7 months agoSuper NATO equipped Ukrainians is funny, because for the most part they’ve always been under equipped. If NATO hadn’t been so reserved and gave Ukraine a blank check from the get go they would have stomped Russia. Still no F-16s, Hungary and Republicans are stonewalling efforts being authoritarian sympathizers, and now Ukrainians are starting to feel ammo and manpower shortages.
The modern Chinese economy is very dependent on trade with the West and other East Asian nations that are generally more favorable of the west.
Those resources aren’t shit if they can’t make them into shit others will buy.
