And in other news millions of US arms to Ukraine keep ending up in Africa. But let's talk about China helping Russia even though we already new this was going to happen from the start.

Why did you expect China to follow Western sanctions?

[–] ran2wall@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

YEah, no surprise there. See past the veil, Rus never changed when the un-dethroneable president is "ex" KGB.

Actually it did change. The life expectancy plummeted dramatically during the 90s after the collapse of the USSR and is still recovering, and the whole ideology of the government has shifted. It is a completely different country to what it was when the KGB was a thing.

Do you live there? If not, then you only know what information is fed to the public. The thing is, the information we have, is curated to appear better than it actually is.

"China is helping Russia evade Western sanctions"

Uh, even if this is true, so what? China isn't beholden to the west? The notions of supremacy are unreal with American media.

[–] chaosmode@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

As a Canadian American who currently hates Russia and what Russia feels is an appropriate reaction to Ukraine seeking to join Nato. Not to mention the number of children they have killed, civilians they have openly executed...I couldn't hate Russia more than I do right now. Used to respect them and like Putin. Anyways, even though it sucks, Russia and China have every right to work together. We can't control things like this. However, I hope Ukraine kicks Russia's ass.

Was this not a given? I remember something about weird Chinese military Supply train routes in the early months of the war

[–] fades@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but my moron friend from college is convinced that China isn’t helping Russia at all and that Ukraine is full of Nazis and the west is the real enemy

So no? It’s not a given unless you have a functioning brain

He probably believes socialism CAN work and ignores all the previous failed attempts.
