is the currency of global #1 economy, so it is logical.....

    By the way back in late 1990th USD was the main currency in Russia (not just in terms of base for calculating exchange rates, but just main currency). I still remember explaining to people in our global office that i can't ptovide figures for their world factbook in RUR as they wanted as all calculations are in USD and exchange rate is meaningless....

Isn't the Chinese exchange rate fixed by the Chinese government rather than a floating currency? that's bad for business.

Same for a lot of bigger deals in Poland in the early 90s. E.g. my dad telling me:

'pity, I could have bought this building for 50k dollars 30 years ago'.

'uh, dollars?'

'yeah, currency was such a crap back then that we bought and sold a lot of stuff for dollars'

At this point, it's clear that it's the establishment British politicians who are Putin's friends. Why wouldn't they be? They're bribable, they can make noises of being against Putin but without really doing anything to scotch Putin's objectives.

Very unfair assessment, Britain has given very substantial assistance to Ukraine, including weapons that the US has considered to be an 'escalation'. They (or the French) didn't give a fuck if those weapons hit 'Russia proper' either.

Are the weapons enough to support a victory or are they just enough to draw out the war? 

Arguably, Russia is quite willing to take hits, if long term they gain ground on their expansion of the new Russian Hegemony.

No single western country can deliver enough? Without what the US had supplied to date it would have been over by now, without what the Europeans have supplied it would have been over too.

Thus the Ukrainian people are worse now. A quick war would have been better for them, regardless of who won it.

A 'quick war' would mean vassalization of the state, maybe even anschluss and we would have a restored Russian Empire on NATO's Eastern border. Also 3-5 times the OTL number of refugees that would come to Europe (that could still happen if Ukraine falls btw.) - if they could leave, that is, plenty would be killed, with others being sent to 'reeducation camps'. Russia has already proved that it's not above stealing people's children too, there would have been a lot more of it.
