Democracies are two-faced. Say one thing to the citizens that's morally and ethical that their country stands for to get them on board for and then completely do another thing for the country. The citizens usually shut up after that because they don't want their countries to look like they're two-faced thus have no credibility.

I am still not fully convinced Russia wants to invade Ukraine.
What would be the end game? A full annexation is ridiculous and untenable, while taking just the Russian majority half does very little to change the broader Russian grievance of NATO expansion.
I feel it is more likely that China has made up its mind that its time to take Taiwan back, and this is both Russia playing decoy, and also planting some options for future moves to undermine NATO.
The Russians are making way too much noise about invading Ukraine when they can’t win such a fight against a determined US led NATO interventional (even going nuclear will not win him the fight, since best came scenario there is that it ends up as a draw). It’s almost like they are trying to get the US to commit massive military forces to Eastern Europe to guard against such a Russian invasion. Would be mean those US military forces are not available to be rapidly deployed against China in a Taiwan reunification scenario.
America seems to also smell something fishy, and it’s military response to all the Russian threats are conspicuous in its absence, which is not a great look for NATO.
If and when China takes Taiwan and America deploys the bulk of its best forces into Asia, it will leave Ukraine and NATO high and dry. Because without massive American military commitments, NATO has no viable military option against a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
But then the original question of what Russia’s endgame in such an invasion comes back into play. Unless the whole point is to show how weak and toothless NATO has become as America refocuses on Asia and China. But that seems like a lot of costs and risks to play for so little return. It might be worth it if Putin thinks he can somehow leverage an invasion of Ukraine to collapse NATO, but I just cannot see how that will actually work.

No different from when the US tells other countries' companies which countries they can sell to. BTW, the author of this article claims she was raped in China and said all Chinese men are rapists at the same time Donald Trump said all Mexicans are rapists.

I bet a lot of nobodies in the West are angry that China is denying them from making money in China as influencers. Just like Forbes magazine proclaiming China having the most self-made female billionaires, more than the rest of the world combined, some women in the US complained how come they're not making money in China like it was their right being denied?
She was raped in China? And then all of a sudden all Chinese men are rapists? Racist much? I couldn't take her shit seriously.
Which fool wants to rape white women. You have to be desperate to put your cock in that Karen. Chinese women are so much more beautifuler to the eye than white ladies.
Was it ever proven? I looked at her bio and she spent lots of time to study in China to learn the language and all her work is ANTI-CHINA. A story of being rape by "salvages" adds to the story of yellow peril. I suspect these people are being paid or motivate by some other 3 letter organization.
