They're trying to deter 3rd parties from engaging in financial transactions with China, Russia, or Iran using local currencies and systems. If you can't transact financially, you can't do business or trade. They're essentially trying to do the financial version of a classic naval blockade/trade embargo. The world will not be safe until the dollar has been completely and totally abandoned by every individual, company, and institution outside America.
Actually no, the sanctions are targeted specifically at entities in “countries of concern” which are China, Iran, Russia, etc. It excludes third party countries so ironically if India uses CIPS to pay for Chinese products only the Chinese companies and banks get punished, not the Indian ones.

Not surprisingly Rubio recently introduced another bill proposing to elevate relations with India to the level of Japan, Israel, etc., so obviously the Indians can trade as they please with Russia.

It is basically pure geopolitics. No consistent standards whatsoever and the world of course sees that.

So you think 500,000 Russians have died in the Ukraine war, yet Russia is not even bothering with implementing a draft?

  • Foreign mercenaries fighting for Russia (according to him) are from Cuba, Nepal, China, India.
  • Polish mortars are dangerous. Unlike other Western', these don't make a sound coming in.
  • In one upcoming urban battle, many soldiers refused to participate, including Russian, Indian, and Nepali. The Nepali with him is scared to death.
  • Lot of drone warfare from both sides.
  • Lot of dead bodies.
  • Very ruthless war.

This forum is not for the sensitive. There are hard truths being discussed here, even for the Chinese world.
Before you attempt to discuss hard truths, try learning the basics. You are perpetuating the same nonsense as Western media by deliberately misunderstanding and generalizing. I'm merely pointing out the difference between Wahhabi vs Salafi and correcting the misinformation you've been fed. If you still want to ignore it and treat both the same, go right ahead, you'll find plenty of mutual support on CNN, but don't then complain about your frustration.

For people at the receiving end of Islamic terrorism, the distinction between Salafi and Wahabi is moot. That is why it doesn't really matter that I mention Salafi-Wahabi.
Of course it matters! Two different ideologies with two different motives. If you choose to be ignorant, then yes, it is totally moot. Might as well add -Khalistani to Salafi-Wahhabi. How about this: Salafi-Wahhabi-Khalistani-Tamil Eelam-Kuki-Khmer Rouge? ..since they all chop off heads.

Haniyeh killed. His 3 sons killed. 4 of his grand kids also car bombed.

Iranian Consulate bombed. Senior commanders killed.

Chief nuclear scientist killed in 007 style with remote controlled machine gun. Body cut to pieces.

President killed in helicopter crash.

Soleimani killed by Trump. Obama and all previous presidents were scared of repercussion. Yet nothing major happened.

Trump is back for round 2 next year.

You do what you gotta do in terms of response. But here’s a picture of your house, your kids, grand kids. Good luck.
It takes a special kind of evil to target a person's entire family like that, or to kill civilian scientists

But hey as long as it's a US ally doing it then it's all good

Even though Turkey make some harsh statements about Palestine... These country is not Arab and will not accept going to war or crisis for the Palestinian Arabs.
Iran in order to avoid fighting on its own soil, creates a proxy force using only Shia Muslims in the middle east. They will not take any big step for Sunni Palestinians too.
Only Egypt, Jordan and the Gulf Arabs can liberate Palestine, but they do not have the independence to do so.
No Arab country can liberate anything whether they are independent or not. It should stay that way.

Says the person who doesn't understand the basics of nuclear weapons. Yet wanna act smart and smug about it.

Stop playing victim. You can't face the truth. You like to generalise anyone who criticises the Muslim world is a Western stooge. Again, I do not believe that Islam as evil. But I know that there are men who interprets Islam in their own way to do evil. It's the same problem that is happening in all the other Abrahamic religions. There are plenty of Muslims who readily believe the lies of West and kill people for them. So do not dismiss my frustration about the Muslim world. Answer my question! Why should the Muslim world be trusted when so many of them have hurt, betrayed, and oppressed their own and so many people on behalf of the West, or to pursue their extremist agenda?

Of course it matters! Two different ideologies with two different motives. If you choose to be ignorant, then yes, it is totally moot. Might as well add -Khalistani to Salafi-Wahhabi. How about this: Salafi-Wahhabi-Khalistani-Tamil Eelam-Kuki-Khmer Rouge? ..since they all chop off heads.
It's still a moot argument. Both the Salafi and Wahhabi sects have produced their fair share of violent extremists who kills people for the West. ISIS, and Jabhat al-Nusra all exist. ETIM who targets the Chinese are Salafi.

You bringing up other ethnicities and violent groups is just for distraction. You wanna know who else chop heads? The Europeans in the Middle Ages, Japan before the end of WW2, Imperial China, the Ottomans, the Saudis, the narco gangs of today. Stop throwing things around, playing victim, and pretending that there are no serious problems in the Muslim world. This is the hard truth, and you're refusing to face it. Which makes me respect you even less.

The US doesn't change course because what they're doing isn't working. They don't change course because they don't want to admit to being wrong.
They don't change course because they are stuck. The moment Trump initiated the Tech War, that was it for the US. They can only follow the current path now because whatever else they do or say, China will never believe them again
