>It doesn't "seem unthinkable" because they've been literally saying that for half a century.
I was trying for understatement.
>That doesn't mean they want to work with the second coming of Christian nationalism
No...I suppose not. But if they don't, why be neutral? What if they take the "Christian nationalism" as superficial? What if "want" is immaterial to a reality of working with the existing situation?
>Anyone who's worked in diplomacy in the global South knows it's hard enough for them to work with each other.
You sound knowledgeable. I didn't know that China was part of the global South.
Are you scoffing at the idea that China would work with Russia, or just reacting to the mention of India?
Specifically, is it completely absurd to you to suspect that the fruits of the OPM breach were sent by China to Moscow?
- scythe 5y ago>I didn't know that China was part of the global South. China was ruled out separately; the remaining countries are either opposed to Russia, very small, or reasonably described as "global South". Your other points are similarly vacuous, and your attitude gives me no reason to continue this conversation.
- vba616 5y agoYou addressed me like I was an imbecile, I say you sound like you know something, and now you won't answer questions because of my attitude. I'm genuinely disappointed not to hear more of your wisdom. I know that being an asshole and being wrong are different things.
