it's an article about an executive order that was signed today and accurate describes the landscape. It's pro-establishment but not propaganda. Why do you think it's propaganda?

I don’t know why China is so keen on helping Russia. Is this some kind of godfather deal and they want some massive ROI from Russia once things settle down a bit? Or is this some long-term strategy “against the West”?

It's win-win for them, no? A weak Russia isolated from the west means cheap resources for China. And the West focusing on the conflict and spending resources in Europe draws attention away from China in Asia. Seems like it's their interest to keep both parties in a drawn out conflict. Though perhaps they have to balance it with how it affects the world economy.

> win-win for them, no?

No.

Taiwan is seeing a massive increase in morale and defense interest [1]. The West has unified in a way not seen since World War II. If Xi sides with the baddies, he risks the stink rubbing off on him.

These two statements appear to be in contradiction.

I have an anti-misinformation agenda. Nothing more, nothing less, at this time, thank you very much.

Political propaganda has no place on these advertising platforms. Deeper pockets shouldn't mean a louder voice on these matters.

I agree, but sadly deeper pockets have always meant louder voice.

That does not mean we should offer megaphones to the most powerful, does it?

What's not to understand? Russia is doing the pre-production research of how China will need to protect their economy when they put their military in Taiwan.

> What's not to understand? Russia is doing the pre-production research of how China will need to protect their economy when they put their military in Taiwan. China will not get sanctioned like Russia has. The world's dependence on Chinese manufacturing is like Europe's dependence on Russian gas, times ten. Or, more precisely, it will get sanctioned like Russia has, but like the Russian sanctions, they will include…

> China will not get sanctioned like Russia has

Nobody thought Russia would get sanctioned like Russia has.
