Russia and China aren’t doing sanctions like the US is because those sanctions are illegal.
Ah yes, Russia and China, so well known for following international law to the letter.
More so than NATO.
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.
They follow it a helluva lot more than the US does, which fabricated a whole “rules-based international order,” which is nothing but We make up the rules, and order everyone around. Mafia rule.
