Forget about Olga working in the fields all day and knocking out tank parts in the evening for a few rubels and bowl of beetroot soup.
I've always surprised by the west's obsession with Putin and Xi, in particular the western media's hell bent focus on bringing them to account. Putin and Xi are not the problem, they are the elite of the elite, the real problem is that the illiterate downtrodden majority in those countries treat blokes like that as demigods. Raise the literacy and expose the fraud to the downtrodden and they will rise up and rattle the cages of those trouble makers, leaving them too busy dealing with their backyard to bother anybody.
China have a literacy rate of around 96%...
Brazil are claiming the Chinese vaccine they received is only 50% effective, its old technology and the Chinese are knocking it out in big numbers because its easy to make and store. Its been described in an analogy as a Model T Ford vaccine vs the Moderna and Pfizer offerings which were described as Tesla's in comparison.....
Both China and Russia are top 5 for military spending, thats how they rule, by force, good luck rattling cages in either country as those missing Doctors in Wuhan can tell you....
