Really that is not very complex.
For over 30 years elites work hard to involve Russia into globalist agenda. Kissinger was in the game deeply, more than everybody could imagine. He invested a lot of work into that thing. Unlike failed with his stupid "opposition" and "woke" moves Soros, who participated in that work too, Kissinger didn't make jerky moves. Slowly destroying Russian industry, pushing hard dependece on western tech, all that western economics shit, green light for "Russian" oligarchs in the West and so on. He find some keys to sucking Russia into globalist agenda and make a huge success. And now, new, young woke globohomos literally destroying his enormous 30 year work with stupid sanctions and narrative. Every week of sanctions destroys years of Kissinger work.
That is why he made his statement. In the long run, it is more profitable for elites to restore relations with Russia at any cost and bind it to agenda back, than get some temporary success with their rush to famine/shortages stuff, but lose Russia completely.
It is clear for Kissinger that even dumb sheeple will began to ask an unpleasant questions about why that bad Russia have enough food and fuel for all its orcs, when elites talk about "global shortages" for them, nice, obedient and woke sheeple. It is not global, if it is only West suffering. And that sheeple will not give a fuck to that poor Ukraine, most of them become aware of just at Feb 23, when it comes to daily food and fuel.
Kissinger plan was much better in long run - destroy or gain NWO control over Russian industry, involving Russia into carbon tax hoax and other stuff, and finally make shortages really global, in Russia too. Slow, but reliable.
So, that is not Kissinger on Russia side. It is Kissinger protecting NWO agenda that is ruining apart with the hands of woke, impatient and stupid Young Global Leaders who literally pushing Russia out of NWO highway.
So give me that fucking point. Logical and solid point. That will fit all things, worldwide things.
I don't really see any reason to supply Africa with anything. They have everything to build a decent living, they have workforce, resources, land and decent climate. Old, white South Africa shown that it is perfectly possible. If aboriginal population have some other goals in their development as civilisation, why the hell anybody should care?
Why? There are even no any rumors about feeding Africa. Yes, we have some connections with Angola, Egypt, and few others, from the USSR times and have some trade, mostly barter with exception of Egypt who become Russian Red Sea beach, but all that humanitarian feeding starving African kids is in the Soviet past.
Why sell it now, if later you could sell them to EU at twice or more price?
Ghost towns is interesting China phenomena. As locals told me, in reality they are attempt to extract excess money from economy and to avoid inflation. And obviously, it is better to have something real, than a digits in abroad computer as a reserve. For growing China population, town is not the worst thing to reserve money. Ghost towns are not a new things. And they are not abandoned or dead. They are ready to receive habitans when needed. F.e. Shenzhen town was such a ghost town in the past. Now it is huge industrial center full of people.
Russia don't need external funding for war. All warfare chains are local. They will work even in full isolation, just like in USSR. There was attempts to make Russian MIC dependent on the external supplies, aforementioned Kissinger invest a lot of effort in this too, but since 2014 it is back to self-sufficiency. Not as good as USSR MIC, of course, but decent enough. And that was modern elites who did it.
Russia sell surplus mostly for consumer goods, machinery and oligarchs wealth. Now ability of oligarchs to hide wealth in the west is very limited.
In the new non-USD long-term contracts price is fixed. Price will not change for buyer for all contract term.
Hoax. Non-existent reasons for declared shortages.
What's the agenda, really? And how things that is really happening to help that agenda really help that agenda? OK, they create fake war, say, to establish global famine in order to implement all that food rationing, digital slavery and green, state-controlled EV. But at the same time they fucked up, f.e. chip production that is absolutely necessary to establish their digital slavery and force EV. You can't chip people if you have no chips. You can't force EV if you have no chips.
Why the idea that elites just fucked themselves up is so unacceptable for you?
Yawn. Russia is heavily into Africa. Has been since the Soviet Union, increasingly today. Look at Google where Russian and Ukrainian grains went, which countries, before boring me with bullshit conjecture. Also look at where Russian guns are selling in Africa. Reiterate Russia's recent remark about removing colonialism from and in regards too where. Africa. China has created several ghost towns in Africa. It is heavily invested in Africa as well. Like India, and the Mid East. Etc. Egyptian grain has been halted recently and it went where. India has halted some crop exports. The EU doesn't buy Indian grain, dumbass. It doesn't buy Indonesian palm oil. It doesn't buy Egyptian grain.
Yawn, a lot Russian recovered equipment in the Ukraine has had what parts and microprocessors in? They're Western largely American. The same as North Korea funnily, recovered rockets have had Western parts.
Chip shortages, supply lines are redistrubing. Where too. India, Canada and a few others massively increasing productivity and output, as demand soars.
Yawn, you spew shit without bothering to look it up or even know much more apart from nonsense. I don't have time to go through that crap. It is conjecture, and you've missed the point. What is actually happening and why. It's not propaganda. It's alien to you, because you believe in something else. I am not here to change your zealotry. I couldn't care less what you believe in. I am offering another perspective. I am not wrong either. There's an agenda. If you thought it's collapsing the West. Hahaha. You're funny. Demand has been forced, what's the solution. All out war. Hahaha. It might come to that. But there's all this other stuff to sell.
It was only $20B in 2018, $18B in 2020. Mostly it is Algeria and Egypt (~30% and ~50% respectively). It is even less than trade with single small Turkey. Google didn't told you that?
Seriously? Who told you that? Or you talking about that cheap China drones widely used by Russian/LPR/DPR army for targeting Ukrainian positions? But they have China MCUs and other ICs.
Russia have full chip production lines, up to 90nm. You can't make latest Core i9 or Nvidia GPUs on them, but they are more than enough to make military electronics. Russia manufacture wide range of microprocessors and other chips suitable for military equipment. And I'm not talking about that Elbrus overhyped crap. There is more problems with passive components, resistors, capacitors, since that factories was destroyed in 1990s. But they are freely available from China, and it is not hard to build a factory if really necessary.
Russian military equipment have much simplier electronics than western one, so Russian manufacturing abilities is enough for it.
There was a period when Russia tried to join NATO in early 2000s. At that time Russia tried to use western electronics in military equipment. FLIR's, cameras, something like that. But after NATO suddenly break all cooperation, all that stuff was replaced by local one. Theoretically, there could be some Russian units of equipment with western components in Ukraine, but they are from the times of Russia-NATO cooperation.
If you talking about Soviet equipment upgraded by Ukrainians - yes, there could be foreign parts in it.
I see, how you looked up, and got some garbage instead information. Then, use that garbage in your theory. Garbage in, garbage out, isn't it?
I never stated that agenda is to collapse the West. I stated that elites, trying to follow their agenda, whatever it is, fucked themselves up, and in the result they collapsing the West and a huge part of their developments since 1970.
Demand without supply is deficiency. I was born in USSR, deficiency does not solve anything, believe me.
To do something reasonable with unmatched demand you have to take control over supply. Then, you could use supply to push the agenda. May be you are right, and that was their plan.
But they created demand ony in the West, and may be in some West satellites. And almost lost control over supply in the rest of the world. I see it as fuckup.
Turkey exports it to where. Turkey right there real easy distributor. It's like talking to a plank.

Yawn go back to your crayons, memes, and propaganda.
I am sure there is counter propaganda. But no. There's truth in it. Russians use Western chips. Now they're going to have to make something else. Or get China too. Nope, China also make the bad chips. Look at those drones, above, umm, no arms on them, cannot guide the missiles, no GPS. Barrel bomb instead. Seriously they were found in all the leading weapon systems. Why is that?
Nice sources. :) Exactly those critical thinker should use. Good luck with finding what is really going on with them. :)
Are you really think that it is possible to take MCU from arbitrary diswasher and replace MCU in weapon with it? Do you know that nearly all MCUs in home appliances have mask ROM and you can't upload your own software into them? You can't use MCU with program to control dishwasher to control tank engine or rocket guidance. Small details sheeple not aware make that shit you dig out looking completely stupid.
Just look, there will be no problems with weaponry supply, even if that war will be prolonged for years by gamemasters.
Also, if you take a look at dates of manufacturing on photos of PCBs (all 3 of them from 7 articles :) ) you will find that all photos shows some old things from 2002 to 2012, from times of NATO-Russia cooperation.
And after all that stuff on photos is unidentifiable. It is impossible to say were it was installed and who made it, who use it, and if that PCBs from some weaponry at all.
Garbage in - garbage out.
Why do you need all that in surveillance drone? Drone should be cheap as fuck, because it is expendable. Drone is just cheap targeting device for artillery. You could use literally toys for that. And there is GNSS systems other that GPS. And you actually don't need any GNSS for fire adjustment.
Russian weaponry is different from Western one and use different concepts. You absolutely don't need sophisticated, most modern and absurly expencive electronics to do such simple tasks as artillery targeting, rocket guidance and all that stuff, it is just a matter of choice. You can do it, if you need to make a weapon that is absurdly expencive, but if you need weapon that just do the job, you could use simple electronics, even analog one.
