I just answered your question.
> So is China
So, you know the answer already. There are countries, which cannot attack West directly, so they attack indirectly, using propaganda. Some countries are better at that than others. However, one mad country directly attacks another country now, which tries to join the Western block, to keep them in their area of influence. This is the direct attack at almost the member of the West with goal to make West weaker.
- _-david-_ 5y agoUkraine is not the west so Russia is not attacking the west. Joining NATO doesn't make a country a western country (I assume that is what you mean by joining the Western block). Do you think Turkey is a western country? Being in the west and taking your culture from Judeo-Christian / Greek philosophy means you are a part of the west. China took over Hong Kong which was a colony of the UK. You could argue an attack against Hong Kong is more of an attack on the west than Ukraine.
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> Being in the west and taking your culture from Judeo-Christian / Greek philosophy The term “west” is needlessly ambiguous. Ukraine sought to join the West, as in the league of countries with functioning democracies, strong militaries, growing economies and freedom for their citizens. In attacking Kiev, a modern European capital that does not want to be invaded and repressed, Putin attacks people striving for something valued and fought for in Warsaw, London, Toronto, Taipei, Canberra and Istanbul.
