    Can you explain why Russia and China haven’t sanctioned the US if they are so opposed to what the US is doing?

      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.

            Maybe they should stop being such goody-two-shoes then if they want to have an influence in 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.

          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.

        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?

            It’s not appeasement if the party being “appeased” is not opposed to you to begin with.

                Now you lost me, surely Hitler was being appeased by the Allies allowing him to do things they would’ve preferred him not to do?

                    Sure they would, but not as much as Russia doing the same but much closer to Sweden.
