  1. No, China isn't saying "don't force us to choose sides in this war", China is saying "we will choose Russia if at any point we feel it necessary". Big difference.

  2. again, wrong, Russia does have time. Russia takes years over its military objectives....look at Chechnya and Syria. Russia may take 2 more years to liberate Donbass. NATO may take 2 more months to run out of ammo, which would make things easier.

  3. the option of withdrawing, apart from a small number of troops on foot, has gone. Zelensky has not opted to sacrifice his cannon fodder in Bakhmut. He left it too late, so now he has to pretend he chose that option. Churchill, he is not.

  4. the call from the US, to withdraw and fight another day and to save lives and weaponry, came only 6 months too late. NATO living up to its Kabul 2021 reputation.

  5.  @tamerlane7  agreed. Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan pushed Beijing closer to Russia, and BRICS generally is moving away from the dollar and a Western oriented focus.

  6.  @stivsterzigler2677  that's right, because the sanctions on Russia really destroyed Russia and boosted the West's economies, right? Let's just sanction China and watch the same thing happen again! Oh boy, the West is going to get so rich from all these sanctions we impose!
