Quote the whole post rather than truncate it for your agenda.
Um, no. You quote the relevent parts. You ever do research? You quote the whole book or just the relevant phrase?
I stated that even a symbolic action is better than just offering thoughts and prayers.
Yeah, you said symbolic is better but I disagree. It's useless and also, it doesn't mean that you don't "tolerate" anything because doing something symbolic means you'll still have to tolerate the genocide because you failed to stop the genocide. And also, you said symbolic is better than nothing; that does not conflict what you repeatedly implying that you'd go to the military option had you not met such resistance from your peers.
Just like how No First Use is completely unenforceable but is still foundational to China's development of conventionally tipped ICBM.
Completely unrelated.
Again, cutting out context. I even describe the questions as rhetorical because of PRC's non-interference policy. The CPC will not commit to any of the things I listed.
The non-interference policy is not the issue; the issue is that you cannot stop them without killing them and starting WWIII. You stated the military option twice as a question and that's on top of your implication that
if we do not bleed or burn resources, we can at least use sanctions.
No, military force is not the only way to exert pressure to get what you want. Unrestricted Warfare was written explicitly for that reason. The current SCS gray zone actions is evidence that you can impose your will upon other nations without escalating immediately to shooting.
I said with the Israelis. On certain people, sanctions and lesser efforts can work, like in the SCS. But Israel is as dedicated to wiping out Palestine as China is to repatrioting Taiwan. Neither will be rebuffed by sanctions once things get hot.
Omg you're hilarious. You start by calling me an asshole and now you're crying about ad hominems??
Realpolitik has its place but are you really suggesting that morality and ethics should have no place in international relations? Is a system that functions strictly on ruthless pragmatism the best or even the most desirable?
It's not the most desireable for everyone but realpolitik and force determine everything. A morality and ethnics discussion is basically a useless circle jerk amongst bleeding hearts. If you don't have the power to shape something, it will be shaped by those who do.
Quoting a tailored except of what I said is no better.
No, for anyone who has ever published anything or written academically, this is how you quote people, not on EVERYTHING they said.
I posted this vid by a Muslim geopolitical analyst earlier. Can you dispute what he says?
I'm not takng 25 minutes to watch that. You can summarize the points you want me to dispute.
China should never rule out increased defenses for Palestine either.
Specifically, how? You can provide them with smaller weapons to make things costlier for Israeli but people can't fight bombs and air strikes with assault rifles and grenades.
It's nowhere near a foregone conclusion that they lose. There's already a decent diaspora, there's people in the west bank. There's Arab Israeli citizens. Israel does not have the ability or even plans to get rid of all native semites within at least 10 years. Worries that Palestine will become like truly successfully genocided people are for now unfounded.
Look the the time lapse map of Palestine and Isreal. How much space was Palestinian and how much Israeli when Israel was founded? How much space do they each control now? That big picture shows me that the Palestinians have almost no chance of holding on. It doesn't mean they'll be gone next week but that's the long term trend.
The way I see it, China needs to humble the Arabs first. Arabs have shamefully allowed themselves to be colonized. They must reverse their mentality, otherwise, any significant boons to the Palestinian cause will be wasted by people who don't have the willpower to fight.
OK... that's another way but the way I see it, China needs to dethrone America. From then on, all will be easy.
But whenever the situation presents wherein China can inflict maximum pain on America through tough action on Israel, Beijing should not hesitate to execute it. The whole reason China is involved in the ME to begin with is to curtail American threat, not stop locals from attacking other locals. The Arab cause simply aligns as the one that is most useful right now.
I wouldn't even call it pain but to complicate America's plans and to mire it further. Unfortunately, I don't see how any of them can stop Israel's genocide of Palestinian children.
