At the same time, the Chinese side has declared its understanding and support for the proposals put forward by Russia, the United States and NATO on the formation of legally binding long-term security guarantees in Europe.

Both sides expressed serious concern over the creation of the new AUKUS association by the three countries: the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia .

Russia has built a "financial fortress" against Western sanctions.

In recent years, Russia has managed to build a "financial fortress" that will allow the country to survive the new Western sanctions without too many losses, Bloomberg writes.

"The steps against Russia that the Biden administration is discussing with its allies may affect the ruble, the investment climate in the country or inflation, but they are not capable of causing a drop in indicators, as in 2014".

As noted in the article, the Kremlin managed to increase reserves, reduce public debt to one of the lowest levels among the world's major economies, and even make a budget surplus.

Furthermore, Moscow is increasingly reducing its dependence on the dollar by converting both savings and foreign trade agreements into other currencies, such as the euro and the yuan.

On the contrary, almost all Western economies are close to the financial abyss, as they are almost all Bankruptcy

"The purpose of GLADIO was to attack civilians, the people - women, children, innocent people, unknown people, far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the State and demand greater security. Under a strategy of tension, you 'destabilize in order to stabilize', to create tension within society and promote conservative, reactionary social and political tendencies."
