Yes, Russia is free, with its great and glorious enterprises, to make it on its own. The rest of your strange delusions, do not even merit a sarcastic response.
I wonder if Turist is supposed to be Tourist. Ironically, the Soviets were not only barred from traveling/tourism, they could only visit other places within their own area with a permit granted by their government's authority. I'm sure Putin is earnest to restore the "greatness" of his KGB days.
Maybe it's Turist, the little village in Azerbajdan, right on the Russian border.
Are American companies freeing the market from their competitors? Good. I think someone will be very, very happy.I've heard about the Fedeks, I've seen them somewhere, I think, in a movie.And I don't know who the first ones are at all. they are not on the Russian market at all.
The Russian government doesn't agree with you.
"To enable businesses to make informed decisions, a draft presidential decree has been prepared to introduce temporary restrictions on exiting Russian assets," [Russian Prime Minister Mikhail] Mishustin was quoted as saying. "We expect that those who have invested in our country will be able to continue working here."
"The world's biggest shipping lines MSC and Maersk (MAERSKb.CO) on Tuesday suspended container shipping to and from Russia, deepening the country’s isolation as its invasion of Ukraine sparks an exodus of international companies." https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/wes...te-2022-03-01/
"U.S.-based United Parcel Service Inc (UPS.N) and FedEx Corp (FDX.N), two of the world's largest logistics companies, have said they are halting deliveries to destinations in Russia." https://www.reuters.com/business/aer...es-2022-02-27/
From Germany's Merkel Stand by backing for Russia Gas Pipeline:
The Chinese can play the long game because they are getting stronger every day. They're likely to reach military parity with the U.S. in the near future and may surpass it eventually. They have no reason to press anything at this point. Consider their power. They started a global pandemic and then got the world to change the name of the virus, so no-one could get the idea it had anything to do with them. And it worked entirely to the point that people in America got ostracized for even talking about it. Why make war if you can get what you want every other way?
Russia is on a war footing because they know they're strategically on the defensive. There's urgency in their actions because they know time isn't their friend.
But here's the problem with it - for one, they have nukes of course so you really don't want them to get trigger happy, secondly a very isolated Russia with no channels open to the West has absolutely no choice but to accept the role as Beijing's junior partner (which they so far have chafed against). Their dependency on the PRC will be insane and of course PRC entities have already invested in Russia significantly, something likely to increase. This is not irrelevant given we're talking about one of the largest most resource-rich countries on this planet.
A conflict with China *and* Russia is damn near unwinnable, nukes or not. Nixon's move towards China was designed to drive a wedge between them by opening an alternative option for China. But the dynamics have changed. Back then the USSR was the main enemy and China an isolated and underdeveloped country. Now China is the dominant power and Russia the country that's isolated. A stronger Russia not entirely beholden to China is actually in our interest and that does include Taiwan.

Are Western heroic heroes so cowardly that they close the doors to ordinary Russian tourists again? Is it really such censorship in order not to tell you something superfluous there? Or is it probably so that I don't see the shacks made of cardboard boxes and the garbage of the poor under the bridge in Seattle)))
Don't worry so much about me) The world is huge and beautiful)) I have a tourist activity for many years to come))
And this is not interesting, because in this provocation Ukraine is being used as a kamikaze.
Ukraine's task is only to kill itself as efficiently as possible. The Western media should get a good picture.

Melitopol today ( city in the Southern part of Ukraine,) under Russian control
From what this inhabitant reports, the locals are taking order under their control, organizing the watch groups and patrolling the streets ( he is having the sign of such group on his car windshield and is inviting any man to join the group.)
The owners of the shops that were afraid of the looting attempts a day ago, are saying that they don't mind to resume their operations, but they need security.
In the real world Putin has united the world against Russia.
Thanks Putin. Enjoy your never-ending guerilla war.
