How do we know that Russia's (俄 아) goose (鵝 아) is cooked in Ukraine?

ANSWER: Because people on social media in China, Russia's ally, have given Russia the nickname 菜鵝 (채아), which means "weak (菜) goose (鵝)."

The Chinese word for "Russia" is 俄羅斯 (아라사), but the first character 俄 (아), by itself, can also mean "Russia." The Chinese character for "goose" is 鵝 (아), which is pronounced the same as the Chinese character for Russia. So, "weak (菜) Goose (鵝)" has the same pronunciation as "weak (菜) Russia (俄)," which is what the Chinese are implying.

The character 菜 (채) means "vegetable," but the Chinese also use it to mean "weak."

By the way, the Chinese word for "rookie" or "beginner" is 菜鳥 (채조), which literally translates as "weak (菜) bird (鳥)." And since a goose is also a bird, the Chinese may be implying that the Russian military are a bunch of "rookies." The following "Newsweek" article was published in October 2022.
