The one on the left looks more Russian.

But also Russian.

Well, yeah. They're not gonna instantly switch suppliers. It takes time to switch over.

I don't know why everyone expected Europe to instantly abandon Russian gas, and have no gas for the next few days.

I've seen Russians that look Asian........

Russia is a huge country with dozens of ethnic groups, so yes, there are Russians that look Asian.

Nature is often your worst enemy in war.

Don't you think that all those warnings & sanctions were not for an instant implications but till Russia gets done with Ukraine and then they will allegedly boycott. How could they let Russians to do all that and still buying from them but calling for sanctions? Hence, it is proven and reveals that personal interests are above anyone's else problems. A Europe supposedly helping Ukraine cannot live without gas for next few days and had no contingency/alternative plan for switching the supplier despite the fact that they knew or at-least claimed that Russia will invade Ukraine. Speechless.

Edit: How could everyone expected Russia is not aware of consequences but rushes into Ukraine.

They have no alternative. A third of Europe's gas comes from Russia, it is impossible for them to let go of it for the next generation.

Let's put it like this, the world order dictates that those in power can punish by sanctions those who are not in power.

So, in brief, these wars are imposed by dictators thru 'world order' on weak nations, though these so-called dictators are champs of democracy, no right/wrong concept or any principles. Might is Right.
They attack weak nations and impose a game of 'SANCTIONS' against the powerful to whom they are unable or feel weak to confront on battlefields.

What you said was absurd, and completely the opposite of what I said. Don't just make things up.

IMO, here whatever you have stated is an absurd statement.

you can't fight American with American Weapons , you can't fight Russian with Russians weapons and you can't fight chinese with chinese weapons . period.

we learnt it the hard way . if you build a stick , its way more successful in fighting those than the weapons made by them

That's why India purchase most weapons from Russia?

Where are the people claiming that China would invade Taiwan after Russia invades?

A lot of economics is 'hard wired'. You simply cannot change a nations supplier of gas, oil or anything else at a whim. If they stopped russian gas now, nobody could take up the deficit. Also industry is built for certain types eg oil from one country cannot simply be replaced by oil from another.
