You are assuming the average American have the trade skills and knowledge to build a guillotine. They probably would just pull out their guns and go on a shooting rampage.

To be fair, Nancy Pelosi does have experience on what the inside of a Beijing police station holding cell looks like.
I still think that he is getting paid to make PR for Russia.
Anyone who seriously says that Russia has better R&D than S.Korea & Japan need a check up on their brain
No, I don't think he is paid by any country especially not Russia. It is IMO typical mind of some countries of 2nd or 3rd class trying to bragging up their importance by day-dreaming. I use to call them "punching way above their weight class".
If he is paid by anybody, he is doing a really crappy job.
Don't let him to pit Russia with SK, Japan or Germany or anyone that he might throw in the pit. His behaviour is like shooting everybody from every direction, so he could gain from everybody fighting everybody. Besides, SK and Japan are better in many things, but I can also count something that Russia is better than them, so I would not suggest going that direction which is what PMC always wanted as I suggested above.

He is very bad at his job then, because he is making anti-PR right now. This forum is already Russia-friendly and I would dare say Russia optimistic (take a look at Western-leaning forums - they essentially consider Russia a failed state and some quasi-vassal to China), so when some brainwashed chap comes and tries to circlejerk every little thing about Russia while putting down China & other countries, then it gives quite an inverse effect.
I doubt that is the case though, there are plenty of guys like him in the Runet who claim ownership of every invention, white countries are better at everything, dismissive attitude to Asian countries; etc. It is easy to find praises for apartheid and colonialism, etc. even in more liberal spaces while the rightists are outright neonazis on par with the most extreme Republicans.

Agree with your assessment. China had to follow the 2014 sanctions on Russia and more recent Iran ones during Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign as good faith to the US to prevent sanctioning of SMIC, COMAC, DJI... by kowtowing to US demand. However, these players are now all sanctioned, and the US has already played its hand. While the US could always ramp up more sanctions, they don't matter to china as much.
Every time the US sanctions you, they inflict pain but also there is a corresponding reduction in the threat of future pain. I'm sure the US would want to sanction Lenovo/Haier, but that is one where they would inflict less damage on China than potentially itself. China could go for the jugular and sanction Boeing as well as preventing use of chinese air space in coordination with Russia.
China will have to break multiple sanctions if Russia were going to be sanctioned by the west. Russia basically relies on China for consumer goods (not hard tech), and American "mother of all sanctions" are designed to target the civilian market. Make no mistake, sanctions on Russia does not involve America or Europe restricting trade with Russia, its ALL about driving trade away from China. Its like how US sanctions on chinese semi conductors increased demand for US chips (qualcomm) by china in short term.
Nationality, no; religious affiliation, possibly. In this instance, because it could be interpreted to imply that being Jewish necessitated being a Zionist sympathizer, which not all Jews are.
