    Words are cheap, China can do more without having to take any costly action. Increasing oil imports from Venezuela is one way.

      Yeah, China did this with Iran as well, didn’t do shit. But I guess it gets more people to like china, and view it as the next superpower which actually helps weaker countries, unlike America which just bullies Ukraine.

          Unlike the US which provides weapons and surveillance for Ukraine to kill Russians.

            Russians are dying because Putin places his own vanity and desire for future “glory” over the lives of the Russian people. The was ends the second he calls off the invasion.

              Do you really think the Russo-Ukrainian war is about “glory” and “vanity?” Russia has the upper-hand, they aren’t going to pack their bags and leave before their demands are met, namely the oblasts, NATO neutrality, and for Kiev to stop oppressing ethnic Russians living in Ukraine.

                  Exactly, lmao!

                  Like, I can empathize with the anti-war crowd. Why on Earth do they keep saying Russia can turn around and stop? That doesn’t make any sense, they have the means to continue and their goals still haven’t been met, so the war is going to continue until they are. Shouldn’t the anti-war crowd desire a swift surrender from Ukraine to minimize further bloodshed?

                    I saw a former minister of defense use this talking point in a debate on national television a while back, and I felt like I was about to have a stroke.

                    Like yeah, you’re technically correct that the Russians could do that, but the actual chance of it happening is basically zero, so why are you bringing it up? You know this! What the hell kind of argument is this even supposed to be?
