That's a very interesting question.
Let's assume the US is the epicenter of a global pandemic that killed 6 million people and $12 trillion in economic damage (and counting). And the US is refusing to cooperate with an investigation into its origins.
What is an appropriate response from China, Russia, and the international community?
Assume the US's military isn't the most powerful and technologically advanced in the world. Instead China's is the most powerful and advanced.
- trasz 4y agoYou don't need to assume - US is always handling things this way, to the extreme; Hague Invasion Act for example.

- trasz 4y agoNothing, given that it's way less aggressive than US, and I believe for a deep cultural reasons. Which is also what have been done literally every single time it happened before, I believe? The whole idea of punishing a country for a pandemic sounds deranged even for a right wing propaganda.
