The West sanctioned Russia (in yellow) vs the rest of the world didn’t sanction Russia. The #Dragonbear 🇨🇳🇷🇺, the BRICS (🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦), the African continent (many depend on 🇷🇺 commodities and security services), ASEAN, Eurasia, and Latin America still trade with Russia. #Velsig

"Never allow unsollicited advice from friends. Every time someone gave me a "friendly advice" on 1) writing style, 2) trading strategy, 3) How I should not be weightlifting, 4) Why I shd be nice to Monsanto, etc., I'm glad I did opposite. Be stubborn." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
