If China is "laughing" as Ukraine is torn to shreds, then it's only because their non-interventionist foreign policy is once again proving itself as good through yet another negative example.
If China was so staunchly non-interventionist, then why are they supporting the side which is invading its neighbor?

Based on what? Skull measurements?
Based on their treatment of the Uyghurs and any other kinds of domestic dissenters, based on their increasingly aggressive saber-rattling with regard to Taiwan, based on them strategically placing artificial islands in the South China sea and then claiming waters which actually belong to other countries, based on their surging investment in their military, based on their history of supporting murderous regimes like the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia or the Kims in North Korea, based on them flagrantly breaking their promises with regard to democracy and free press in Hong Kong and so on and forth.

it's because your government stopped buying long term contracts and instead went to the spot market. C'mon, this is month seven, lets grow up a little.
German gas storages owned by Gazprom had a systematically lower filling level than those owned by anyone else. The buying on the spot market was a stupid idea and a self-inflicted wound, but it affected the market price we had to pay for our gas, not so much the distribution of said gas among the various storages.
