From what I have read it is now cheaper to manufacture in Russia than it is in China.
Their oil is a large part of their economy and we have the ability and the reserves to really blow them out if we need to.
All things being equal I’d prefer a product or food item from Russia over the godless and amoral Chinee any day.
Yes, I said “Chinee”.

The oil situation was already being handled when OPEC dropped their prices as Russia was trying to get off the ground. Problem is it also clobbered the middle oil producing countries like Venezuela’s sales thus murdering their economy.
