          I do it all the time. Force of habit. Do you believe there is some ill will in my posts?

                I’m a native English speaker and I have no idea what they’re talking about. I don’t think they realized you were alluding to the EU politician that called Europe a garden and the rest of the world a jungle.

                  I thought it was because my comment could’ve been interpreted as an attack on China

                    I guess, yeah, but I am just incredulous at the idea that Russia’s relationship with the west is beneficial in any way to anyone other than an oligarch selling titanium or whatever. It doesn’t even have to be China. The relationship of Gardeners to the rest of the world is parasitic! Any financial relationships with one another will be better because their economies don’t run off plunder!

                    At the same time I understand why people are wary China will do the same stuff as the USA. Their central bank operates very differently than the federal reserve, so I wouldn’t worry.

                  Jossip Borrel? I know him. I am just incredulous at the idea that Russia’s relationship with the west is beneficial in any way to anyone other than an oligarch selling titanium or whatever. In addition, Russia may be better off overall in the new Asia.
