@kensmith174 That's not the way sanctions work. I know in your mind you're a expert on geopolitics, and the UN Secretary General, but you're not.
If you could put together a legitimate argument, I would believe that, but I'm more familiar with Russia and US extraterritorial sanctions work. If they had a choice, they'd choose airstrikes over economic warfare of the US, because being attacked would get them more support.
This is a game of chess to remove the US sanction (EU ones aren't nearly as serious). The sanctions which have nearly destroyed the country and destabilized the oligarchs and future GDP growth. You might think they can just go to China, but every country that does business with the US has to follow the sanction, so China has to decide between Russia and it's most important trading partner, The United States.
You have an interest POV, but it's got nothing to do with reality.

@realityobservationalist7290 You definitely have a right to your position, but the US and NATO are looking out for their own self-interest. The Kremlin is also doing what it believes in Russia's interest. We've had differences and conflicting interests with Russia in Europe and with China in the Pacific since the 1940s. Nothing about the US response to the invasion should be surprising. Ukraine is a young democracy, and it decided to seek closer ties with the US and European Union.
They can see the economic progress in the Baltic States and the former Warsaw Pact countries that have joined the EU and NATO. Ukraine is a very pro-American country, and when this conflict is over, we will have a new market of 45 million Ukrainians to export and sell iPhones, Hollywood films, NATO weapons, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Google Online Services, UPS, Boeing aircraft, computer chips, loans and financial services, and American-made vehicles. The US weapons and money come with strings attached, so American corporations will have priority access to Ukraine and Ukraine will side with the US over China. Ukraine's relationship with the US will probably be closer than Ukraine and European Union.

@tweedy4sg I saw your very first sentence, and I've got to end our conversation. Yesterday was an off day, and I had time for, but not anymore because:
1. You claimed there's confusion about US Extraterritorial Sanctions with UN Sanctions. No way to confused those two US sanctions are a unilateral type of warfare that existed before there was a UN, or even a League of Nations. I don't if you're an American or English is your first language, but it's clear I only referred to US sanction. Both Russia and China are members of the Security Council, and would have to sanction themselves before UN Sanctions could be applied. That doesn't even make sense and you should know that; so
2. I'm going to assume you are intentionally changing the subject, and/or either spreading misinformation, and because I don't have the time go through and correct everyone of your lies, I've stopped reading, and have to end the discussion with you because it's intentional misinformation and propaganda. If you want a platform to lie, just go somewhere, but don't disguise it as a genuine geopolitical question.
