    Can you explain why Russia and China haven’t sanctioned the US if they are so opposed to what the US is doing?

            Maybe they should stop being such goody-two-shoes then if they want to have an influence in the world.

              "China and Russia are bad because they don’t follow international law!’

              “Yes they do”

              “… Well they shouldn’t!”

              Also lol at trying to claim China doesn’t have influence on the world.

                What I’m saying is, if China and Russia truly cared about what the US is doing, they could choose to sanction the US and the West just like the West is doing to Russia right now. Like you say, China throwing their weight in would certainly have an influence.

                  My mistake, I assumed your interjection was related to the topic being discussed, and not just a completely unrelated butt in.

      Can you explain why Sweden hasn’t gone to war with (we weren’t talking about sanctions) the USA if they’re so opposed to appeasement?

        Because the US geopolitical goals and actions, while often reprehensible, generally speaking aren’t against Swedish interests, whereas Russia is a much more direct threat to Sweden.

        Why does China keep appeasing the US by not sending weapons to support Russia?
