They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved.

I would add big difference with China: China is not pretending that they are nice and humane and always right. I never heard them preaching to someone and pretending they are better humans with more humanity than others. No hypocrisy in which EU is drawing in, started to be obvious (to me) in 2014 with Greece and all masks fell down during covid and totally confirmed with war in Ukraine.
Thay, agajn, managed to create a war between slavs and now are setting up our brothers in west africa to fight among themselves, I really hope they will resist this time.
