If I had to guess, and I'm being honest, I think Russia-- if they successfully capture Ukraine (doesn't strictly have to be Ukraine, but its a clear example), would have absolutely zero issues with releasing all the oil accounting paperwork, all the hunter Biden shit, decades of cover up that would only advantage them to make public

Russia would also be more than able and willing to play hard ball for economic agreements. China gets away with it because leverage. Russia wants to fight you-- you know what I mean?
