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.
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?
Also funny how this "appeasement never works" fanaticism never applies to NATO and it's members
Yeah, funny how Russia, China and friends haven't sanctioned the US and other countries. They have the full right to do that instead of continuing to appease them.
Russia can't conquer even a quarter of Ukraine, and they still invaded Ukraine. Sweden and Finland know that Russia can't conquer them, and that knowledge has made them stay neutral in the past. But Russia has just shown with Ukraine that they might try anyway just because, and it's a huge pain in the ass for Ukraine and for everybody else in Europe too. So it's only natural that Sweden and Finland would like to avoid even being tried to be conquered by Russia.
And like we can see, the Russian invasion of Ukraine also impacts France, the UK, and Canada. It's not that these countries have decided to brainlessly follow the US. They want to support other countries who are at more risk of being invaded by Russia because countries being invaded by Russia is a huge pain in the ass for everybody in the region, not just the country being invaded. So their foreign policy goals simply happen to line up with the US goals.
This is looking really cool! I'm really interested in trying it out.
Since you mentioned Garmin Connect in this thread, I would like to throw in my five cents too. I'm in the Garmin ecosystem for my fitness tracking devices, so it would be amazing if the game could get my step counts from Garmin Connect, since that's where I'm collecting them anyway, and lugging my phone around to do the step counting can be a bit cumbersome. But if the game is fun enough, I guess it's not a dealbreaker for the time being!
And they didn't even hit the guy they believed to be shooting at them. Don't get me wrong, it's good that he was not injured for nothing. But with all that blasting, they didn't even hit their target.
Russia’s deputy U.N. ambassador Dmitry Polyansky and China’s U.N. envoy Zhang Jun argued that the U.N. Security Council never authorized military action against Yemen.
Did the Security Council authorize military action against Ukraine?
Sure then, if you want to call it that. But did it work? Were countries not invaded by the US thanks to Swedish appeasement?
