Readers of the Chinese newspaper «Guancha» ridiculed the words of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell about the effectiveness of anti-Russian sanctions. On Tuesday, at a plenary session in Strasbourg, Borrell compared sanctions to a diet. According to him, the result is not achieved the next day, the effect will be gradual. «The diet is ineffective for losing weight, and the side effects from it are great,» one of the panelists noted. «And according to scientific studies, most people who diet, in order to lose weight, they gain weight over time,” says another user. “Diet or hunger strike? I think we still need to clearly distinguish between these two concepts,” they wrote in the comments. “Poor European people, Borrell, obviously mourns with him,” another reader believes. “I hope that the whole West shares this great wisdom,” the participant joked.

Also, the United States and European countries are facing record inflation in decades.Read the full text of the article on the InoSMI website >>
