Beijing is “picking a side” and can’t claim to be neutral any more, the US ambassador to NATO tells POLITICO.
China is helping Russia meet its war goals in Ukraine by continuing to sell supplies such as drone technology and gunpowder ingredients to Moscow, the U.S. Ambassador to NATO said in an interview.
“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] cannot claim to be entirely neutral in this case, [and] they are in fact picking a side,” Julianne Smith told POLITICO on Tuesday. “I think when the PRC tries to portray itself as neutral, when it comes to this war, we don’t buy it.”
Smith said the United States was “increasingly seeing materiel support” from China to Russia, adding that this equipment — which can have both civilian and military uses — had played a critical role in helping Moscow achieve some of its aims against Ukraine.
This has almost nothing to do with Islam. They were ejected from their lands and then shoved into tightly controlled areas while being denied the right to exist as their own country. They are terrorists fighting for their independence.
“One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.” Has never rung more true than for the Palestinians. I won’t argue that they aren’t committing acts of terror, they absolutely are, but it’s not purely bloodlust for the sake of their religion. It’s the only thing they have left as the entire world failed them.
They’re now stuck (HAMAS) with an asshat of a leader though that also seems to be refusing compromise. It’s all the land they want and for Israel to go away or fuck off completely.
I never once said I agree with Israel. Western nations should have never done what they did creating the state, but to act like Hamas wouldn’t wipe Israel off the face of the earth in the name of religion is naive.
