Excellent, the more of this garbage he brings, the more the usa loses sight of what is more important. At this time, they should worry more about the well being of the nation and the fall of there economy and the possible destruction of the usa dollar then making Russia and China angry because they are not stupid nations that will make foolish moves but rather calculated moves when the USA uses all of there cards. Right now, people in the USA on average trust the MSN a lot less then they once used to
The hero we don't deserve
"Laos to open Chinese-built railway amid fears of Beijing’s influence" is a double insult to both Laos and China, as if Laos is too DUMB to make a proper choice, and China is too BAD for debt/influence. Westerners are so salty, they are just portraying BOTH sides as bad since they aren't worshipping the West. Truly pathetic.
@Phead128 bro that remark of yours truly reflect why we in the global south is happy for the rise of China. It had given us here true freedom of Action, Decision and Choice. No amount of election will be democratic if your country is subjugated by a foreign country and its international entities (NATO) or institution(WB & IMF).
People in Laos and the rest of South East Asia are actually very happy about the high speed train project. Once the pandemic dies down it will increase tourism and investment in the area by a great deal.
I'm not worried about the 2-3 year horizon. I'm more worried about short term pressure on Russia. The US is using a stick against Russia, hopefully to get it to turn against China. China should offer some carrots to mitigate Russian damage. While Russia and China have independent foreign policy (i.e. India) Russia has still been going out of its way to support China in multiple international forums right now. We should help support them against economic damage while staying neutral on territorial matters in eastern europe.
@j17wang bro pressure the Russian? In her history people especially in the West had belittled her gritness and strength of character that led to their peril. Napoleon in 1812, Hitler in 1941 and Saakashvili in 2008. On each of those event Russia is not strong BUT they fought back.
Bro constant use of sanction, the unintended consequences, the receiving party had become immune, had develop a counter strategy by being self sufficient, in effect become sanction proof. Its an oxymoron strategy fit for 3rd world or despot countries not a resources rich world power with nuclear weapon.
They really have to militarize everything about China
