    … you’re supposed to cut access to those shortly before the war, to cause maximum headaches. If there’s a war actually soon, then they picked the dumbest timing they possibly could. The west is in a state of partially mobilized war production, in an effort to supply Ukraine.

    And US soldiers are not involved in any foreign wars for the first time in awhile. That lowers our threshold for hitting an America-fuck-yea moment significantly.

      China isn’t going to declare war on the US. All their manufacturing profits come from US buyers. Both sides would suffer drastically before a single shot was fired.

          You literally overthrew a democratically elected government in coup in 2014 and put in a client regime that’s currently using press gangs to kidnap people off the street and send them to die. Your senator by the name of Lindsey Graham recently quipped how this war was the best money your regime ever spent. Get your emprie bs out of here.

                You’re regurgitating Kremlin talking points and whataboutisms. None of which justify Russia’s invasion, breaking international law, breaking international agreements, crimes against humanity or attempted genocide of the Ukrainian people.

                Lmao I’ve been there more than you.

                Oof, the fact that I have family in China really upsets the racists on this forum. How about we skip ahead a few steps and y’all just take the mask off and call me a race traitor.

        They’re defending their country willingly against a foreign agressor, so how can you justify a statement like that?

        The foreign material aid they’re receiving are things they’ve both asked for and sorely need.
