Russia starts the war. They are the textbook bullies who forced their way on others, and worse through violence. In this case, the West are given a cause to act extreme.
China will have alternatives of its own anyway, regardless. Other countries can choose hedge the risk of too integrated with the Western economy, but do they really trust China that much? It is indeed a question to be answered.
- brabel 5y ago> They are the textbook bullies Russia is being a bully, not doubt... but what doubt is there that the West is responding by using textbook bully tactics as a response? If your point is that, at least the West is not using violence, then I totally agree. It's much less problematic to be an economic bully than a violent one.
