  No changes until China decides to invade Taiwan and the sanctions that Russia currently has begin.

    Yeah, China are being “generic assholes” right now, but not crossing the lines into “serious villain shit” yet, at least for people who aren’t in China.

    But if they touch Taiwan, oh hell yeah.

      I mean there are chinese spies in europe, which suppress, bully and sometimes even kill chinese journalists who have fleed (?) to europe. And thats not even a conspiracy theory, there were investigative journalists who have uncovered this in several countries. So I’d say that china is reeealy close to that villain line

        Yeah, I think thats still really brushing the line.

        This is a carrot and stick thing, by making Russia an extreme example we can steer them back from the edge.

        But we do need to have other sanctions, they’re just being dickholes.

      Oh yeah, let’s wait until they start murdering people to maybe take some action.

        Yes.

        And when they start murdering people we bring down the wrath of God on them.

        That’s the problem with Russia, you have to be nice, up to the point they cross the line, then you turn the doom music on.

        We needed to start crushing their balls with a hydraulic press when they took Crimea, this is on us.
