- augment001 4y agoI guess you haven’t been watching the news.
- endisneigh 4y agoPlease inform me, then. By what metrics is China cozying up with Russia, and what are the same numbers for USA and co?
- augment001 4y agoIt’s not my job to inform you. If you don’t think China is supporting Russia’s position then you need to do some reading. Also, I guess you can’t explain why Finland isn’t Russia’s best friend despite bordering Russia.
- endisneigh 4y agoDon't make claims you can't back up, lol.
- augment001 4y agoYou first. This whole ‘metrics’ question is a distraction. If you can explain why your argument doesn’t apply to Finland, I’ll point you to a news report showing China’s support for Russia.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoXi expressed China's unconditional support for Russia, and then Xi's foreign minister later came back and said that the unconditional support was actually conditional. So they are actually playing the whole conflict from both sides, which is much more of a traditional Chinese position.
- endisneigh 4y agoKind of like how (some) Republicans support Russia indirectly by criticizing the Ukraine war expenses from the USA's behalf, yet continuing to vote for the arms deals.
- augment001 4y agoNot really, unless you think the foreign minister is the one in power.
