      Exact same genius logic was applied to Russia, and clearly geniuses in the west learned nothing from that.

      Or China cuts off the US since they’re no longer dependent on US manufacturing orders. China sanctioning the US would end our economy overnight, while it wouldn’t really effect anyone but the billionaire class in China, and they’re already on the chopping block.

        Refusing to meet bad actors with unified strength and yes, violence when necessary, only encourages more bad actors and actions.

        This is a universal truth too many in our peaceful time have forgotten, and so the wheel is turning back towards authoritarianism and violence.

            Who’s “we”?

            But, sure, sometimes everyone is. And sometimes we’re not.

            Nothing is black and white, and anyone who pretends otherwise is either a simpleton or is selling you something.

              No, that belief is just a coping strategy. You haven’t studied history enough. England dominated over 80% of the world’s population at it’s height. The USA broke from England over economics, primarily the crown’s intention to reform or end slavery and the crown’s restraining the colonial genocide machine from killing everyone on the continent. For almost 700 years white, European society has been traveling around the world raping, torturing, enslaving, extracting, and exploiting all of the world’s people. Every story the white European society tells about some evil doer elsewhere is primarily propaganda (true or not) to justify its continued vile dominance.

              There is no future for human society that doesn’t involve dismantling everything the Europeans built on the backs of the global majority. Every current and former colony, every economic system, every legal system, every social institution, every religion - it all needs to be dismantled and rebuilt by the world’s people in accordance with the needs of those people. There is only one empire and it traces its history all the way back to Rome. It must be ended. Anyone who pretends otherwise is an apologist.

      We’re not the audience these statements are aimed at. They’re principally aimed at China’s domestic population: to maintain the CCP’s CPC’s appearance of strength.

            CPC is the Communist Party of China, that’s the official name of the party which people in the west insist on mispelling for some unknown reason.
