Pakistan has a lot of T-80us made in Ukraine. I bet those end up being sent back.

It's true, but Sino-Soviet relationships was already recovering by the time he was in charge. Plus collapse of Soviet Union has a lot of negative on China too. Overall I say jury is still out if you look at it from purely Chinese perspective and definitely way negative from Russian perspective.By popping the Soviet Union he not only destroyed the only major threat bordering China but helped boost Chinese military tech by several decades in one fell swoop. He accomplished a lot for China.
Lol keep singing that tune until your blue in your face, and you're still pretty much wrong on this one. Which western countries that have opened up their respective economies and are seeing double digit growth or even marginal growth? Take Sweden for example, a country that never closed it's borders or imposed western style lockdowns which resulted into the deaths of it's much older population that both the government and people of that country largely accepted as the price to pay. But how has the Swedish economy performed? Have they performed dramatically different and has economic growth in amazing numbers? NOPE!!China's LNG excess is due to outdated covid policies. These policies are now dragging down China's economic development.
Also I would challenge you to refute EROEI and deny the fact that global peak of net usable energy is the reason we are seeing all the problems manifest in the global economies today, such as wages not being able to keep up with inflation, and hegemon having to print to infinity the money supply etc....
At least he got pizza ad to remember him. Seriously though I thought he was in US, the least they could do after using him to suicide the USSR is to let him retire handsomely in US. Should be fitting as his biggest accomplishment

Hell once upon a time Ukraine could build things like Varyag and An-225, now they're down to exporting wheat and women.
If USSR stayed we would be flying in Concord 2.USSR-Chinese relations were fine in Gorbachev's time.
If anything the USSR disintergrating led to China become enemy number one of America, although luckily the GWOT kept the west too occupied to do much.
It doesn't change much, I'm sure Putin will restore the USSR to Warsaw Pact borders by the end of winter![]()
