She's right.

Was she also right that invading another country unprovoked is a war crime... which is exactly what she did?

Russia is a dying wannabe empire no matter what. China is the true threat of this century. Anything we can do to punish and deter China is worth doing.

Good thing the US made Russia a permanent ally (really a vassal) to China then. Let's see you try to deny oil and resources to China now with the economic terrorism you call sanctions.

Depends on the circumstances. Not all invasions are wars of evil, naked, empire-building aggression like Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Some invasions can be wholly righteous and justified.

That was inevitable. Allowing Putin to act like store brand Hitler would not have changed that.

Let's see you try to deny oil and resources to China now

It will be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Russia can't supply all of China's energy and resource needs. The vast majority of China's needs come by sea, which can be blocked far away from China's shores where it can't project any significant power.

Evil, naked, empire-building aggression like the war in Iraq. Some invasions are justified, but very few to none of American invasions were.

If he actually were like Hitler, your Ukrainian allies would worship him. Like they worship the American imperialists. But again, you try to justify your own massive geopolitical failure by pretending that it's "inevitable". It's fine with me, you'll just keep owning yourself like that.

Ah yes, that great sea that divides China from Russia. Obviously, they need not come by sea. And your economic terrorism is not going to work against China.

While I hope that Taiwan does not lose, I do hope that America loses... because it ruins every country in its empire.

Except Iraq is an independent country and not a colony/vassal of the US.

That's what a Russian would say, I guess.

Yawn. Did a New Guy™ take over the Antonio social media account at the FSB contractor's office?

Allow me to repeat myself: Russia can't supply all of China's energy and resource needs. China imports Crude Petroleum ($150B) primarily from: Saudi Arabia ($24.7B), Russia ($23.8B), Iraq ($16.9B), Angola ($12.1B), and Brazil ($11.4B). Russia represents only 17 percent of China’s energy imports, but 35% of Russia's exports. China's biggest import trade partners are Japan ($133B), South Korea ($131B), United States ($122B), Germany ($106B), and Taiwan ($104B).

So yes, nearly all of China's foreign trade needs to come by sea.

While I hope that Taiwan does not lose

I always wondered why Russia secretly hopes "Taiwan does not lose". But it is pretty obvious that if China succeeds in conquering Taiwan, its next target for expansion will be Russia. And while Russia can threaten nukes all it wants, it won't do shit as China conquers the whole Russian Far East.

Given the poor performance of Russia against Ukraine, it should be exceedingly obvious that the far more economically powerful & higher population China could stomp the Russian military quite easily. Sure, they'd take a lot of casualties, too (unlike the West), but the CCP gives 0 fucks about losing a little population.

It's nominally independent like Poland in the Warsaw Pact. In reality, like Europe, it follows the commands of its overlords.

That's what a Russian would say, I guess.

That's what anyone who isn't a neocon would say.

LOL! Hard to believe that you don't realize that this sort of thing just makes you look absolutely ridiculous.

Allow me to repeat myself: Russia can't supply all of China's energy and resource needs. China imports Crude Petroleum ($150B) primarily from: Saudi Arabia ($24.7B), Russia ($23.8B), Iraq ($16.9B), Angola ($12.1B), and Brazil ($11.4B). Russia represents only 17 percent of China’s energy imports, but 35% of Russia's exports.

So there's an immense amount of room for growth, particularly if the Chinese start expanding the Siberian infrastructure for oil pipelines. I know that you want to cope in order to make yourself believe that you're going to be able to strangle China, but it ain't gonna work.

I always wondered why Russia secretly hopes "Taiwan does not lose".

Beyond parody.

But it is pretty obvious that if China succeeds in conquering Taiwan, its next target for expansion will be Russia. And while Russia can threaten nukes all it wants, it won't do shit as China conquers the whole Russian Far East.

I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you actually believe what you just wrote. Obviously, no one is attacking Russia in the east for those wastelands.

Sure, they'd take a lot of casualties, too (unlike the West), but the CCP gives 0 fucks about losing a little population.

Again, you pretend to oppose Biden and yet pretend that he is some sort of great humanitarian in the mold of Albert Schweitzer, rather than the bloodthirsty, cynical Machiavellian that he - and all your other politicians - are.
