The anti-Western bloc is not interested in escalating war, so it is inaccurate to view it through the lens of formal military alliance.
Countries that want war right now: USA, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Azerbaijan, few others.
Countries that don't want war: >90% of human population.
- Zigurd 4y agoI am delighted to hear China is not belicose. Spread the word. Seems like not many people know this.
- analognoise 4y agoAll these fun little man-made island resorts with a full landing strip and a complement of fighter-bombers and medium range missiles, just for protection - they're just for tourism! Who knew?
- pphysch 4y agoWhy did China have to put its country in the middle of all those American overseas military bases? Such aggression!
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoa little over a year ago, russia literally escalated their 2014 war in Ukraine, seems russia wants war the most, having both started and escalated this one
- jemmyw 4y agoUkraine and Poland definitely don't want war right now, they'd very much just like the Russians to stop and leave. The position of the countries that want "peace" is bizarre in the media: "you should just stop fighting the invader and then it's no longer war. You don't want war do you?"
- pphysch 4y agoThey don't want war, yet they also don't want to make any concessions or de-escalations. So they get more war.
- jemmyw 4y agoNot sure you can blame them can you? If they concede territory that's just a message of "invade later for more". It's also pretty hard to give concessions when the rhetoric of your opponent doesn't make any sense. Effectively Russia doesn't want Ukraine to be Ukraine one way or another.
- rayiner 4y ago> The position of the countries that want "peace" is bizarre in the media: "you should just stop fighting the invader and then it's no longer war. You don't want war do you?" It’s not “bizarre” just calculated. Most of the world doesn’t give a shit about Ukraine and would be perfectly happy for Russia to annex it so long as the economic disruption from the sanctions and oil price increases stop. They can’t outright say it because western countries are big trade partners but that’s what they mean reading between the lines.
