Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

At least since Obama.

Here's an EU based article saying that really it's been happening since Clinton.

Always as in before anyone currently in power was in power.

Now, China is just saying what your thinking. If EU isn't supporting USA on this, we can talk. Otherwise what do we gain from not keeping Russia afloat?

Edit btw the point of all of this is China is literally telling the EU how to stop the war. Turn on the US

Yeah, the 1st paper is from 2015, that's after the Hong Kong protests, when it was finally clear that China was going to stamp out democracy in Hong Kong and Xi Jinping's new Wolf Warrior diplomacy. Excuse us for being...unimpressed.

Eh, but I'm not making any predictions, but if russia implodes by repeatedly hitting their head against a wall, you're cleaning up that mess, not us, he's your drunken psychotic friend now. We already got plenty scalded trying to rehab them and getting blamed for everything that went wrong.

The crackdown on the George Floyd protests was far more violent and deadly. You can't point at China when your own house is a mess.

Yes any talk about democractic reason to stop China is stupid considering they "NATO allies" are committing a full blown genocide in Gaza.

In reality China is a natural threat to wealthy people in the west because they have the population and the technology to: 1) fight any attempt to be exploited , 2) Exploit other countries.

There are wealthy people in China too (and a disgusting cult of wealth to go with it to make any communist nauseous or any oligarch envious) and they're obedient little piggies, just like those idiots at tramp's inauguration
