It is as if the article assumes that everyone is an American. As a European, I am very much aware that much of the world doesn't really care if Ukraine disappears from the map or not. At least does not care enough to implement sanctions. But of the countries that should absolutely be against Putins actions in Ukraine, everyone is onboard which is good to see. China, India or Brazil cannot be relied on to impose heavy sanctions on Russia and that is the way it is. The West can however impose sanctions on countries that actively supply Russia, but that is about it regarding what can be done. And the West can keep on trying to gain support, as i think most countries can see what Putin has done with Ukraine is plain wrong. China will want to do to Taiwan what Putin is doing to Ukraine, so they will naturally be cautious of condemning Russia in any way. And given the current state of affairs, it is unlikely that China will risk it and try to take Taiwan by force.
