No changes until China decides to invade Taiwan and the sanctions that Russia currently has begin.
Yeah, China are being "generic assholes" right now, but not crossing the lines into "serious villain shit" yet, at least for people who aren't in China.
But if they touch Taiwan, oh hell yeah.
I mean there are chinese spies in europe, which suppress, bully and sometimes even kill chinese journalists who have fleed (?) to europe. And thats not even a conspiracy theory, there were investigative journalists who have uncovered this in several countries. So I'd say that china is reeealy close to that villain line
Yeah, I think thats still really brushing the line.
This is a carrot and stick thing, by making Russia an extreme example we can steer them back from the edge.
But we do need to have other sanctions, they're just being dickholes.
Oh yeah, let's wait until they start murdering people to maybe take some action.
Yes.
And when they start murdering people we bring down the wrath of God on them.
That's the problem with Russia, you have to be nice, up to the point they cross the line, then you turn the doom music on.
We needed to start crushing their balls with a hydraulic press when they took Crimea, this is on us.
I mean, it probably would've been ideal then but as usual, America was recovering from/embroiled in the last Conservative disasters (financial crisis, Afghanistan/Iraq.) And Obama had just burned a lot of political capital giving people healthcare.
W annihilated our foreign policy, destroyed it completely.
And yeah, Obama burned everything on the aca and recovering the economy while fox News had mustard gate and tan suit gate and saluting a guy with a coffee cup gate.
His foreign policy was a mess, but at least he started the pivot away from the middle east back to meaningful places, but we really needed to deal with Russia then.
